S5 Physics - BeiDou Navigation Satellite Workshop

S5 Physics students attended the BeiDou Navigation Satellite Workshop, a hands-on experience that deepened their understanding of satellite navigation and space science.

During the workshop, students collected data from real-time BeiDou satellites and simulated how the system operates across various societal applications, including transportation and disaster relief.   Through interactive demonstrations and exciting team competitions, they actively applied physics principles and used AI image recognition to complete tasks that simulated real-world rescue operations.

The event successfully highlighted China’s remarkable advancements in aerospace technology.   It not only strengthened the students' scientific knowledge but also inspired their curiosity to explore future opportunities in Physics and STEAM fields.

At the Svalbard Museum, they gained insights into forty ethnic groups living in the Arctic and their relationship with wildlife.   They explored Ny-Ålesund, learning about Arctic exploration, mining history, and explorers like Roald Amundsen and Robert Peary.   The group also discovered the international project behind “Norge,” the first aircraft to fly over the North Pole, built collaboratively by Americans, Italians, and Norwegians.

Soon, the students will share their memorable experiences with classmates during an upcoming school assembly.
