为每一位勇敢追梦、全力以赴的孩子喝彩！科学之路，未来可期。曼校学子，继续闪耀吧！

Emilia（4年级英文组队员）

我很喜欢科学灵感集市和团队秀。队服上的图案是我们自己设计的。明年我们的科学展板一定会做得更好。车轮战的题目挺难的，但我相信我们明年会发挥得更好。

Johnny（4年级英文组队员）

我看到了机械狗的表演，它会翻跟头、会站起来，还会听指令做动作。特别精彩！

Jefferson（5年级英文组队员）

活动现场的机械狗让我印象很深，下次我们一定要努力把迷你挑战的机械装置组装完成。对了，主办方这次准备的午餐挺丰富的，我很喜欢。

Lucas（5年级英文组队员）

这次个人赛我发挥得还不错，明年我要争取拿金奖！

Olivia（5年级中文组队员）

今年迷你挑战的机械臂拼搭没完成，有点遗憾，明年一定会完成。

Jerry（6年级中文组队员）

我很喜欢这次的活动。我当了开幕式的旗手，挥舞学校的校旗。虽然很紧张，但更多的是自豪。我会一直记得这一次的经历！

Ms. Rose Wang（带队老师）：这趟科学挑战之旅，毫无疑问是一次圆满而难忘的经历。孩子们不仅开阔了眼界，更真正走出了课堂，站上了更大的舞台，去勇敢挑战、突破自我。我们看到他们收获佳绩时的喜悦，也感受到他们面对强手时的从容与韧劲。

当然，我们也清醒地看到了与全国各地优秀选手之间的差距——这既是激励，也是方向。接下来，我们会认真总结经验，继续踏踏实实地训练，争取来年再上新台阶。为孩子们骄傲，也更期待下一次的闪耀出发！

1^st May | Arrival & Check-in

The participating students and their lead teacher arrived in Shanghai one after another and headed to the competition venue – the Shanghai Lingang Xinchen International Conference Center – to complete check-in and receive event materials such as the program guide and access passes, officially beginning their science journey.

2^nd May | Opening · Science Bazaar · Treasure Hunt

Morning: Opening Ceremony & Icebreaker Games

During the opening ceremony, the school flag presentation was a highlight – our flag bearer, Jerry, stood tall and proud as the MIS flag flew high above the main venue of the Science All-Star Carnival. In the icebreaker games that followed, the children quickly grew closer through fun team-building activities, and their team spirit was instantly boosted.

Afternoon: Science Bazaar

Each team had to create a poster board based on the year's announced theme, fully showcasing their group's solutions and ideas. After completing the board, the students delivered a four-minute science presentation on-site to judges and other attendees. This session tested not only their knowledge, but also their communication and collaboration skills.

Evening: Treasure Hunt

Multiple mysterious science challenge points were scattered around the venue. Set in cutting-edge scenarios such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), space exploration, and biotech, the children had to use their knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and general science to solve puzzles. Each successfully completed challenge awarded them an "Energy Gem." After collecting a specified number of gems, they could enter a raffle to win exclusive prizes.

3^rd May | Guts Round · Individual Finals · Team Show

Morning: Team Event –All-Star Science Guts Round

The Guts round consisted of 9 sets of questions, each containing 4 sub-questions covering multiple disciplines including general science, chemistry, physics, biology, and computer science. Team members had to work together to tackle each set of challenges. Only after completing one set could they quickly receive the next – the whole process resembled a relay race, requiring every member to maintain a high level of focus and coordination. Throughout the competition, the leaderboard was updated in real time. To achieve better rankings, the children raced against the clock, thinking fast and solving problems efficiently.

Scientist Theater

Remember those agile robots that amazed audiences at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala? This time, the very same smart robotic dogs made a special appearance at the Scientist Theater of the Science All-Star Carnival, delivering a spectacular performance for tomorrow's young scientists. Professional engineers provided an in-depth look at the history and technology behind the robotic dogs, and there were also various interactive experiences that left the children thrilled.

Afternoon: International Science Bee National Finals – Individual Competition

This was an individual buzzer-based points race. Each participant had a buzzer, and each correct answer earned one point. The first contestant to reach 6 points in a single round won that round and received additional points. All participants went through three preliminary rounds, and those with outstanding results advanced to the final round to compete for gold and silver awards. This tense and exciting buzzer session tested not only the breadth of their knowledge, but also their reaction time and mental resilience.

Evening: Team Show

This was the highlight moment for team creativity. Under the spotlight, each team took turns walking the runway, showcasing their creative costume designs and chanting their team slogans in unison. The children were full of confidence and charisma, owning the stage.

4^th May | Practical Challenge · Closing Ceremony · Glory

Morning: Mini Practical Challenge – Assemble a Hydraulic Mechanical Arm

The students assembled and actually operated a hydraulic arm, using the fluid power of "a small force lifting a great weight" to complete a designated task. The combination of theory and hands-on practice gave the children a wonderful taste of the fascinating world of engineering.

Afternoon: Closing Ceremony & Awards Presentation

Amid warm applause and a deep sense of accomplishment, this science feast came to a successful close.

Team Awards:

Both the Chinese division team and the English division team received the "Science Pioneer" title for their science boards and presentations, along with medals.

Individual Awards:

Jefferson (Year 5) – Bronze Medal in the National round individual competition

Lucas (Year 5) – Silver Medal in the National round individual competition

Cheers to every child who bravely pursued their dreams and gave their all! The road of science is bright with promise MIS students – keep shining!

Emilia (Year 4, English Division)

I really liked the Science Bazaar and the Team Show. The pattern on our team uniform was designed by us. I'm sure our Science board will be even better next year. The questions in the Guts round were quite hard, but I believe we'll do better next year.

Johnny (Year 4, English Division)

I saw the robot dog performance. It could do somersaults, stand up, and follow commands. It was amazing!

Jefferson (Year 5, English Division)  

The robot dog at the event really left an impression on me. Next time, we'll try our best to finish building the mechanical device in the mini challenge. Oh, and the lunch prepared by the organizers was pretty good. I really liked it.

Lucas (Year 5, English Division)

I think I did well in the individual competition this time. Next year, I'm going for the gold medal!

Olivia (Year 5, Chinese Division)

We didn't finish building the robotic arm in the mini challenge this year. That's a bit disappointing, but we'll definitely get it done next year.

Jerry (Year 6, Chinese Division)

I really enjoyed this science carnival. I was the flag bearer for the opening ceremony, waving our school flag. I was nervous, but mostly proud. I'll remember this experience forever!

Ms. Rose Wang (Competition Coordinator)

This competition trip was a rewarding and unforgettable experience. Our students not only broadened their horizons, but they also truly stepped out of the classroom and onto a bigger stage — bravely challenging themselves and pushing their limits. We saw the joy on their faces when they achieved good results, and we also witnessed their calmness and resilience when facing strong competitors. Of course, we clearly recognized the gap between us and the outstanding teams from across the country — this is both motivation and direction for us. Next, we will carefully review what we've learned, continue to train steadily, and aim to reach a new level next year. We are so proud of the kids, and we look forward to their next shining moment!
