The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is designed for students aged 11-16, aiming to provide a structured way of learning and encourage students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers. It emphasizes intelligence, challenges, and encourages students to build connections between traditional subject content and the real world. It supports students to develop communication skills, multicultural understanding and global involvement. In addition to many other qualities, these are the basic qualities that students need to have to become active and leading members of the international community.

国际文凭中学项目（MYP）专为11-16岁的学生设计，旨在提供结构化的学习方式，鼓励学生成为创造性批判性和反思性的思考者。它强调智力和挑战，并鼓励学生在传统学科内容和现实世界之间建立联系。它支持学生发展沟通技能、多元文化理解和全球参与，除其他许多素质外，这些都是学生成为国际社区积极参与者和领导者所需的基本素质。

About IB MYP Design

关于中学设计课程

The MYP design course challenges all students to:

· apply practical and creative thinking skills to solve design problems;

· explore the role of design in both historical and contemporary contexts.

· consider their responsibilities when making design decisions and taking action.

学生在中学设计课程中可能面临的挑战：

- 运用实践和创造性思维技能来解决设计问题；

- 探索设计在历史和当代背景下的作用；

- 在做出设计决定和采取行动时所考虑到的自身责任。

At CISK, students study design in two distinct courses, digital design and product design , from Grade 6 to Grade 10.

在CISK，学生从6年级到10年级学习两门不同的设计课程：数字设计和产品设计。

Digital Design

数字设计

As Mr. Karl Holloway, our teacher of digital design, says, technology is expanding every day, and understanding the essentials of computers is growing ever dominant. In his class, students begin learning the fundamentals of programming, concepts such as Data structures, Algorithms, 3d modeling, Artificial Intelligence, and Animation programming.

正如我们的数字设计老师Karl Holloway所说，技术变革日新月异。因此，对计算机本质的理解也越来越重要。在他的课上，学生们学习许多有关编程的知识：如数据结构、算法、三维建模、人工智能和动画编程等概念。

In the early years of the program, the students develop a base for understanding how to apply research and problem-solving skills. The program moves forward at a steady pace and the students take all their knowledge and design User Interface tangible applications. Software design can be one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of digital design.

在该项目的早期阶段，学生们的应用研究和解决问题的能力能得到初步的锻炼。接着，随着该课程的发展，学生们能利用他们所学的所有知识来设计用户界面的具体应用。软件设计可能是数字设计中最具挑战性和最有价值的课程之一。

By the end of the course, students will have a deft number of skills that they are able to use in their everyday lives which include academics, work, and various social environments. Consequently, understanding the importance of technology can expand the student’s critical thinking skills.

在该课程结束时，学生将学会许多实用的技能，使他们在日常的学习、工作、以及其他生活环境中得以使用。因此，了解技术的重要性可以扩大学生批判性思维能力。

Product design

产品设计

According to Ms. Nancy Gu, inquiry and problem-solving are at the heart of MYP product design. The subject requires the use of the design cycle as a tool that provides the methodology used to structure the inquiry and analysis of problems, the development of feasible solutions, the creation of solutions, and the testing and evaluation of the solution. Students are expected to become actively involved in, and to focus on, the whole design process rather than on the final product/solution.

根据Nancy Gu老师的说法，探究和解决问题是中学产品设计的核心。该科目要求使用设计周期作为工具，提供用于组织探究和分析问题的方法，制定可行的解决方案，创造解决方案，以及测试和评估解决方案。学生应该积极参与并关注整个设计过程，而不是关注最终产品/解决方案。

In MYP product design, a solution can be defined as a model, prototype, or product that students have developed and created independently.

在中学项目产品设计中，解决方案可以被定义为学生独立开发和创造的模型、原型及产品。
