在一个以不断创新、快速技术进步和不断演变的道德挑战为标志的时代, integrating technology into education is imperative. St. 卢克的战略愿景强调了提高每个学生的能力和对技术力量和社会影响的理解的重要性, making it a cornerstone for their preparation to thrive.
St. 卢克的新兴技术课程超越趋势,着眼于所有现代技术所依赖的潜在基础元素, such as problem-solving, algorithmic thinking, 编程, and data analysis.
Through required and elective courses, students will build comprehensive physical, 数字, and logical design and implementation skills. This includes computer 编程; Computer-Aided Design (CAD); physical prototyping; empathetic human-tech interface design; and data science.
Our vision is for all St 路加福音’s graduates to leave the Hilltop as skilled, conscientious creators and users of the technologies shaping the world.
中学: A Four-Year Foundation
St. 卢克的核心技术课程将在2024年9月在中学扩展,包括完整的四年序列 Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) 课程:
本课程的目标是让学生更加善于观察他们所处的环境,并将自己视为能够识别和解决多种问题的变革者. 迭代设计思维过程将为学生提供一个创造性地解决问题和交流想法的框架. Through individual and collaborative projects and puzzles, 学生将通过更加关注他人的需求来设计直接应对挑战的解决方案,从而培养同理心. 本课程侧重于解决问题的策略,并介绍了用于低保真原型设计以及基本块和基于文本的代码的设计实验室中的工具和材料.
本课程提供了一个引人入胜的人工智能介绍,重点是道德决策. 学生学习技术概念——比如如何训练一个简单的分类器——并考虑这些技术概念的伦理含义, such as algorithmic bias. Students become comfortable with key terms such as dataset, learning algorithm, 预测, and optimization, and will practice using an ethical matrix. 学生们学习在日常生活中识别人工智能系统,并对这些系统做出的预测进行推理. Throughout the course, 学生对新发行的MacBook电脑有基本的了解,包括电脑的基本工作原理(内存), 存储, CPU, I/O), the difference between data and application, networking and cloud computing concepts and practice (client/server model), and data types and management using spreadsheets.
本课程将计算机科学与工程学结合在一起,学生将以电子学和机器人技术的形式学习物理计算. 机器人技术需要物理构建和编程逻辑来添加功能. Students continue to use the Design Thinking Process as they design and build simple circuits; they use computer-aided design (CAD) software to design the housing for their robots. The prototypes are made using 3D printers and laser cutters. The course focuses on problem-solving, 协作, project planning, 故障排除, 创造力, 学生们在这一年中设计和制造机器人的毅力.
上学校: Next-Level Skills
The 中学 curriculum provides a strong foundation for 上学校 Computer Science and Engineering. 这个已经很强大的课程将继续发展,计划在2024-2025年提供新的课程. 高年级学生通过发展复杂的解决问题和技术编程能力,将他们的技能提升到一个新的水平.
St. 卢克的 Distinction: 技术实力的发展与学生强大的道德指南针是同步的. 新兴技术和CSE的每一个层面都增加了一层关于道德和同理心的学习. Read more about the critical importance of embedding ethics in Inside Higher Education: In Class, Some Colleges Overlook 技术’s Dark Side
Liz Perry, Assistant 校长 for 学者, presents Emerging Technologies at our 2023 State of the School.
艾比阿伯特, Assistant Head of US, and Conor Grennan, 纽约大学斯特恩商学院学生主任兼生成人工智能主管(兼SLS母公司), discuss how AI is reshaping education.
A Curious Talk About A Wildly Different Tool: St. 路加福音’s School Embraces Emerging Technologies
在新迦南图书馆,一场关于在教育中使用生成式人工智能的对话展开了. Conducted by Conor Grennan, 纽约大学斯特恩商学院(以及SLS母公司)的学生主任和生成人工智能负责人, 和艾比·艾伯特, St. 路加福音’s Assistant Head of 上学校, the discussion centered around the technology known as ChatGPT. Both Grennan and Abbott highlighted a shift in mindset, 从最初对人工智能对学生思维和写作影响的担忧,转变为一种好奇心; This is a wildly different tool. How do we use it? Read Liz's blog post
