Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer…… Because it teaches you how to think.

　　這個國家每個人都應該學會計算機編程......因為它能教會你如何思考。

　　The final results of the ACSL Competition – Preliminary Round have been recently released. Nearly 1500 students from 539 top-level schools, including international schools, participated in the Chinese round of this prestigious international competition, but only 988 students (divided into 4 categories: Elementary, Junior, Intermediate and Advanced) qualified for the finals.

About the American Computer Science League

關(guān)于美國計算機科學聯(lián)賽

　　The American Computer Science League (ACSL)was born in the Silicon Valley of the United States and has a 40-year history. It is a long-standing computer programming competition for American elementary and middle school students. The competition has been also officially certified and recommended bythe National League of Secondary School Principals NASSP and the American Association of Teachers of Computer Science and received support from worldwide high-tech & informatics companies such as Google, Adobe, No Starch Press, O'Reilly Media, Pearson, Pragmatic Bookshelf, and Wolfram.

　　美國計算機科學聯(lián)賽起源于美國硅谷，擁有 40 年的歷史，是美國歷史悠久的中小學生計算機編程賽事之一。該比賽同時獲得了美國國家中學校長聯(lián)盟 NASSP 與美國計算機科學教師協(xié)會的官方認證和推薦，同時獲得了如谷歌、Adobe、No Starch Press、O'Reilly Media、Pearson、Pragmatic Bookshelf、and Wolfram 等著名高科技和教育企業(yè)的支持。

　　The outstanding performance of our students is the result of our top-level curriculum. Starting from last semester, the school has implemented a world-class coding program for our students, and hired Dr. Chen Chen, as the school’s STEAM Program Advisor.

　　By incorporating coding into our daily curriculum our students not only learn coding and programming from an early age, but are also able to show their skills in international competitions. Being able to qualify for the finals of such a prestigious competition after learning coding for just such a short period clearly demonstrates the unparalleled quality of our courses.

　　此次競賽我校學生的優(yōu)秀表現(xiàn)得益于HQIS課程體系上的優(yōu)勢，本學期HQIS引入了世界級的編程團隊，并聘請了金牌教練陳琛博士作為學校STEAM項目顧問.

　　編程作為一門必修課融入到了日常課程中，學生們不僅可以盡早地體驗編程課程，還可以在世界編程競賽中大展身手，能在這么短的時間內(nèi)參加競賽并且獲得不俗的成績，師生們的努力有目共睹。

　　Greetings, I am honored to bring you good news: 78% of our students who participated in the ACSL competition successfully qualified for the finals. I am very proud of the outstanding performance of all the students and their teachers because I believe that every student has put in a lot of effort for this competition. At the same time, I hope that you will keep the same enthusiasm for the finals and distinguish yourself once again. In addition, I also want to thank our instructor, Mr. Frank, for his tireless dedication and patient guidance. Your help and hard work allowed our students to get to the next level.

　　——Dr. Chen Chen

　　大家好，很榮幸可以為大家?guī)硪粍t好消息，我們學校今年參加ACSL比賽的同學中有78%成功晉級了決賽。我對所有同學們和相關(guān)授課老師們的杰出表現(xiàn)感到非常自豪，因為我相信，每一位同學都為了這個比賽付出了相當多的努力，同時我希望你們保持這股干勁到?jīng)Q賽，為自己為學校爭取更多的榮譽。另外，也要感謝指導老師Mr. Frank的不懈付出和耐心指導，你的幫助讓孩子們得以走得更遠。

　　I am very happy to know that most of our participating students have successfully qualified. As the instructor, I just want to say that you guys are great! Of course, we can't relax just now. The second round of the competition will take place on February 20th, and I hope everyone will keep working hard and strive to get better results. And for those who did not make it, it’s ok, participating was a fun and enriching experience. I’m sure you can better prepare for the next year!

　　非常高興得知我們大部分參賽學生都成功晉級了決賽，作為指導老師我只想說，你們都太棒了！當然了，現(xiàn)在還不能松懈，第二輪比賽將于2月20日開始，大家一定要繼續(xù)加油，爭取保持這樣好的勢頭，獲得更好的成績。這次沒有晉級的同學也不必灰心氣餒，咱們重在參與，明年繼續(xù)努力！

　　在HQIS，孩子們在9歲時就開始學習編寫編碼命令、調(diào)試和解密代碼行。這門課的價值主要在于培養(yǎng)孩子邏輯思考和解決問題的能力，并鍛煉他們的耐心。

　　有些孩子本來就喜歡在紙上或iPad上畫圖形，現(xiàn)在把圖形設(shè)計通過編程的方式轉(zhuǎn)換到了電腦屏幕上，原先他們做數(shù)學題可能是口算計算器，現(xiàn)在我們教他們通過編程讓計算機來做重復或復雜的數(shù)學題。無論課堂案例還是課后作業(yè)學校采用的都是Prolem-based Learning，經(jīng)過一段時間的系統(tǒng)學習，不管學生學習進度快慢，最終都會看到進步和成果。

　　HQIS Coding Program

　　Top programming competitions are not only an excellent opportunity for students to improve their skills and display their abilities, but it is also a must-have for those who would like to apply to top-tier universities such as Harvard or MIT. Congratulations on your terrific job dear students, we hope to see more and more students on the global stage of AI and programming in the future!

世界級的編程競賽不僅是

學生背景提升和能力展示的絕佳機會，

也是直通哈佛、麻省理工等

世界頂尖大學的敲門磚。

再次祝賀本次比賽晉級的同學，

期待未來有越來越多的HQIS學生

在世界級的編程舞臺上取得佳績！
