Meet Our Young Entrepreneurs丨北京耀中的年轻企业家

Meet Our Young Entrepreneurs

北京耀中的年轻企业家

“We do small things with great hearts.” – ‘The Light’ Team: Daisy, Charles, Jamie and Justin.

“我们用大爱做小事。” The Light团队：林李诗涵、林恆毅、万曦霆和朱育。

They call themselves ‘The Light’ as their overall entrepreneurial mission is to make this world a brighter and better place. Four YCIS Beijing students, Daisy Lin (Year 8), Justin Chu, Charles Lin and Jamie Wan (Year 6), shone their light by forming a winning team as they participated in the ‘FutureStarUp International Youth Innovation & Entrepreneurship Contest’ (YIEC) 2022 on the 29th of May. Our students competed against 45 teams of 182 students from ten countries and regions, landing 3rd place with their startup idea. In this annual international contest, having a good idea is not enough, the students must prove their innovation worthy of entrepreneurship and social impact by presenting and pitching their business plan to an international panel of judges and providing clear answers to their probing questions.

他们给自己的队伍取名“The Light”（耀光），因为他们创业的使命是让这个世界变得更好。北京耀中国际学校的学生林李诗涵、朱育、林恆毅和万曦霆，他们组成的这支优胜队于2022年5月29日参加了未来创业之星-国际青少年创新创业比赛（YIEC）。我们的学生和来自10个国家和地区的182位参赛选手组成的42支队伍同场竞技，最终以优秀的创业想法获得第三名。在这个年度国际比赛中，有一个突出的创业想法并不够，学生还需要向国际评委团演讲展示他们的商业计划、清楚地回答评审团的问题，以证明他们的创意值得开发并且具有社会影响力。

We spoke to our young entrepreneurs to learn more about their team and their unique startup idea ‘Astro Power’!

现在让我们跟我们年轻的企业家们一起，了解他们的团队和独特的创业想法“宇宙能源”！

Please briefly explain your business idea.

请简单介绍你们的商业构想。

Charles林恆毅:

Our business plan is to provide a new source of energy for humans which comes from solar power from space. The solar power will be generated by solar panels which will be placed on existing satellites. The solar power will be transferred to every G-station on earth by using a wireless connection. Then, electricity will be distributed to the applier for each family. Our product is more eco-friendly, and it provides more economical electricity for people.

我们的商业计划是为人类提供一个新的能源，这个能源来自于宇宙的太阳能。太阳能会被收集到已有人造卫星的太阳能板中。太阳能将通过无线连接被转移到地球上的每个充电站，然后电会被分配到存储器供每个家庭使用。我们的产品更节能、更环保。

Jamie 万曦霆:

I asked my Dad for inspiration about high-tech innovation, and he talked about some of his childhood imaginations. Then, I drafted my first design layout of our product and created a 3D composition video for the presentation to explain the chain of getting Astro Power from space and receiving the energy from our product, ‘Astro Power Applier’. 

我跟我爸爸咨询高新技术发明，他跟我分享了自己小时候的畅想。然后我画出了我们产品的第一版设计并做了一个3D组装视频，以便展示时用来解释从宇宙获取能源并最终转移到我们产品“宇宙能源存储器”的工作原理。

What drove you to join YIEC Young International Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Contest 2022?

你为什么参加2022届YIEC国际青少年创新创业比赛？

Justin 朱育:

Last year, my brother Brendon and Jamie’s brother Jerry joined the International Youth Innovation & Entrepreneurship Contest and won 2nd place. (YCIS Beijing Year 8 students Brendon Chu, Jeremy Wan, Mickey Wong and Chan Hok Sum, ‘The Good Idea Group’, achieved 2nd place at YIEC 2021). We really admired their success, so we decided to join this year. We invited Charles and his sister Daisy to join our team. Each one of us has our own unique qualities that makes us a great team together. I really enjoyed working with them and am very proud of the final product and business plan we put together.

去年我的哥哥朱祐和万曦霆的哥哥万曦然参加了国际青少年创新创业比赛，他们获得了第二名。（北京耀中八年级学生朱祐、万曦然、王俊智和陈学深组成The Good Idea Group队，取得了2021年比赛的第二名）。我们很崇拜他们取得的成就，因此决定今年组队参赛。我们邀请林恆毅和他的姐姐林李诗涵加入。每个人都有自己的特长，这也让我们成为一支很棒的队伍。我很享受和队友们一起合作，为我们最终成型的产品和商业计划感到骄傲。

Jamie 万曦霆:

Charles and Justin are my best friends in school. We have known each other since were chubby toddlers. Our friendship has given us a great bond, and this great bond helped us form a great team.

林恆毅和朱育是我在学校最好的朋友，我们从小就认识。我们之间的友谊是个很好的纽带，这个纽带帮助我们建立很棒的团队。

What were the biggest challenge and the biggest benefit of joining the contest?

参加者比赛最大的挑战和最大的好处是什么？

Daisy 林李诗涵:

The idea ‘Astro Power’ came from my teammate, Jamie. His idea is unique and creative, and it does solve a lot of problems for people around the world. But it was a bit challenging for us because we hadn’t learned too much about all the things we needed to know in order to plan this project.

“宇宙能源”这个想法来源于我的队友万曦霆。他的想法独特且创新，也为人们解决了现实存在的很多问题。但是这对我们来说很有挑战，因为我们还没有足够的知识储备去规划这个项目。

Charles 林恆毅:

The biggest challenge at the beginning was understanding how this great idea would work. Later, with several conference calls held with some aerospace and energy professionals, as well as our own research, we finally understood the science behind it. The biggest benefit is we persisted in practicing over and over again which allowed us to be fully prepared and present smoothly.

一开始最大的挑战是了解如何让这个伟大的想法成为现实。之后，经过几次和航空及能源专家的电话会议和亲自调研后，我们终于理解背后的科学原理。最大的收获是我们坚持不断练习，让我们可以做好充分准备并顺利展示我们的产品和商业理念。

How did YCIS inspire and support you in your business endeavour?

北京耀中在商业方面如何启发和支持你们？

Justin 朱育:

At school, our teachers always teach us to be innovative and think boldly, and this is why we have lots of creative and even crazy ideas. We will look at a problem from different perspectives and think of different ways to solve the problem. YCIS always supports us when we have activities, and in this contest, YCIS supported us a lot too. They gave us spaces to work and an IT technician to help us.

在学校，我们的老师总是教我们要创新、大胆去想，这也是为什么我们有很多有创意甚至疯狂的想法；这也是我们为什么能用不同的角度看待问题、用不同的方式去解决问题。学校在我们参加活动时总是给予我们支持，在这个比赛中学校也给我们很多支持，包括提供场地和技术人员来帮助我们。

Daisy 林李诗涵:

YCIS teachers gave us a lot of support. They gave us a lot of comments and advice on how to make our presentation even better. They also provided inspiration. Our Head of Secondary, Ms Edge, told our class that she earned money by herself when she was in Secondary school. After listening to her story, I got interested in business, marketing, and this cool project. We are very grateful that YCIS gave us so much support.

北京耀中的老师的确给予我们非常大的帮助。老师针对我们的展示给出很多点评和建议，让我们能做得更好。同时，他们也不断启发我们，中学部主管Edge女士告诉我们班的同学，她在中学的时候就自己创业了。在听到她的故事后，我对商业、市场和这个非常酷的项目产生了兴趣。我们非常感谢学校能够给我们这么多的支持和帮助。

We congratulate our students on their dedication to innovation and hard work as well as on successfully pitching their business idea. Both YCIS Beijing teams ‘The Light’ and ‘The Good Idea Group’ are not resting on their laurels; they are looking forward to participating in YIEC 2023 with the aim of achieving 1st place. We are excited to see more great innovative ideas from our students!

让我们祝贺同学们对创新的坚持、努力，祝贺他们成功销售自己的商业想法。北京耀中的两支队伍The Light和The Good Idea Group不仅取得了比赛的胜利，他们还满怀信心期待参加2023年的比赛，目标是获得第一名。我们很高兴看到同学们有越来越多的伟大创想！
