Earlier this year, the 12th BeiDou Cup China Adolescents & Technology Invention Contest (BD-CASTIC) announced a list of winners. A school from Zhejiang province won big.
今年早些時(shí)候，第十二屆“北斗杯”全國(guó)青少年科技創(chuàng)新大賽(BD-CASTIC) 結(jié)果揭曉。浙江一所學(xué)校贏得了大獎(jiǎng)。

Shaoxing No 1 High School took home nine awards in the category targeting youth amateurs under age 17, including two first place prizes and four second place prizes.
紹興市第一中學(xué)在面向17歲以下的少年個(gè)人愛好者組比賽中獲得9個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，包括2個(gè)一等獎(jiǎng)和4個(gè)二等獎(jiǎng)。

As a high-level and large-scale competition for youth, BD-CASTIC was launched in 2010 by the Department of Science, Technology and Information of the Ministry of Education. It aims to cultivate innovative, versatile and skilled talents for BeiDou-related industries.
“北斗杯”全國(guó)青少年科技創(chuàng)新大賽是教育部科技和信息司于2010年啟動(dòng)的一項(xiàng)高水平、大規(guī)模的青少年競(jìng)賽。這項(xiàng)大賽旨在為北斗相關(guān)產(chǎn)業(yè)培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新型、復(fù)合型的技術(shù)人才。

One of the first place prizes went to a smart system for safe driving built by Qian Weicheng and his team. “As more automobiles run on the road, transportation accidents have increased,” the 16-year-old said. “So we want to develop a system to prevent collisions and lower risks by improving driver performance.” The system can calculate real-time safety distances, monitor the temperature inside the car and detect other problems such as drunk driving.
錢煒程及其在小組開發(fā)的智能安全駕駛系統(tǒng)獲得了一等獎(jiǎng)。“隨著路上的汽車越來(lái)越多，交通事故也在增加，”這位16歲的少年說(shuō)?！耙虼?，我們希望開發(fā)一個(gè)改善司機(jī)駕駛表現(xiàn)的系統(tǒng)，從而防止車禍，降低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)?！痹撓到y(tǒng)可以計(jì)算實(shí)時(shí)安全距離、監(jiān)控車內(nèi)溫度和發(fā)現(xiàn)酒后駕駛等其他問(wèn)題。

Zhang Yantao and his team invented a multi-functional intelligent robot for epidemic prevention. The robot can help reduce contact between medical professionals and COVID-19 patients by carrying out tasks such as distribution, temperature measurement and disinfection. The team won second prize for their invention.
張嚴(yán)濤及其團(tuán)隊(duì)發(fā)明了一種多功能防疫智能機(jī)器人。這款機(jī)器人可進(jìn)行配送、測(cè)溫、消毒等工作，從而減少醫(yī)務(wù)人員和新冠患者之間的接觸。這個(gè)小組的發(fā)明獲得了二等獎(jiǎng)。

Both of their inventions are based on the application of BeiDou Navigation Satellite Systems (BDS). “Our system mainly adopts three services provided by BDS: high-accuracy positioning, traffic information and remote sensing,” Qian said.
這兩項(xiàng)發(fā)明都是基于北斗衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)（BDS）的應(yīng)用?！拔覀兊南到y(tǒng)主要采用了三種北斗衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)提供的服務(wù)：高精度定位、交通信息和遙感，“錢煒程表示。

To complete their inventions, they needed to learn about the theory and application of BDS, which they acquired from their “BeiDou Class”, a program jointly initiated by Peking University and China Association for Science and Technology in 2020. Currently, the class is the only one established in middle schools around the country to cultivate talents for BeiDou science and technology.
為了完成發(fā)明，他們?cè)谥袊?guó)衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航定位協(xié)會(huì)與北京大學(xué)于2020年攜手打造的“北斗科技班”中學(xué)習(xí)了所需的北斗衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)的理論知識(shí)和應(yīng)用。目前，這是全國(guó)中學(xué)中唯一為北斗科技人才培養(yǎng)所設(shè)立的班級(jí)。

Over 170 students have joined the program. “We hope the program will inspire students’ innovative spirit by figuring out and solving problems,” said Zhou Wenlong, the project leader.
170余名學(xué)生參加了“北斗科技班”項(xiàng)目。項(xiàng)目負(fù)責(zé)人周文龍表示:“我們希望這個(gè)項(xiàng)目能通過(guò)發(fā)現(xiàn)并解決問(wèn)題，激發(fā)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)新精神?！?/span>
