Puxi Campus Grade 3
以创意与协作 探索环保时尚新未来
STEAM WEEK
在刚刚结束的STEAM周活动中，三年级的学生们经历了一场充满创意、协作与实践的探索之旅。本次活动聚焦于一个具有现实意义的全球性问题——“快时尚”引发的服装浪费危机。面对废弃衣物，学生们深入思考：我们怎样通过改造旧衣物，来帮助保护我们的地球？
为应对这一挑战，三年级的学生们投身于跨学科的STEAM活动。本次STEAM周特别引入了《STEAM学习手册》，引导学生以小组形式完成“设计、制作、写作、展示”四大协作环节。各小组成员分工明确，分别担任“裁缝”、“设计师”、“作家”、“演说家”、“老师”等重要角色。手册的使用让学习过程更有条理，也帮助学生们清晰了解每个阶段的任务目标。
在科学和社会科学课上，大家深入了解了快时尚对环境的深远影响，并学习了人们为减少纺织物污染所提出的各种解决方案。随后，学生们用卷尺测量尺寸，规划如何设计服装。紧接着就是最激动人心的部分：时尚设计挑战。
各小组通力合作，利用从家中带来的废旧物品，如纸板、塑料、旧布料、瓶盖等，设计并制作出独一无二的环保时装。
从头脑风暴、绘制草图，到测试材料、调整方案并解决制作中的难题，学生们全程投入。这个过程不仅锻炼了他们的创造力与批判性思维，更让他们在实践中学会了团队协作、沟通与灵活应变。
完成设计与制作后，学生们分头准备在各自班级内的展示：有的担任模特，穿上设计好的服装，把教室的过道当作T台，走出自信的步伐；有的撰写了清晰的中英演讲词，条理分明地阐述自己的设计理念，强调资源回收的重要性；有的负责演说，用响亮的声音为T台增光添彩……
STEAM周的压轴环节是大家期待已久的时装秀。在礼堂里，每个小组的模特都自信地登上T台，自豪地展示他们的设计成果，每班人气最高的一个小组，还用中英文流畅地做了完整的作品介绍。观众们都被他们的创新精神、团队合作和热情所感动。
在活动尾声，学生们还通过总结反思，与组员共同回顾了彼此的贡献，选出合作过程中最自豪的部分，还提出了改进建议。
STEAM周让三年级的学生们学到了如何成为问题解决者、创意设计师以及心怀地球的全球公民。他们明白了即使是小小的改变：如重新利用旧材料，也可以带来巨大的影响。我们为他们的创造力、努力和勇气感到骄傲！
STEAM Week:Exploring a New Future for Eco-Fashion Through Creativity and Collaboration
STEAM Week in third grade was an exciting blend of creativity, collaboration, and hands-on discovery! Our young designers spent the week exploring a meaningful global issue: the growing clothing crisis. With landfills around the world filling up with discarded clothing, students were challenged to think deeply about one essential question— How can we rethink, reuse, and reinvent what we wear to help protect our planet?
A key part of the experience was the STEAM Workbook, which guided students through four collaborative sections: design, create, write, and present. Each group assigned roles, outlined responsibilities, and evaluated both individual and team effectiveness. The workbook kept them organized, on track, and aware of every expectation from start to finish. At the end of the week, students completed a reflection to hold themselves and their teammates accountable for their contributions— reinforcing not only creativity but also responsibility and teamwork.
To tackle the challenge, students engaged in a cross-curricular STEAM journey connecting English, Chinese, science, social studies, and math. In math, they measured materials and planned outfit structures with accuracy and logic. Through science and social studies, they investigated the environmental impact of fast fashion and explored global solutions to textile waste. In English and Chinese, they crafted speeches explaining their design choices and practiced delivering them confidently and clearly.
Then came the most anticipated moment: the fashion design challenge! Using recycled materials from home, each group created an original outfit, experimenting with cardboard, fabric scraps, paper, plastic, and more. They brainstormed ideas, sketched designs, tested materials, and solved engineering challenges— strengthening both creativity and collaboration.
The week concluded with a high-energy fashion show in the auditorium, where students proudly modeled their outfits and presented their bilingual speeches. The enthusiasm, innovation, and teamwork on display made the event truly unforgettable.
STEAM Week showcased not only creativity and ingenuity, but also collaboration, organization, and accountability. We are incredibly proud of our students' imagination, dedication, and willingness to think like global citizens and problem-solvers.
