科探專題研習週（第四天）

STEAM Week (Day 4)

屢敗屢試 精益求精

Persistent attempts though having setbacks, striving for the best

「他山之石，可以攻玉。」

《詩經．小雅．鶴鳴》

‘Stones from other hills may serve to polish the gem.’

The book of odes and hymns: Minor odes of the kingdom: The crane cries

以上中華經典名句的意思為「取他山的堅硬石頭，來琢磨玉石」，引申為我們可以借取別人的長處，彌補自己的不足。

The meaning of the aforementioned Chinese classic quote is "Take the hard stones from other mountains to carve jade," which implies that we can learn from others' strengths to make up for our own shortcomings.

今天，同學需要跟同儕協作，根據昨天的構思，利用環保物料，着手製作不同的產品，包括自製玩具、再造紙產品、雨傘除水器、濾水器、智能家電及太陽能環保車。在實驗過程中，同學需要就實驗前的假設進行驗證，再根據測試結果，對產品進行改良。過程中，同學必然經歷挫敗，正因着這些經歷，同學才能明白自己的不足，從中學會接納自己，學會欣賞和尊重他人。

Today, students need to collaborate with their peers and use environmentally friendly materials to start making different products based on yesterday's ideas. These products include homemade toys, recycled paper products, umbrella water removers, water filters, smart home appliances, and solar-powered eco-friendly vehicles. During the experimentation process, students need to verify their hypotheses before conducting the experiments and make improvements to the products based on the test results. Throughout this process, students are bound to experience setbacks. It is through these experiences that students can understand their shortcomings and learn to accept themselves, appreciate, and respect others.
