MIT is a world leader in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM) learning. During their visit, our students will have the opportunity to engage in active learning in these fields with peers from twenty five other Nord Anglia schools around the world. They will attend workshops and participate in activities led by MIT professors, students and alumni.
Interested students participated in a ‘hacking’ competition to help us decide which four students to select for this amazing opportunity. MIT has a culture of hacking on their campus. These hacks are fun practical jokes that follow the hacker ethic – a hack must:
When students are accepted into MIT they are sent their acceptance letter in a paper tube and asked to ‘hack the tube’.
To apply for one of the four spaces on the trip, we asked our students to hack a paper tube. We were truly blown away by the results – see the pictures of the creative and innovative hacks in the photo gallery!
We are delighted to announce that the four students who will represent NAIS Pudong at MIT in 2017 are:
We look forward to sharing all of the details of their trip with you!
As part of our commitment to our students as they approach some key decision-making points in their education journey, we have collaborated with some industry experts who will come into our school and deliver some inspirational and incredibly useful presentations.
Nord Anglia International School Pudong (NAIS Pudong) prides itself on offering a comprehensive Physical Education program and a variety of competitive sports teams to cater to the diverse interests and abilities of its students. The Physical Education (PE) curriculum at our school is designed to promote physical fitness, skill development, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for sports and healthy living. From Early Years through to Key Stage 5 (ages 2 to 18), students engage in a wide range of activities that cater to them specifically, regardless of age, gender or ability.
It’s important to start this piece by recognising the complexity of bullying. Blanket definitions are probably unhelpful as the grey area is so undefined. What’s the harm in ‘banter’? When does light-hearted teasing go too far? What counts as deliberate exclusion?
