我们诚挚地邀请您出席将于4月16日（周一）14:00-17:00在成都嘉德美润儿童中心（天府三街大有智慧广场4栋2单元）举办的“STEAM教育圆桌讨论会”。签到将于13:45开始。

With rapid changes taking place in modern technology, whether our education system is well prepared to nurture skilful and innovative scientists, engineers, and creative talents is a huge issue for China’s national competitiveness. STEAM integrates subjects including Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics, and is becoming more important globally. STEAM is a teaching approach that lets students take thoughtful risks, and engage in experimental learning and problem-solving.

在科技日新月异的时代，教育是否做好了培养具有高素质、创新型的科学家、工程师和具有创造力的员工的准备，将影响国家竞争力。在此背景下，STEAM教育应运而生。STEAM意即Science科学，Technology技术，Engineering工程，Arts艺术和Mathematics数学。具体来说，STEAM教育更提倡的是一种新的教学方式：让学生们自己动手完成他们感兴趣的、并且和生活相关的项目，从过程中运用冒险精神、实验能力和创意解决问题的能力。

In recent years, STEAM has become an important issue in China. However, the implementation of STEAM education has also witnessed some problems; for example, the majority of STEAM curriculums are only available in private education institutions. While some schools have STEAM classes, this approach has not been integrated into a course syllabus or regular teaching. The lack of clear understanding of the concept and related studies has also made STEAM practices difficult to integrate and evaluate in China.

近年来，STEAM教育在我国已成为热门词汇。然而，在这一风尚的背后也存在一些问题。大量的STEAM教学实践仍局限在创客教育、非正式教育中，即便走进中小学校园，也未能进入常态的课程与教学；对STEAM概念的理解不清、理论研究缺乏，在实践中存在盲目照搬、难成体系、难以评估的现象。

The STEAM Education Roundtable in Chengdu is organised by CBBC and will create a platform for UK and Chinese education experts, leaders from Chinese and international schools, as well as representatives from course development companies, to share and discuss insights and experiences in STEAM education in southwest China and beyond.

本次STEAM教育圆桌讨论会”由英中贸易协会主办，邀请英国教育领域专家、成都市中小学校及幼儿园领导、课程研发机构代表，交流STEAM教育在中英两国的实践经验、面临困难，并讨论发展方向及合作前景。

Speakers演讲嘉宾

Dr Nicole Li

Dr Juerong (Nicole) Li, Founder of Karltons Education, holds a doctorate degree in Physics from the University of Surrey, UK. She is an active quantum physicist and her research is mainly focused on realising Quantum Computers. Dr Li also works as a project manager and manages a GBP 10 million EPSRC funded research project. She has had many scientific papers published in high impact-factor journals, including Nature. Her educational background and an understanding of both the Chinese and UK education systems motivated her to establish Karlton Education which aims to provide the latest technological research information to young children. Dr Li hopes that she can be a role model to women and girls who are looking to pursue careers in STEM.
