但愿你沒錯過我們10年級學生的MYP個人項目展！

因為——

4B班，贏了！

太精彩了！

你會被孩子們的奇思妙想深深抓住：

他們的項目以樸素又簡潔的方式展示，而誰都知道，這背后有多少投入和付出——

所有項目，都圍繞學生自己真心感興趣的內容展開，自帶全情投入的Buff，讓人看得特別過癮！

歡迎參加4月12日啟明星開放日

比如——

4B班，贏了！

<分散、凝聚>

策展人：趙丹怡

1年級入學啟明星，熱愛藝術，有著獨到的審美

項目：她用6分鐘紀錄片《分散、凝聚》捕捉到貴州一個苗族和侗族混居鄉村的生活狀態。

這是一支完全由趙丹怡自己拍攝和剪輯的紀錄片。

影片的視角成熟，條理清晰，鏡頭捕捉入微——有天還沒亮時的牲口棚、逡巡覓食的小雞，也有村民們虔誠和掛滿風霜的臉龐.......

與此同時，影片并沒有被細節拉扯到失焦，而是準確地捕捉到鄉民“聚散有時”的生活狀態——雖然平時各忙各的生活，卻能在慶祝菩薩生日的時候合作做事。

在老師引導下，趙丹怡做了很多社會研究，也自學了紀錄片的剪輯技巧，最終從數不清的、一下子就占滿了電腦存儲空間的素材里，抽出來這樣一部充滿人文關懷和深思的影片。

她細膩的觀察和成熟的講故事能力，正是啟明星社會創新項目著力培養的社會敘事技巧；關于“分散、凝聚”的視角體現了她的思維深度。

4B班，贏了！

嗡嗡嗡

策展人：Bayan Changizi

CASA入學啟明星，熱愛昆蟲和大自然，是個特別SI（社會創新）的孩子！

項目：飼養蜜蜂

這是Bayan十幾年的熱愛，沖著這份執著，你也要了解一下：

Bayan小學PYP畢業展的主題就是蜜蜂，只不過那時候是研究蜜蜂， “紙上談兵”，現在是拜養蜂人為師，親手飼養。

因為熱愛，所以投入，所以不在乎日常養護蜜蜂時的日曬風吹，也不在意檢查蜂箱時被護家的蜜蜂蟄到。

展覽現場，Bayan給我們演示了怎樣打開蜂箱。“蜜蜂的生命只有30天，每次打開蜂箱，箱底都有死掉的蜜蜂。它們的壽命不長，但是為植物授粉，對人類特別重要。我做養蜂這個項目，是希望讓大家了解蜜蜂對人類的意義，喚起大家少用農藥保護昆蟲的意識。”他說。

Bayan的蜜蜂養在他創始的有機農場FROOT里。蜜蜂為農場植物傳粉、釀蜜，成為農場生態的一環，也實實在在豐富了農場項目的內容和厚度。

3月15日，Bayan將作為唯一一位學生嘉賓，前往The Sustainable Futures Collective大會演講，介紹他以FROOT農場為依托的可持續發展實踐。

為他鼓掌！

“發燒”自行車

策展人：徐恩淏（Nigel Xu）

入學艾毅幼兒園，1年級升入啟明星，喜歡理工科，熱愛登山。

項目：徐恩淏熱愛騎行，至今已經超過1萬公里，而且通過騎行來完成登山的體能訓練。他覺得，應該有一輛最適合自己的自行車，于是，就動手組裝了一輛！

在個人項目展覽現場，Nigel展示自己的自行車，還騎了好幾圈，挺絲滑的。

“這輛自行車已經上過路了。要是媽媽同意，我完全可以騎著來上學，沒問題的！”Nigel很自信。

支撐這份自信的是長達4個月逢山開路、遇水搭橋的韌性和付出。

要知道，中國的自行車生產已經產業化，動手DIY自行車可謂發燒級別，要面對好多挑戰！比如，有些零件國內根本沒有，Nigel只好從歐洲和美國購買；還有完成焊接的工作，他不能在北京市內完成，而必須到郊區找個工廠廠房；就是焊接工作本身也不是個容易的工作，一不小心就焊穿了，或者焊了半天，還是接不上......

憑著一腔熱愛和早在去年登上玉珠峰時就展現出來的韌性，Nigel在師傅幫助下完成了車架焊接，自己編了輪組，調適好剎車和變速——從圖紙到完成實物，用時4個月組完成了“Nigel版”自行車。

個人項目就是萬花筒，折射出孩子們斑斕的興趣和我們無法預測的潛力和技能。個人項目協調員Luke Jones老師的評價是：

個人項目是所有10年級學生學習和成長的絕佳機會。通過個人項目，他們以非凡的方式探索并表達自己豐富的熱愛和興趣。能夠指導他們完成這段重要的學習旅程，我深感幸運。同學們，做得好！

Hope you didn’t miss our tenth grade students’ MYP Personal Project Exhibition!

Because—

4B班，贏了！

It was amazing!

The students introduced their projects in a calm and modest manner, but everyone knew how much dedication and effort had gone into them.

Every project stemmed from something the student was genuinely passionate about, making their engagement natural and wholehearted. It was truly inspiring to witness!

Welcome to attend

Dispersion

& Aggregation

Curator:Olive Zhao
A Daystar Academy student since first grade, Olive has a deep love for art and a unique aesthetic vision.

Project:Dispersion and Aggregation– a 6-minute documentary capturing the way of life in a village in Guizhou, where Miao and Dong ethnic groups coexist.

This project is truly impressive—a documentary filmed and edited entirely by Olive herself.

The film’s cinematography is incredibly detailed, capturing everything from the dimly lit barns before dawn and wandering chickens searching for food, to the villagers’ weathered yet devout faces.

At the same time, the film remains sharply focused, documenting how the villagers go about their separate daily lives but come together to collaborate in celebration of the Bodhisattva’s birthday. This effectively conveys Olive’s reflections on the theme of “dispersion and aggregation.”

To create this film, Olive conducted extensive social research and taught herself documentary editing techniques. She sifted through an overwhelming amount of footage that quickly filled up her storage, ultimately crafting a deeply thoughtful and humanistic piece.

Her keen observations and storytelling abilities are exactly what Daystar Academy’s Social Innovation program aims to nurture—the narrative skills to reflect on society. The perspective of Dispersion and Aggregation showcases Olive’s humanistic depth and social consciousness.

Buzzing Bees

Curator:Bayan Changizi
A Daystar Academy student since CASA, Bayan loves insects and nature and is an exceptionally SI (Social Innovation) type of student!

Project:Beekeeping

This has been Bayan’s passion for more than ten years. That dedication alone makes it worth seeing.

In elementary school, Bayan’s PYP exhibition project was also about bees. That project, however, was theoretical only: a research paper. As part of this Personal Project, Bayan apprenticed with a beekeeper and is raising bees himself.

Bayan’s passion for this topic fuels his commitment. He is not bothered by the scorching sun or the occasional sting from protective bees when he checks the hive.

At the exhibition, Bayan demonstrated how to open a beehive: "A bee’s lifespan is only 30 days. Every time I open the hive, I see dead bees at the bottom. Their lives are short, but they play a crucial role in pollinating plants and benefiting humanity. Through this project, I want to raise awareness about the importance of bees and encourage people to use fewer pesticides to protect insects."

Bayan’s bees live on the organic farm he founded,FROOT, where they pollinate plants and produce honey, integrating into the farm’s ecosystem and enriching its content and depth.

On March 15, Bayan will be the only student speaker atThe Sustainable Futures Collective,where he will discuss his sustainable development practices through FROOT.

Let’s cheer him on!

Building My Own Bike!

Curator:Nigel Xu

A Daystar Academy student since first grade, and Ivy Academy kindergarten alum, Nigel loves science and mountaineering.

Project:Nigel’s love of cycling gave him the idea he should have a custom designed bike; so he built one himself!

Nigel always has his own way of doing things. Last fall, at 15 years old, he organized and successfully climbed Yuzhu Peak, the highest point in the eastern Kunlun Mountains.

For his Personal Project, he surprised everyone again by constructing his own bicycle, and even taking it for several test rides at the exhibition.

In China, bicycle production is highly industrialized, so DIY assembly is an advanced-level challenge that comes with many obstacles. For example, some essential parts were not available in China and had to be imported from Europe or the U.S. Additionally, welding is not permitted within Beijing city limits, so he had to travel to the outskirts of town to find a factory.

The welding process itself also was not easy: "If you're not careful, you'll burn through the metal, or spend hours welding, only to find the parts still won’t connect properly," Nigel said.

With a burning passion and the same resilience that helped him conquer Yuzhu Peak, Nigel welded his own frame, built the wheel hubs, adjusted the brakes and gears, and, after four months, turned his blueprints into a fully functional “Nigel Edition” bike.

The Personal Project is like a kaleidoscope, reflecting students’ diverse interests and their unpredictable yet incredible potential and skills. No wonder Personal Project Coordinator Mr. Luke Jones said:

The Personal Project is an incredible opportunity for all tenth grade students to learn and grow. Through their projects, they have explored and expressed their passions in extraordinary ways. It has been my honor to guide them through this significant stage of their learning journey. Well done, MYP Class of 2025!
