在福州西湖国际学校，MYP个人项目是每位十年级学子教育旅程的一个重要里程碑。作为国际文凭中学项目（IB MYP）的收官任务，在设计个人项目时，学子可以自主选择一个他们特别关心的主题，设定一个明确且可实现的目标，并在之后的几个月里进行深入的自主探究。这不仅仅是一个期末任务，更是学子独立性、创造力和在MYP学习过程中所积累跨学科能力的集中体现。

At Fuzhou Lakeside International School, the MYP Personal Project marks a key milestone in every Grade 10 student’s educational journey. As the culminating experience of the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Personal Project empowers students to choose a topic they care deeply about, set a clear and achievable goal, and carry out an extended, self-directed inquiry over several months. More than just a final assignment, the Personal Project is a celebration of independence, creativity, and the skills that students have developed across all subjects during their MYP years.

在这一过程中，学子对自己的学习全权负责：从选题、研究，到规划、行动与反思。其间，他们运用了多种多样的ATL技能（学习方法），包括时间管理、研究能力、组织能力、批判性思维、沟通能力以及自我反思能力。与此同时，教师在一旁担任辅助性角色，为学子提供支持，而整个项目的主动性、方向性和动力始终来自学子自身。

Students take full responsibility for their learning process—from selecting a topic and conducting research to planning, taking action, and reflecting on their outcomes. Along the way, they apply a wide range of Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills, including time management, research, organization, critical thinking, communication, and self-reflection. While teachers serve as supportive supervisors, the initiative, direction, and motivation come from the students themselves.

纵观今年学子的个人项目，其兴趣之广泛、能力之多样令人印象深刻，不仅体现了学子的学术知识，也展现了与现实世界相关的思考和个人成长。很遗憾我们无法一一列举，但或许读者可以通过以下几个亮点作品管中窥豹：

This year’s projects showcased an impressive diversity of passions and abilities, highlighting not only academic knowledge but also real-world relevance and personal growth. Unfortunately we cannot list them all, but perhaps readers can get a glimpse of them through the following highlights:

Vindy Wang同学是校内才华横溢的艺术家，今年，她成功完成了40页的艺术作品集，展示了她作为插画家与设计师一路的成长。她的作品体现了对色彩理论、构图和透视的深刻理解，由此创作出极为吸睛的角色。除了绘画技巧，Vindy还掌握了必要的设计软件，并运用专业的排版设计赋予作品集和谐的视觉效果，确保了文字可读性。她也同印刷厂商合作，制作了高质量的装订成品。Vindy的个人项目是创意、技巧与独立项目管理能力的集大成者。

Vindy Wang has always been a talented artist in our school, and this year she successfully completed a 40-page art collection that showcases her growth as both an illustrator and designer. Her work demonstrates a strong understanding of color theory, composition, and perspective, resulting in visually compelling character designs. In addition to her drawing skills, Vindy mastered essential design software and applied professional typesetting techniques to ensure visual harmony and text readability throughout her collection. She also collaborated with printing manufacturers to produce a high-quality, bound final product. Her project exemplifies creativity, technical skill, and independent project management.

Eduardo Barranco同学的目标是将编程与科学理解相结合，他实现了这一点——通过创建一个功能齐全的物理主题网站，专注于探讨霍金辐射。这个网站不仅展示了他日益精进的网页开发技能，还包含一篇经过深入研究的解释性论文，清晰阐述了黑洞和霍金辐射等复杂物理概念。通过个人项目，Eduardo展现了他将STEM知识与数字创作相结合的能力，凸显了他对编程和天体物理学的热情，同时证明了他融合二者的能力。

Eduardo Barranco achieved his goal of combining coding and scientific understanding by building a fully functional website focused on Hawking Radiation. The site not only showcases his growing skills in web development but also includes a well-researched explanatory paper that clearly communicates complex physics concepts such as black holes and Hawking Radiation. Through this project, Eduardo demonstrated his ability to integrate STEM knowledge with digital creation, highlighting his passion for both coding and astrophysics, while demonstrating his excellent ability to communicate both.

Sonia Chen设计了一个完全原创的角色，体现了她对人物绘画技巧的深刻理解。成品包含了角色详细的三视图绘画，人物佩戴首饰、珠宝，手持小道具。Sonia将重点放在协调场景、服装和整体设计上，创造了一个和谐且富有表现力的角色。她还精心撰写了人物介绍作为补充说明，解释了艺术技巧和设计逻辑。她的作品既体现了画技上的进步，又充分彰显了创意——作为一名具有国际视角的学子，她将独特的文化元素融入了角色设计中。

Sonia Chen successfully designed and presented a fully original character concept that demonstrates her deep understanding of character drawing techniques. Her final product features a detailed three-view drawing of the character, complete with accessories, jewelry, and props. Sonia focused on harmonizing the setting, clothing, and overall design to create a cohesive and expressive character. She supplemented her visual presentation with a thoughtful written introduction, showing both artistic skill and design reasoning. Her work reflects both technical progress and a strong creative vision, as she was able to incorporate unique cultural elements from her international perspective into the character.

Isabella Zheng的个人项目是一场生动而富有深意的宣传活动，旨在庆祝芭比电影的黄金时代。通过一系列平面设计材料——包括宣传海报、手册及主题周边商品——她成功传达了四部经典芭比电影的独特魅力。Isabella的项目不仅鼓励新观众探索芭比宇宙的深层内涵，还对近期作品质量的下滑进行了批判。她的设计体现了强烈的视觉形象、叙事能力和极佳的宣传效果，邀请观众重新发现定义芭比IP的欢乐、色彩与魔法。

Isabella Zheng created a vibrant and thoughtful campaign celebrating the golden era of Barbie films. Through graphic design materials—including promotional posters, handbooks, and themed merchandise—she effectively communicated the unique charm of four classic Barbie movies. Isabella's project not only encouraged newer audiences to explore the deeper layers of the Barbie universe but also critiqued the decline in quality of recent productions. Her designs reflect a strong sense of visual identity, storytelling, and advocacy, inviting viewers to rediscover the joy, color, and magic that define the Barbie brand.

Bonnie Guo勇敢地将她的项目聚焦于许多青少年面临的挑战，通过开发和测试个性化日常计划，帮助青少年提升自我管理能力并克服拖延症。在为期三周的时间里，她持续制定并执行可行的每日计划，并根据实际生活责任和突发变化进行调整。Bonnie对自我反思和习惯养成的坚持，帮助她逐步减少干扰、提升时间管理能力，并养成更健康的生活方式。如何促进长期个人成长，并养成终身学习习惯？Bonnie的个人项目给出了一种答案：要有意识地做好计划，对自己的计划负责，然后坚持下去！

Bonnie Guo bravely focused her project on something many teens struggle with, building better self-management skills and overcoming procrastination through the development and testing of personalized routines. Over a three-week period, she consistently created and followed achievable daily plans, adjusting them to accommodate real-life responsibilities and unexpected changes. Bonnie's dedication to self-reflection and habit formation helped her gradually reduce distractions, improve her time management, and develop a healthier lifestyle. Her project demonstrates how intentional planning, accountability, and persistence can foster long-term personal growth and lifelong learning habits.

未来我们计划发布此次活动的总结视频，感兴趣的观众可以从中了解更多作品，以及到场观展师生对学生作品的印象随感，敬请期待！个人项目不仅是MYP学习阶段的总结，它也是通往未来的重要桥梁——为学生在IB文凭课程（DP）、大学学习乃至更远的教育旅程中所需的独立性、探究能力和自我驱动性打下坚实基础。不仅如此，个人项目的实践还培养了我们希望学生在未来职业中具备的思维方式与技能：有目标、有创意，并由好奇心和影响力驱动。

In the future, we plan to release a summary video of IB Personal Project. Interested viewers can learn more about the projects and the impressions of the teachers and students who visited on the showcase day. The Personal Project not only marks the conclusion of the MYP—it also acts as a powerful bridge to the future, preparing students for the independence, inquiry, and self-motivation required in the IB Diploma Programme, university learning, and beyond. Just as importantly, it nurtures the mindset and skills needed for the kinds of careers we envision for our students: purposeful, creative, and driven by curiosity and impact.

随着十年级学子迈入教育旅程的新阶段，他们不仅带着一项有意义的个人成就离开，更带着引领自主学习的信心与能力。无论未来选择哪条道路，他们都已做好准备。

As our Grade 10 students move into the next phase of their educational journey, they leave not only with a meaningful personal achievement but with the confidence and capability to lead their own learning—whatever path they choose next.
