Then on Saturday October 28th, we will have a full day of activates planned for our students, and these activities will also be open to the public as well. We will start with some time for students to finish up their projects, set up their exhibition booth, and practice their presentations. This will then be followed by a formal science fair where members of the public will be invited to see the students’ projects. Local media, both newspaper and television studios, have also been invited to come as well. The science fair will then be followed by a community art, a unique cultural arts and crafts activity that will be held by Mrs. Salpi. During this activity, the students are encouraged to invite a sibling, parent, or grandparent with them to spend the afternoon together at the village. Ms. Ma and Ms. Candeleria have prepared a guided museum tour for all our guests. Both events will be free to the public. Finally, during our awards ceremony, we will offer 24 students (12 in each group) a guaranteed and fully paid for scholarships for our next STEM outreach program.
然后，在10月28日星期六，我们将为我们的学生计划一整天的活动，这些活动也将对公众开放。首先，我们会给学生一些时间来完成他们的项目，设置他们的展台，并练习他们的演讲。随后将举行一场正式的科学展览，届时公众将被邀请参观学生的项目。当地媒体，包括报纸和电视台，也被邀请来参加。科学展览之后是社区艺术，这是一项独特的文化艺术和手工艺活动，将由萨尔皮夫人举办。在这个活动中，鼓励学生邀请兄弟姐妹、父母或祖父母与他们一起在村里度过一个下午。马女士和Candeleria女士为所有的客人准备一个博物馆导览之旅。这两项活动都将免费向公众开放。最后，在我们的颁奖典礼上，我们将为我们的下一个STEM拓展项目提供24名学生(每组12名)担保和全额奖学金。

Lesson 1: Introduction to Bridge Design & Begin Mini Bridge Project (side 1)
《第一课:桥梁设计入门并开始小桥项目(第1面)》
In this lesson, students will learn some basic vocabulary and concepts related to the design of a standard bridge. They will then build a “mini bridge” to help them understand how planner supports are created and assembled to form a 3-dimensional structure.
本节课，学生将学习一些与标准桥梁设计相关的基本词汇和概念。然后，他们将建造一座“迷你桥梁”，以帮助他们了解如何创建和组装规划师支撑以形成三维结构。
Lesson 2: Complete the Mini Bridge Project (Side 2, Top, and Bottom)
《第二课:完成迷你桥项目(第2面，顶部和底部)》
Continuing from the previous lesson, students will complete the remaining sides of their “mini-bridge” and will assemble all the components to create a 3-dimensional structure.
继续从上一课，学生将完成他们的“迷你桥”的其余方面，并将组装所有的组件来创建一个三维结构。
Lesson 3: Introduction to Truss Design
《第三课:桁架设计入门》
With a basic understanding of bridge design, students will be introduced to different trusses.
在对桥梁设计有了基本的了解后，学生将了解不同的桁架。
Lesson 4: Original Bridge Design
《第四课:原始桥梁设计》
With a basic understanding of different design concepts, students will need to evaluate the pros and cons of each design concept as they create their own original bridge design. These designs may be based on existing designs or may combine different aspects of multiple standard truss designs to create an entirely new design that could be built and tested in the real world.
有了对不同设计概念的基本了解，学生将需要评估每个设计概念的利弊，因为他们创建了自己的原创桥梁设计。这些设计可以基于现有的设计，也可以结合多个标准桁架设计的不同方面来创建一个全新的设计，可以在现实世界中建造和测试。
Lesson 5: Mathematical Concepts in Bridge Design
《第五课:桥梁设计中的数学概念》
In this lesson, students will learn about different mathematical concepts related to a bridge’s design and structure. NOTE: Mathematical concepts and vocabulary are based on a standard grade 8 math curriculum.
在这节课中，学生将学习与桥梁设计和结构相关的不同数学概念。注:数学概念和词汇是基于标准的8年级数学课程。
Lesson 6: Bridge Design Peer Review
《第六课:桥梁设计同行评审》
Now that each student has their own original bridge design, they will begin a formal peer review process where they will evaluate the pros and cons of other students design concepts and compare those ideas against their own designs.
现在每个学生都有了自己的原创桥梁设计，他们将开始一个正式的同行评审过程，在这个过程中，他们将评估其他学生设计概念的优缺点，并将这些想法与自己的设计进行比较。
Lesson 7: Talent Scouting & Bridge Redesign
《第七课:寻找人才和重新设计桥梁》
Just like in the real world, companies will try to recruit the most talented individuals. In this lesson students will explore the ethical issues related to talent scouting/poaching and will have the ability to recruit new team members to their group for the final project. Once each group has settled on their final team (which could be the original 2 members, or a new team of 3), each group will be begin the process of finalizing an original bridge design that their group will build for the final project.
就像在现实世界中一样，公司会努力招聘最有才华的人。在这节课中，学生将探讨与人才挖掘/挖角相关的道德问题，并将有能力为他们的小组招募新的团队成员。一旦每个小组确定了他们的最终团队(可以是原来的2名成员，也可以是一个新的3人团队)，每个小组将开始最终确定他们的小组将为最终项目建造的原始桥梁设计的过程。
Lesson 8: Building the New Bridge (Side 1)
《第八课:建造新桥(第一面)》
Each group will begin the process of building their new original bridge design and should have 1 side completed by the end of class.
每个小组将开始建造他们新的原创桥梁设计，并在课程结束前完成其中一面。
Lesson 9: Building the New Bridge (Side 2)
《第九课:建造新桥(侧面二)》
Continuing with the original bridge design, each group should complete the second side of their bridge.
继续原来的桥梁设计，每组应完成他们的桥的第二面。
Lesson 10: Building the New Bridge (Top, Bottom, and Testing)
《第十课:建立新桥(顶部，底部和测试)》
By the end of this lesson each group should have completed the top and bottom of their bridges, assembled the 4 sections, and tested their bridge to see if it is sturdy enough to support the minimum load requirements.
在本课结束时，每个小组都应该完成桥的顶部和底部，组装4个部分，并测试他们的桥，看看它是否足够坚固，以支持最低负载要求。
