创客计划 Maker Programme
栽培明日的创造者
通过以好品德好公民、资讯科技、科学、数学为主的综合课程,这项计划专注于培养学生外向型、创新型和成长型思维(OMG)。设计思维专题作业、创客南洋、南洋乐高联盟、WEDO南洋及全年级的“德育在于行动”活动都是本计划的招牌活动项目。
不同年级所进行的这些活动旨在渐进式地发展孩子们OMG思维。除此之外,专题作业也提供学生学以致用的机会。我们通过修改后的设计思维模式来帮助学生在这些领域取得发展。
通过这些活动,学生能够激发好奇心,学会如何与他人合作、沟通并掌握自主学习的技能。这些技能为学生的终身学习与面对未来的挑战做好准备。
好奇心与知识的运用:学生学会在适当的时间提出关键问题,并且能在全面收集讯息的基础上做出决定。
合作:学生学会与他人合作,并解决合作时所面对的纠纷。
沟通:学生学会有效沟通,能够清晰及有条理地表达自己的想法。
自主学习:学生学会如何独自完成工作、时刻进行反思及自我评估
考后活动是创客计划的核心活动。其他的辅助活动包括休息时间进行的的乐高墙活动及每周四的创客活动。
“创客领袖计划”旨在培养能够为同侪举办创客活动的学生领袖。这项计划也获得在休息时间协助进行创客活动的家长义工的支持。
Nurturing Creators of Tomorrow
The programme is focused on growing the OMG (Outward, Maker and Growth) mind-set through an integrated curriculum, with CCE, ICT, Science and Mathematics as the main drivers. The signature programmes under this umbrella include Design Thinking through Project Work, Makerspace@NYPS, Lego League@NYPS, WEDO@NYPS, and Level-Structured Values in Action (VIA) programmes.
There are activities at each level that are aimed at progressively developing the OMG mind-set. In addition, Project Work provides students with the opportunity to synthesise knowledge and apply it critically as well as creatively to real-life situations. A modified Design Thinking model is used to help our students grow in these areas.
These processes enable students to ignite their curiosity, and acquire skills such as collaboration, communication and independent learning, which will in turn prepare them for lifelong learning and the challenges ahead.
Curiosity and knowledge application: Students learn to ask important questions at appropriate times and as they gather information, they are able to make informed decisions.
Collaboration: Students learn to work together and deal with conflicts.
Communication: Students learn to communicate effectively and present ideas clearly and coherently.
Independent Learning: Students learn to work independently, engaging in self-reflection and self-evaluation.
Post-Examination activities form the core of the Maker Programme. Other support activities, as part of the Maker Recess Programme, are also conducted such as Lego Wall and Maker Thursday.
A leadership development programme titled ‘Maker Leaders Programme’ grooms student leaders to conduct Maker activities for their peers. This programme is also supported by Parent-Volunteers who assist in the Maker Recess Programme.
