　　日前，由美国科学与公众社团（SSP）创办、美国英特尔公司领衔赞助的全球规模最大的高中科学研究竞赛2012年英特尔国际科学与工程大奖赛（Intel ISEF）在美国匹兹堡落下帷幕。来自全球70个国家和地区的1500多名学生汇聚一堂，竞相展现他们的创新灵感、前沿研究和发明创造。小小年纪，他们缘何能够在科学前沿研究中登堂入室、摘得桂冠？本报记者在2012年英特尔国际科学与工程大奖赛现场，近距离感受美国基础教育培养拔尖创新人才的体制机制。

a，By the American science and public society（SSP）founded、Intel lead the sponsorship of the world's largest high school scientific research competition 2012 Intel international science and engineering grand prix（Intel ISEF）In the United States to drop the curtain of Pittsburgh。From 70 countries and regions in more than 1500 students gather，To show their creative inspiration、Frontier research and invention。Small age，Why they can at the forefront of science study become more proficient in one's profession、Took thecrown？Our correspondent in 2012 Intel international science and engineering grand prix field，Close feeling American basic education training top-notch innovative personnel system mechanism。

竞赛以培养学生兴趣为导向 Competition to develop students' interest as the guidance

　　泰勒·威尔逊已经是第二次参加国际科学与工程大奖赛。每一次，他的作品都与核有关系，去年是用于检测核设施的超低剂量和极高灵敏度的监测技术，而今年则是用于医疗卫生领域的放射性同位素技术。据介绍，这名年轻的高中生，还曾经在自己家的简易实验室里，以极其低廉的材料制作出一个核试验反应堆，着实引起了不小的轰动。

Taylor Wilson is the second time to participate in the international science and engineering grand prix。Every time，His works and nuclear have relations，Last year was used to test nuclear facilities low dose and high sensitivity monitoring technology，And this year it was used in medical and health field of radioactive isotope technology。According to introducing，The young high school students，Also once at home in the simple lab，With extremely low material produce a nuclear reactor，Really caused a lot of sensation。

　　参加国际科学与工程大奖赛的，有不少像威尔逊这样的美国高中生。他们出于对科学技术的兴趣和好奇，想方设法创造条件，自发进行前沿科学的理论研究和发明创造。据了解，为了保护和鼓励高中生的科研兴趣，大奖赛对评委作出了特别要求，要求评委充满爱心去评判。美国科学与公众社团将赛场布置成一个开放的展览会，并在颁奖环节，让获奖者踏上红地毯去领奖，充分享受科技创新所带来的荣誉和乐趣。

Participate in international science and engineering of the grand prix，There are many such as Wilson of American high school students。They for science and technology the interest and curiosity，Try to create conditions，Spontaneous frontier science theory research and invention。It is understood，In order to protect and encourage high school students scientific research interest，Grand prix was a special requirements for the judges，The judges to judge for full of love。American science and public field club will decorate an open exhibition，And at the link，Let the winners on the red carpet，Fully enjoy the technology innovation brought about by the honor and pleasure。

　　事实上，美国青少年科技竞赛以及学校教育都十分强调学生主动参与学习、出于兴趣进行科学探究的过程。美国的科学教材，数理化都集中在一起，但其内容从问题开始，提出问题，并作出假设，让学生形成探究的兴趣。

In fact，American youth science and technology competition and school education are emphasized students actively participate in learning、Out of interest in the process of scientific inquiry。The scientific teaching materials，Science is concentrated together，But the content from the start，Ask questions，And make assumptions，Let the student to form the inquiry interest。

大学资源向高中生开放 University high school students resources to open

　　黄骏达是一名美籍华裔高中生，他的参赛项目是关于数论的知识，凭借这个数学研究项目，他获得了英特尔国际科学与工程大奖赛的二等奖。他告诉记者，美国有很多特别棒的夏令营，参加这些夏令营能够学到很多东西，而且他所在的华盛顿地区，拥有不少大学，他还经常到大学里去免费“蹭课”。

Yellow fine horse is a Chinese American high school students，He submitted a project is about the theory of knowledge，With the math research project，He won the Intel international science and engineering of the grand prix second prize。He told reporters，The United States has a lot of special good summer camp，To participate in the summer camp can learn a lot of things，And he in the Washington area，Have many university，He also often go to the university to go free“Ceng class”。

　　美国所拥有的开放、自由的教育体系，为培养高中生的科研创新能力提供了极为便利的条件。大学课堂向普通市民开放，高校图书馆、实验室向高中生开放，这让高中生很容易就能够顺着自己的兴趣，接触到科学前沿理论，进而展开最尖端、最前沿的科学研究。另外，高中提供的教育资源，包括高中与高等院校、科研院所的联系，也使高中生的科学研究顺利得以实现和深入。

The United States have open、Free education system，To foster high school students scientific research innovation ability provides very convenience condition。The college classroom to ordinary citizens and opening up，University library、Laboratory open to high school students，It makes high school students can easily along their interests，Access to the forefront of science theory，The most advanced and expansion、To the forefront of scientific research。In addition，High school provide education resources，Including high school and colleges、Research institutes contact，Also make the high school students scientific research can realize smoothly and further。

　　美国高中在开展科学研究项目活动方面具有相当的规模和广泛的基础。开展课题研究在该学区不是少数“精英”的游戏，而是众多学生的学习活动。在部分中学，参加课题研究的学生高达60%至70%。据了解，美国高中生所开展的科研选题是他们在现实生活中产生的问题，大多不是高中老师或者大学教授告诉他们的。他们在研究过程中会利用到很多大学的实验室或研究所的设备和条件，但除了有毒或危险的实验之外，高校的老师一般不会替他们做什么。

American high school in developing scientific research project activities has considerable scale and a wide range of basic。To carry out research in this district is not a few“elite”game，But many students' learning activities。In the part of the middle school，To research the students as high as 60% to 70%。It is understood，American high school students in the scientific research topic selection is they in real life and the cause of the problem，Most is not high school teacher or university professor told them。They are in the course of the study will use to a lot of university laboratory equipment and conditions，But in addition to poisonous or dangerous outside experiment，The teacher is generally not for what they do。

高中生选择将发明商业化 High school students choose to commercial invention

　　目前，美国高中生的科技创新呈现出一种新趋势，就是越来越多的科技创新项目具有商业化的潜质。

At present，American high school students of science and technology innovation presents a new trend，Is more and more scientific and technological innovation project has commercial potential。

　　美国科学与公众社团主席伊莉莎白·马里科拉女士告诉记者：“我们的高中生正变得更有创业意识，尤其是他们见证了很多与他们年纪相仿的人，例如脸谱公司的马克·扎克伯格将自己的创意商业化，并取得商业上的成功。参赛人员中，有25%的人已经有了自己的专利或提出了专利申请。而在8年前，我刚任主席时，这个数据只有10%，甚至更少。”

American science and public club chairman Elizabeth · Mali cora lady told reporters：“Our high school students are becoming more pioneering consciousness，Especially when they witnessed a lot of the same age of with them，Such as facebook company mark zack's will your creative commercialization，And achieve business success。Participating personnel，25% of people have their own patent or patent application is put forward。In eight years ago，When I just as chairman，This data is only 10%，Even less。”

　　据了解，为了顺应这种产学研用相结合的趋势，本次英特尔国际科学与工程大奖赛还特别设置了创业论坛，邀请那些成功将自己的科技创新项目商业化的过来人，与高中生共同分享科技创新与创业的经历。

It is understood，In order to conform to the trend of the combination of combining with，The Intel international science and engineering grand prix also specifically set up business BBS，Invite those the success of their science and technology innovation project commercial a n experienced person，And high school students share the science and technology innovation and entrepreneurial experience。

　　伊莉莎白·马里科拉强调，科技创新与商业化并不相悖，也不用担心商业化会侵蚀高中生的科学精神或创新精神。大多数的学生的本意不在商业化，而是专注于研究和发现。

Elizabeth · Mali cora stressed，There is no confliction between science and technology innovation and commercialization，Also need not worry about commercial erosion of high school students scientific spirit and innovative spirit。Most of the students intended not commercialization，Instead of focusing on research and discovery。
