上海虹桥国际外籍人员子女学校ACSL 美国计算机科学联赛硕果累累

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

　　这个国家每个人都应该学会计算机编程......因为它能教会你如何思考。

　　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.

　　2020-2021 年美国计算机科学联赛预赛(American Computer Science League)成绩在近期公布，此次比赛中国赛区来自 539 所重点中小学和国际学校的将近 1500 名同学参赛，其中 988 名优秀选手（小学、初级、中级、高级）进入决赛第二轮。

　　We are proud of the extraordinary performance of our school, with 11 HQIS students who are now qualified for the finals.

About the American Computer Science League

关于美国计算机科学联赛

　　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.

　　美国计算机科学联赛起源于美国硅谷，拥有 40 年的历史，是美国历史悠久的中小学生计算机编程赛事之一。该比赛同时获得了美国国家中学校长联盟 NASSP 与美国计算机科学教师协会的官方认证和推荐，同时获得了如谷歌、Adobe、No Starch Press、O'Reilly Media、Pearson、Pragmatic Bookshelf、and Wolfram 等著名高科技和教育企业的支持。

　　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.

　　此次竞赛我校学生的优秀表现得益于HQIS课程体系上的优势，本学期HQIS引入了世界级的编程团队，并聘请了金牌教练陈琛博士作为学校STEAM项目顾问.

　　编程作为一门必修课融入到了日常课程中，学生们不仅可以尽早地体验编程课程，还可以在世界编程竞赛中大展身手，能在这么短的时间内参加竞赛并且获得不俗的成绩，师生们的努力有目共睹。

　　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，很荣幸可以为大家带来一则好消息，我们学校今年参加ACSL比赛的同学中有78%成功晋级了决赛。我对所有同学们和相关授课老师们的杰出表现感到非常自豪，因为我相信，每一位同学都为了这个比赛付出了相当多的努力，同时我希望你们保持这股干劲到决赛，为自己为学校争取更多的荣誉。另外，也要感谢指导老师Mr. Frank的不懈付出和耐心指导，你的帮助让孩子们得以走得更远。

　　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!

　　非常高兴得知我们大部分参赛学生都成功晋级了决赛，作为指导老师我只想说，你们都太棒了！当然了，现在还不能松懈，第二轮比赛将于2月20日开始，大家一定要继续加油，争取保持这样好的势头，获得更好的成绩。这次没有晋级的同学也不必灰心气馁，咱们重在参与，明年继续努力！

　　在HQIS，孩子们在9岁时就开始学习编写编码命令、调试和解密代码行。这门课的价值主要在于培养孩子逻辑思考和解决问题的能力，并锻炼他们的耐心。

　　有些孩子本来就喜欢在纸上或iPad上画图形，现在把图形设计通过编程的方式转换到了电脑屏幕上，原先他们做数学题可能是口算计算器，现在我们教他们通过编程让计算机来做重复或复杂的数学题。无论课堂案例还是课后作业学校采用的都是Prolem-based Learning，经过一段时间的系统学习，不管学生学习进度快慢，最终都会看到进步和成果。

　　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!

世界级的编程竞赛不仅是

学生背景提升和能力展示的绝佳机会，

也是直通哈佛、麻省理工等

世界顶尖大学的敲门砖。

再次祝贺本次比赛晋级的同学，

期待未来有越来越多的HQIS学生

在世界级的编程舞台上取得佳绩！
