Reflecting on the carrier and mode of science and technology education in the past ten years, the school's science and technology education has also experienced a series of processes such as the scale of interest groups and the diversification of interest projects. Such as: thinking Olympics, ship model, airplane model, hot air balloon, photography, video, editing, origami, robot, chess, bridge, computer, painting, medical first aid, chemistry in life, plant cloning, magic, water rocket, etc. The content, scope and form of science and technology education are vivid. However, after summing up the experience of science and technology education for ten years, reflecting on the characteristics of school science and technology education and thinking about the future development needs of students, the school put forward the concept of science and technology education based on robots, and achieved good results in practice. In the past two years, we have constantly reflected and summarized the teaching practice of robots, especially adjusted and practiced the curriculum, teaching objects, teaching equipment, teaching objectives and teaching evaluation. At present, we have formed an effective teaching mode that meets the characteristics of students.

The scientific and technological education model with intelligent robots as the leader, research-based learning as the main body and interest groups as the basis has begun to take shape in our school. The participation rate of students is increasing year by year, and the importance of science and technology education (nature, status and function) is rooted in all teachers and students. Over the years, science and technology education can be reflected in the following aspects.

1, the leader of science and technology education

-Intelligent Robot Education Series.

Combined with the characteristics of our school and parents' expectations, the popularization of scientific and technological skills in our school is based on the development and utilization of intelligent robots. In the process of learning, students not only use their hands and brains, but also play an introductory role in computer language programming, which lays the foundation for students to further their studies and cultivates their interest. The school strictly follows the principle of gradual popularization of intelligent robots, and an effective model has begun to take shape in our school.

Stimulation of interest: Preparatory students take the form of elective courses, students voluntarily sign up to participate, adopt Lego products, assemble in the form of building blocks, and program in the form of graphic connection, which is very suitable for the characteristics of preparatory students. Judging from the participation of students, the number of participants has increased year by year, reaching 40 last year and 109 this year.

Popularization of skills: in the form of compulsory courses for the first grade of junior high school, the popularization effect is achieved, and the single chip microcomputer is used as the carrier to play a popularization role through students' welding assembly, downloading programs, self-programming and standard assessment.

Research improvement: In view of the intelligent robot enthusiasts emerging in the first two items, the school selects activists from the students in Grade Two, Grade Three, Grade One and Grade Two, and organizes them to conduct research and creative development by forming interest groups. The research group is divided into four categories: Lego group (group 7), single chip microcomputer group (group 2), ability storm group (group 2) and future star group (group 2).
