The winners of Bryant Zhuhai’s annual IDEA scholarship competitions were announced on Wednesday, December 8 (scroll to the bottom of this article to see the winning teams and cohorts). The Bryant Zhuhai IDEA Program is an important part of the Bryant Zhuhai first-year curriculum. It is a one-credit course that introduces students to “Design Thinking,” which refers to a process for analyzing a problem, gathering information, and generating creative solutions. The IDEA Program is based on learning by doing, and this year students were guided by 8 exceptional faculty mentors and 16 wonderful student mentors to help them through the process.

 

12月8日星期三，一年一度的Bryant Zhuhai IDEA Program举行了颁奖典礼，标志着2021年度IDEA活动圆满结束(滚动到文章底部可以看到获胜的团队和队伍)。

IDEA项目是布莱恩特项目第一年课程的重要组成部分。这是一门介绍分析问题、收集信息、提出创造性解决方案的过程的“设计思维”1学分课程。IDEA项目旨在实践中学习，今年的大一学生由8名优秀的教师和16名优秀的学生朋辈导师指导，帮助他们完成整个过程。

The IDEA program presented a big challenge to our first-year students who had to complete their projects within a very limited timeframe. They had only three days (from Wednesday to Friday) to research their chosen problems by gathering information through interviews, surveys, observations, and data collection.

 

IDEA项目对大一学生来说是一个很大的挑战，他们必须在非常有限的时间内完成他们的任务。短短三天的时间，他们需要通过采访、调查、观察、数据收集和收集信息，来研究他们选择的课题。

Subsequently, throughout the IDEA weekend (Saturday and Sunday), each team presented their findings, ideas, and solutions at four different times to their mentors who provided feedback for how they could improve their ideas and projects for the next iteration. Finally, the students presented their final projects to a team of 28 faculty, staff, and alumni judges at the IDEA Trade Show on Sunday evening. During the two-hour trade show, each team had to present to seven different judges who evaluated their projects for quality, creativity, originality, feasibility, whether it met the needs of target users, and how well the students were able to describe their team’s creative process. The annual IDEA Trade Show is a highlight of the fall semester for many faculty and staff as it provides an opportunity for the Bryant University-BITZH community to come together to celebrate the accomplishments of our students.

 

随后，在IDEA周末期间，每个团队要向他们的导师展示他们的发现、想法和解决方案，导师为他们如何为迭代改进想法和项目提供反馈。最后，在IDEA成果展上，学生们向一个由28名教职员工和校友评委组成的团队展示了他们的最终项目。在两个小时的展示期间，每个团队要向七个不同的评委展示他们的作品，评委们评估作品的质量、创意、原创性、可行性、是否满足目标用户的需求，以及学生们的表达能力。每年一度的IDEA成果展都是秋季学期的一个亮点，因为它为布莱恩特项目的教职工提供了一个相聚庆祝学生成就的机会。

 

Each year during the IDEA program we witness a change in our students' approaches to problem solving that influences the way they study in all their subsequent coursework. Successfully meeting the challenge of developing an innovative solution to a real-world problem in such a short time proves to the students that they are capable of doing more than they had previously thought possible.

 

每年在IDEA项目期间，我们都看到学生解决问题的方法发生了变化，这影响了他们在随后所有课程中的学习方式。在如此短的时间内成功地解决现实世界的问题，证明了他们的能力超乎想象。
