“Engaging Automotive Classroom”Bringing AutomotiveKnowledge
Into the Community
– Automotive Dream Initiation Teaching Team –
On July 12, the Automotive Dream Initiation Teaching Team from Hubei University of Automotive Technology entered the Liu Yan Community in Shiyan City, Hubei Province, to carry out the “Engaging Automotive Classroom” series of summer “Three Going to the Countryside” social practice activities. Through various forms such as popularizing automotive knowledge, hands-on assembly, and fun games, the team guided children to combine theory with practice, igniting their interest and enthusiasm for automotive technology.
Embedded Classroom:
Understanding the “Smart Brain” of Automobiles
In the morning, during the embedded automotive classroom, team member Jiang Songyang introduced the course with the theme “The Secret Weapon of Automobiles,” encouraging the children to use their imagination and raise their hands to answer questions about its magical functions. Throughout the course, Jiang Songyang compared embedded systems to the “smart brain” of automobiles, explaining its critical role in the operation of vehicles, from the working principles of engines to the overall structure of cars. He used vivid language to simplify complex knowledge. When discussing the applications of embedded automobiles in daily life, children raised their hands to share their discoveries. “I found that the image I see when my dad’s car is reversing might be due to this ‘brain’ working,” said child Yang Xiaotian. Jiang Songyang then elaborated on the technological challenges that automobiles will face in the future and patiently answered the students’ questions.
Interactive Games:
Passing the Flower with Laughter
After the course, team member Wang Lili actively asked the children about their game preferences. The children suggested ideas such as “Passing the Flower” and “Werewolf.” The team members decided on the “Passing the Flower” game based on the number of votes from the children. Before the game started, team member Wu Lianghui carefully explained the rules, emphasizing the importance of safety and respect, ensuring that every participant could enjoy the game in a joyful and cooperative atmosphere. In a cheerful rhythm, the children eagerly participated, and the child who received the “flower” had to showcase their talent, filling the scene with laughter and applause. This game not only brought the teacher-student relationship closer but also enhanced the cohesion among the team members.
Creative Design:
Hands-on Assembly to Stimulate Collaboration Skills
In the afternoon, team member Zhu Xinyu focused on guiding the children in hands-on practice, conducting the “Creative Design Challenge” activity. First, various vehicle models were presented to the students, followed by an analysis of travel-related issues, illustrating the dangers of situations like “slippery icy roads” and “traffic jams” to introduce problem-solving ideas.
During the practical session, the teaching team guided the children to combine their imagined vehicle designs with everyday travel problems, encouraging them to collaborate in pairs and design their team’s car. “I will take care of the car body, and you can paint it beautifully,” said child Cai Wanning, actively dividing tasks with her partner. The children communicated their ideas and reasonably allocated tasks during the collaboration, filling the entire process with creativity and collaborative energy. After completing their creative design drafts, the team members distributed 3D automotive puzzles to the children. During the assembly process, the children carefully followed the assembly instructions, while the team members studied the instructions closely to familiarize themselves with the assembly steps. “This part should go with that one; look, there’s a hole here,” a child pointed out to their partner. When encountering problems, the students actively sought help from the team members or discussed solutions with their partners, creating an atmosphere filled with creativity and team spirit.
Fun Q&A:
Brain Teasers Bring Joy to the Classroom
After all automotive-related courses concluded that day, team member Li Xingyue prepared a fun “brain teaser” session for the children. “What gets bigger the more you cut it?” “What job surprises people the most?” The children eagerly raised their hands to answer, and their minds sparked with wisdom as they quickly processed the questions. The team members also shared photos of the children enjoying games in the classroom with the parents in a group chat, allowing parents to intuitively understand their children’s status in class and feel the joy of their children in the after-school program. This initiative received unanimous recognition from most parents. “Thank you, teachers, for your hard work,” a parent commented in the group. Teacher Li, who coordinated the event in Liu Yan Community, also stated: “The courses brought by the teaching team from Hubei University of Automotive Technology are both professional and interesting, enriching the children’s summer lives and igniting their interest in automotive technology. The community warmly welcomes such practical activities.”
In this summer teaching activity conducted by the “Engaging Automotive Classroom” Automotive Dream Initiation Teaching Team at Liu Yan Community, through automotive theory explanations, guiding children in creative design, hands-on assembly, and designing fun games, the children gained knowledge and improved their practical skills while building a good bridge between the school and the community. Moving forward, the Automotive Dream Initiation Teaching Team will continue to carry out a series of automotive technology education activities in the community, further expanding the course content and service scope to sow technological dreams for more children.
