My son has loved technology since he was a child. He started learning robotics, programming and other related courses since he was 7 years old, and participated in various technology competitions since he was 8 years old. He is now 16 years old and has been loving and competing.
During elementary school, my son participated in the Youth Robot Carnival in the Province, participated in the International Robot Olympic Competition and the World Robot Championship held outside the province, and most of them participated in the creative competition, and won good results such as championships and first prizes.
When I was in junior high school, I mainly participated in robot competitions in the city and provinces, and physics innovation competitions, and were hosted by education bureaus at all levels, with a high value content.
When I was in high school, I mainly participated in World Robot Competition , and won the championship three times in the province, Beijing and Guangdong. It is also very valuable to participate in innovation competitions, chemistry competitions, etc. organized by the city.
Although I spent a lot of time and money on participating in the competition in the past 8 years, it is very worthwhile to give my children a good exercise. Let’s share it briefly here, and children who like technology can use it as a reference.
My son participated in several technology competitions, and the benefits he gained were surprising
My son is a relatively introverted child. I don’t want him to participate in the competition too early, but just stick to his love. Later, with the instigation of the teacher and good friends, he was allowed to participate in the competition. I found that he was competent and enjoyed it more, so I supported him to participate in the competition. The direct benefit of participating in the competition is that because of the provincial competition certificate, when preparing for the high school entrance examination, I easily obtained the qualifications of students with scientific and technological expertise, relieved psychological pressure, prepared for the high school entrance examination calmly, and successfully entered the key high school I like.
If he did not participate in the competition, he could only compete for his grades. For his son who focused on practice and did not like to practice questions, relying solely on scores, his chances of winning are not very high. With the blessing of the qualifications of students with scientific and technological talents, his winning chance is almost 100%.
Before participating in the competition, they will make preparations that are more intense than usual. Children need to output physical and mental strength in a short period of time, which is not ordinary hard work, but it is precisely such high-density and fast-paced training that allows children to review old knowledge, acquire new knowledge in a short period of time, and grow faster.
During the game, you must cooperate with your teammates, fight with others, and have the desire to win, and face huge psychological pressure. At first, you will be nervous and at a loss, but after many competitions, the child will be calm and calm, able to face various competitions and achievements calmly, and have a state of not being happy with things or sad with himself.
Children often go out to compete, broaden their horizons and have a wide range of knowledge, know that there is heaven beyond heaven and there is someone beyond human beings, and have a clearer understanding of themselves. I know that the unknown world is still very big, and only by constantly working hard and pursuing can I become stronger.
Which technology competitions are more suitable for participating in
Participating in tech competitions is a kind of training for children, but they cannot blindly participate in various competitions. Some competitions are indeed just non-governmental organizations, without any value, and children get very little training, which is not helpful for further studies. Therefore, when choosing a competition for your child, you must carefully choose.
When my son was in junior high school, I knew how to choose the competition. I hope you can know earlier.
First, consult the teacher in advance to learn about the municipal, provincial and national competitions you can participate in. The competition organized by the school must be actively participated, and it will definitely be useful for the future. If you only get municipal honors, it is at least a plus in the comprehensive evaluation. If you obtain a provincial or above certificate, it can be a helping student.
Second, participate in the competition on the national competition list announced by the Education Bureau. and robotics and programming related competitions include:
National Youth Artificial Intelligence Innovation Challenge, National Information Technology Innovation and Practice Competition for Primary and Secondary Schools , World Robot Conference Youth Electronic Information Intelligence Innovation Competition, teenager Silicon Valley —National Youth Artificial Intelligence Education Achievements Display Competition, National Youth Drone Competition, National Youth Science Popularization Innovation Experiment and Works Competition , National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, National Middle School Student Informatics Olympiad Competition, etc., just choose one or two of them to participate.
participated in the competition. Off-campus training is beneficial to supplement
Some schools with relatively strong skills will have special teachers to guide children's competitions, but many schools do not have this condition and need to find training institutions outside.
My son has been in science and technology training classes for many years and has received good training. When I selected a training class for my son, I spent a lot of energy. At that time, we had 5 training classes here, and we went to listen to them all. Later, we chose a training institution close to home and had a better concept.
suggests that you also compare multiple ways, choose training institutions suitable for your children, fully tap the potential of your children, and let your children truly gain something.
