我们不要求孩子在STEAM课结束后制作出多么无可挑剔的“完美”作品，而应该是“独特”的。我们希望孩子不断被激发、被挑战，去享受思考和创造的过程。
——小学部STEAM课程负责人严老师
在一年级的STEAM课堂上，老师正在和小朋友探讨大自然。
老师通过视频，新闻，图片等形式向同学们讲解我们的世界正面临的问题，例如气候变暖，空气污染等。在了解了大致布景知识之后，老师要求孩子们开动脑筋，用身边的材料来进行创作。
题目是：在你眼中，未来城市是什么样子的呢？
有的用彩色的吸管拼凑出了一栋五彩小屋：我觉得未来城市一定是彩色的。
有的在墙面上安上了一朵太阳花：未来城市一定充满阳光。
寺庙，清真寺，巴黎铁塔站成一排，不管在世界的哪一个角落，我们都要心系气候变暖，因为这是我们大家的未来城市。
在这些色彩缤纷、外形奇特的作品中，你可以看到这些孩子对未来城市的个性思考。
STEAM课程在诺德安达，绝不是“浮在天上”的概念。我们的老师坚持将“跨学科”的理念融进课堂的每一个细节。
“靠自己。”
从课题选定的那一刻起，同学们就要“靠自己”了。从做调查，写计划，到找材料，动手制作，这些都要孩子们自己去完成。阅读，信息归纳，动手能力，工程技术，艺术设计，这些都被融合进了我们的STEAM课堂。
“为什么？”
我们老师执着于用提问的形式去激发学生的思考能力。每个环节，老师都在不停地问：你为什么要用双面胶还不用单面胶？你为什么不用硬纸板去给房子加固？你为什么要用珍珠棉？
我们为什么问？
因为一个个犀利的问题，能启发学生去思考，去做到更好。
“不光要会回答问题，也要会提问。”
在最后的作品展示环节，同学们不但需要向别人介绍自己的作品，也要练就一双慧眼，从别人的作品中找到问题并提问。回答问题并不稀奇，会提问才是批判性思维的开始。
在诺德安达的STEAM课堂，孩子接受到的是启发式教学，我们鼓励学生自己去寻找答案，而非被动的接受指导。不靠老师“教”，而靠自己“想”。
凡事贵在思考，经过自己一步步思考并设计出来的作品，最贵重的是背后的经验和能力的提升。

From Science, Technology to Art, How does STEAM Work at NACIS?
We ask our students to make “Unique” works instead of "perfect" works after STEAM class. We constantly inspire and challenge them to enjoy the process of thinking and creating.
-- Mr. Yan, Primary STEAM Coordinator
In the Grade 1 STEAM class, the teacher was discussing nature with students.
Through videos, news and pictures, the teacher explained the problems that we are facing in current world, such as climate change and air pollution, etc.
After learning the general background knowledge, the teacher asked the students to think and create with the materials around them.
The title: in your eyes, what will the future city look like?
Some students used colorful straws to put together a colorful house and they thought the future city must be colorful.
Other students installed a sunflower on the wall, and they thought the future city must be full of sunshine.
Temples, mosques and Eiffel towers stood in a line. Wherever we are in the world, we have to be concerned about climate change, because this is the future city for all of us.
In these colorful and odd-looking works, you can see students' reflections on the future city.
The STEAM course at NACIS is by no means a concept “floating in the sky". Our teachers insist on incorporating the "transdisciplinary" concept into every detail.
"On Your Own."
From the moment the topic is selected, the students will "rely on themselves". From doing research, writing plans, finding materials to creating works, they have to do everything by themselves.
Reading, information summarization, hands-on skills, engineering techniques, and art design are all integrated into our STEAM class.
"Why?”
Our teachers are persistent in stimulating students' thinking ability by asking questions. The teachers kept asking in every step. For example, why do you want to use double-sided tape instead of single-sided tape? Why don't you reinforce the house with cardboard? Why do you use pearl cotton?
Why do we ask? Because a sharp question can inspire students to think and do better.
"Learn to Ask and Answer Questions."
In the final work show, students not only need introduce their own works to others, but also find and ask questions from other students’ works. It's not uncommon to answer questions. However, critical thinking begins when you ask them.
In STEAM class at NACIS, we offer our students the inspiring education. We encourage them to find out answers for themselves instead of passively receiving instruction. Our students rely on “thinking” by themselves instead of being “taught” by teachers.
It is important to think and design step by step, while the most valuable is the improvement of their experiences and abilities during the process.
