本周末要开始Science Fair 和Science Bowl的训练课了。最近经常有父母打电话来问他们的差别。

以下是我们的Coach，James Ma的解释：

Science Bowl is first and foremost a team competition, and is generally coordinated through your school. It is open to both middle school and high school students, and tests students’ knowledge of various subjects, including math, physics, biology and chemistry. Students who excel in Science Bowl are quick thinkers who have great curiosity for science. This course aims to establish fundamental skills for students to use which are applicable not only towards Science Bowl but also in various other settings. These include leadership, teamwork, time management, and strong study habits. 

Science Fair is a much more individual competition, and is not always coordinated through your school. While projects can be done in small groups, they are most commonly done by a single student. Projects can be in almost any STEM field, or a combination of multiple. Students conduct original scientific research, designing and performing experiments, interpreting results, and formulating conclusions. However, research is only one portion of this competition, as Science Fair generally requires students to present and communicate the importance of their work. As such, students who excel in Science Fair are highly inquisitive, passionate, and hardworking. This course will teach students the skills needed to succeed at Science Fair, which are highly valuable in other areas as well. These include research, experimental design, data analysis, and presentation skills. 

It is entirely possible for students to take on both competitions at once. It is often seen that the most successful students are able to excel in both Science Bowl and Science Fair. Both of these competitions have a steep learning curve, and thus it is crucially important to begin early. As a result, these courses are designed for middle school students, in order to nurture their growth and give them tools for success.

     邹老师去年11月开始在春晖教育执教AMC 10/12，他的学生成绩斐然,得到了家长和同学们100%的称赞。不仅有9年级的学生一年内达到了USA(J)MO的水平，不少学生达到AIME。有一位学生被邀请进入MOSP，全美仅50名被邀请参加的奥林匹克数学竞赛训练营。 Continue reading →

1. Colleges: Many top schools like MIT, Caltech, and Yale ask for scores.
2. Job Interviews: Many top companies ask math questions as a test of number sense and basic skills.
3. Creative problem solving: Math competitions are one of the only tools that allow students to practice ways of solving complex “unbreakable” problems and fosters these skills for real world work.

Springlight 2014 AIME Course

1. Improve student scores by working on both fundamental theorems and ideas as well as problem solving strategies.
2. Foster creative problem solving strategies
3. Make the USA(J)MO!!!

• USAMO 2014 (top 266 in nation)
• USAJMO 2013 (top 231 9th and 10th graders in nation)
• AIME 2011-2014 top score of 11 (354th in nation by score)
• USAPHO silver 2014
• BAMO 2nd place 2011 HM 2012
