Soft Skills in Our Design and Technology Programme

One of the core tenets of the Yew ChungInternational School of Beijing school motto is to “Integrate with Technology;” our upcoming Open Day on December 1, hosted by our Secondary School Vice-Principal Don Collins, will explain how the school effectively utilizes technology in the classroom and beyond.

北京耀中国际学校的一个校训是“与科技结盟”。12月1日将举办的开放日，将由我们的中学部副校长Don Collins主持，届时他将和大家分享我校是如何有效地在课室及其他场所使用科技教学及学习。

Perhaps the most clear-cut example of this meld between technology and education is YCIS Beijing’s Design and Technology Programme, a class that utilizes cutting edge devices and software to imbue in students creativity, problem-solving, and other soft skills necessary for success in their post-academic careers.

或许，最能说明北京耀中国际学校科技与教育结盟的一个例子就是科技与设计课程。这个课程利用最前沿的设备及软件，去培养学生的创意、解决问题的能力以及其他必要的软技巧，以确保学生日后的学习生涯。

Below, Nicolas Manchematin, our newly arrived Design and Technology teacher, explains his teaching philosophy and why he believes the programme to be such an advantageous and mind-expanding opportunity for our Secondary School students.

下面我们新上任的设计与科技任课老师Nicolas Manchematin将和大家分享他的教学哲学。他认为这个课程对学生的裨益之处，能大大地拓展中学生的思维。

Please introduce some key aspects of YCIS Beijing's Design and Technology programme.

请您介绍一下这门课程核心的几个方面。

We offer the Design and Technology programme to students from Years 7-11. In Years 7-9, we try to give them as varied as possible of an experience. We have a textile project, some computer design, woodworking, and more. We try to give them a taste of all the different areas. In IGCSE, we focus on graphics and architecture. Graphics happens to be the core of my specialty, so that works out well.

我们为七至十一年级的学生提供这门课程。七至九年级，我们为学生提供尽可能多的体验。我们有纺织项目、电脑设计、制造木材以及其他项目。我们尝试给学生尝试不同的领域。在IGCSE阶段，我们将聚焦平面设计及建筑领域。平面设计是我的专长，因此我会给予更多的专项指导。
