We are excited to share that ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ students from grades 2-9 participated in the American Math Olympiad (AMO). The AMO is a well-known math competition that challenges students to solve challenging problems while building their problem-solving and thinking skills. It’s a great opportunity for students to showcase their math abilities and creativity.

About the AMO Problems

AMO problems cover algebra, geometry, number patterns, and more. These problems focus on logical thinking and creative solutions instead of basic calculations. We are so proud of how hard our students worked and how much effort they put into solving these challenging questions.

Certificates and Recognition

The competition was held in November at the ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ Chonburi. Today, we handed out the students’ results and certificates during the morning announcements. It was wonderful to see their classmates cheering them on and celebrating their achievements. We are proud of all their hard work and can’t wait to see them continue to grow and succeed!

Grade 4 and 5 students from ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½â€™s Chonburi and Bang Na campuses came together for their first-ever survival camp. Hosted at the Chonburi campus, the event aimed to teach students essential survival skills and then reinforce those skills by applying them to later activities. The camp challenged students to learn how to use available resources to build shelters, cook, and more, all while having fun.

Hands-On Activities and Teamwork
The day was filled with hands-on activities where students learned by doing. They practiced addressing injuries through role-playing scenarios and tied knots to build shelters using rope, bamboo, and tarps. They worked in teams to read different types of maps to solve problems, using this skill in a whole-campus scavenger hunt to find a missing word. When students were working on these activities, they took the lead in solving problems together, with teachers acting as facilitators. The camp also ended with an exciting lesson on building fires and cooking their own food. Students had so much fun throughout the day as they tackled new challenges. Ìý

Building Skills and Leadership
We were thrilled to see the students collaborate and support one another throughout the camp. They displayed impressive leadership, engineering, and survival skills while fostering teamwork and communication. The camp was a great opportunity for students to apply what they had just learned, reinforcing their skills through real-world activities. This memorable experience highlighted their ability to problem-solve, lead, and work together as a team, and we couldn’t be prouder of their efforts.

We received a warm welcome from our Chonburi Municipal office members and their staff, who were willing to explain the uniqueness of these mangrove forests and the importance of using their gallery hall. Then, our students inspected and learned about local woven products as part of the Thai OTOP project. Our students had the luxury of having three guides support us throughout our field trip. Grade 6 students also received instructions for the field trip, an observation worksheet, and location maps. Soon, we were joined by our Chonburi campus students, who took part in this activity with guidance from their teachers.

Students enjoyed walking along the long bridge ramps, admiring nature’s beauty, and seeing mudskippers, crabs, birds, and streams of water flowing back to the sea to join the Gulf of Thailand. Our students also gathered plenty of information on scientific facts about the flora and fauna of our Chonburi mangrove forest, a real gem among several other conservation forests in Thailand.Ìý

Overall, it was a great learning experience out in the field and a chance to apply academic knowledge to the real world. We look forward to continued learning explorations and collaborations between both campuses!

At the aquarium, the Wells students observed various marine life and learned about ocean ecosystems, conservation efforts, and the interdependence of organisms, fulfilling standards related to Earth and life sciences. After gaining insights into marine biology, we proceeded to the beach to explore firsthand coastal environments, apply scientific concepts, and engage in hands-on activities. This helped the students meet their objectives for investigating Earth’s systems and processes.

At the beach, the students didn’t just soak up the sun but also engaged in active exploration and problem-solving. Armed with pencils and curiosity, they conducted a survey as a hands-on application to identify environmental issues. To the students’ dismay, the survey unveiled concerning problems plaguing the coastal ecosystem. They observed a bloom, an overgrowth of algae fueled by excess nutrients, suffocating marine life and marring the beach’s natural beauty. Additionally, the Wells students’ investigation revealed a distressing abundance of plastic waste littering the shoreline, posing threats to marine organisms and ecosystems.

These findings ignited a sense of urgency within the group. The Wells students are inspired to take action, so they brainstormed solutions and discussed the importance of environmental stewardship. The Wells students will be join other groups to tackle the problem together.Ìý

Overall, the field trip was eventful and informative for the students. Hands-on activities such as these present real-life examples that are relevant to our students’ daily lives. Equipped with new knowledge and understanding, the Wells Chonburi students are preparing to implement ways to curb pollution that damages our shorelines.
