一、开幕：一场持续两个月的“科学探险”
在这短暂的两个月里，我们一起学习、探索、实践，收获了丰硕的成果，让我们一起通过一段短片，回顾这段不设限的探索之旅。
这场以“像科学家一样地观察、思考和解决问题”为主题的活动，早已超越了单纯的作品评选，成为一次完整的探究式学习历程。
二、授奖：每个想法都值得被看见
1. 参与奖：当创新融入日常课堂
今年的创新节首次尝试将创新理念系统性地融入UOI课程。二年级的“Materials”（材料）单元与四年级的“Design”（设计）单元，成为创新思维的实践土壤。非常感谢二年级和四年级的老师和学生在单元探究中的付出，每位参与学生都将获得一份创新纪念品。
此外，那些勇敢走上“WFLTV”校园电视台、分享自己对创新理解的小小演讲者们，同样收获了这份认可。创新不仅是做出一个产品，更是敢于表达、乐于分享。
2. Lifestyle Choices & Participation奖：IB理念的生动践行
在评选过程中，我们发现学生们的作品不仅着眼于科技，更在践行IB学习者培养目标——懂得关爱、敢于冒险、积极探究。PYP协调员Vanessa上台揭晓了这两个特别奖项的获得者。获奖作品关注环保、关怀特殊人群、优化生活细节，每一件都是孩子们对社会需求的敏锐洞察与温暖回应。
3. 奇思妙想校长奖：最高荣誉的诞生
最激动人心的时刻到来。国际部校长Jackie女士登台，揭晓本届创新节的最高荣誉——“奇思妙想校长奖”。这些作品体现了对身边事物的细心观察，他们的创意基于现有科技可实现，大部分过程由学生独立完成。最终，三件作品从众多创意中脱颖而出，它们不仅是解决方案，更是孩子们科学思维与人文关怀的结晶。
三、彩蛋：与“李白”对话，每个人都能拥有AI伙伴
典礼的高潮来自一个“彩蛋”环节。今年，我们请到了一位特殊的嘉宾：大屏幕上出现了一位身着古装、吟诗作对的“诗人”，这正是基于机器学习技术生成的AI智能体——豆包“李白”。“李白”不仅对答如流，还能根据学生的提问即兴赋诗。现场气氛被推向高潮，孩子们争相举手，与这位“穿越”而来的诗人互动。
“通过这样的体验，我们希望孩子们理解，”活动负责人Tom老师在环节后总结，“人工智能不仅是工具，更是可以对话、协作的伙伴。在未来，每个人都能拥有属于自己的AI助手，它将助力我们更好地学习与创造。”
四、结束语：今天的奇思妙想，明天的改变世界
创新是一个民族进步的灵魂，是一个国家兴旺发达的不竭动力。在过去的两个月里，孩子们用双眼观察细节，用双手搭建原型，用大脑追问本质，用心感受需求。他们证明了——创新不是天才的专利，而是每个孩子与生俱来的能力。世外小学国际部将继续搭建更广阔的舞台，点燃每一双好奇的眼睛，守护每一个天马行空的想象。我们深信：今天在孩童心中种下的奇思妙想，终将在未来成长为改变世界的力量。
From Observing with the Five Senses to AI “Li Bai”

I. A Two-Month “Scientific Expedition”
Over the past two months, students learned, explored, and created together, achieving a wide range of meaningful outcomes. Through a short video, we revisited this journey of open-ended exploration. (Video 1)
Centered on the theme "Observing, Thinking, and Solving Problems Like a Scientist", this event went far beyond a simple competition of finished products. Instead, it became a complete inquiry-based learning journey, where students experienced the full process of questioning, investigating, designing, and reflecting.
II. Awards: Every Idea Deserves to Be Seen
1. Participation Award: When Innovation Becomes Part of Everyday Learning
This
year’s Innovation Festival marked the first time that innovative thinking
was systematically integrated into our Units of Inquiry.
The Year 2 “Material” unit and the Year 4 “Design
Thinking” unit became fertile ground for developing creativity
and problem-solving skills.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the teachers and students of both grades for their dedication throughout the inquiry process. Every participating student received an innovation-themed commemorative gift.
In addition, students who bravely stepped onto the WFL campus TV station to share their understanding of innovation were also recognized. Innovation is not only about creating products—it is also about having the courage to express ideas and the willingness to share learning.
2. Lifestyle Choices & Participation Award: Living the IB Philosophy
During the selection process, we observed that student projects went beyond technological solutions and truly embodied the IB learner profile—showing care, curiosity, and a willingness to take risks.
Our PYP Coordinator, Vanessa, announced the winners of these two special awards. The awarded projects addressed themes such as environmental protection, care for people with special needs, and improvements to everyday life. Each project reflected students’ keen awareness of real-world needs and their thoughtful, compassionate responses.
3. The Creative Principal Award: The Highest Honor
The most exciting moment of the ceremony arrived as Ms. Jackie, Principal of WFLPSID, took the stage to announce the highest honor of this year's Innovation Festival—the Creative Principal Award.
These
winning projects demonstrated careful observation of everyday life. Their ideas
were grounded in existing technology and were largely developed independently
by students. Ultimately, three outstanding projects stood out among many
creative submissions. They were not only practical solutions, but also powerful
expressions of scientific thinking combined with human-centered
care.

III.Surprise Highlight: A Conversation with “Li Bai” — Everyone Can Have an AI Partner
The ceremony reached its peak with a special surprise. A guest appeared on the big screen—a poet in traditional attire reciting verses with elegance. This was AI “Li Bai,” a machine-learning–based intelligent agent.
AI
“Li Bai” responded fluently to students’ questions and even improvised poetry
on the spot based on student's questions. The atmosphere reached its peak as
students eagerly raised their hands to interact with this “time-traveling”
poet.
After the session, event coordinator Mr. Tom shared:
"Through this experience, we hope students understand that artificial intelligence is not just a tool, but a partner for dialogue and collaboration. In the future, everyone may have their own AI assistant to support learning and creativity.”
IV.Today's Ideas, Tomorrow's World
Innovation is the soul of a nation’s progress and an inexhaustible driving force behind a country’s prosperity. Over these past two months, students observed details with their eyes, built prototypes with their hands, questioned ideas with their minds, and responded to needs with their hearts.
They have proven that innovation is not reserved for a few gifted individuals—it is an innate ability within every child.
WFLPSID will continue to provide broader platforms, spark curiosity, and protect bold and imaginative ideas. We firmly believe that the creative ideas planted in children’s hearts today will one day grow into forces capable of changing the world.
