在今年1月份刚刚结束了康菲石油的参观与交流之后，3月26日WEC的科技创新女孩项目又走进了一家位于北京的科技企业慧与（中国）有限公司(HPE)的总部，来自北京四所国际学校（加拿大国际学校、德威国际学校、顺义国际学校、鼎石国际学校）的学生们有机会了解作为科技巨头之一HPE的历史、文化以及技术领域的创新与实践。
HPE全球副总裁兼中国区董事总经朱海翔首先发表了欢迎致辞，强调了HPE对STEMM教育和支持女性在科技领域角色的重视，并与学生们分享了个人故事和鼓励。人力资源总监厉秀i）介绍了HPE的企业文化以及公司在性别平等和推动女性技术人才发展方面的努力。
此次活动中，最受欢迎的是迷你实验室环节，学生们亲自动手拆解服务器并重新组装、完成连接任务，HPE技术导师贾宛金和钱昀把四所学校的学生们分成2组进行比赛，除了以最快的速度拆解和组装服务器以外，还要回答关于服务器的一些数据参数，虽然部分答案可以在服务器以及配件上找到，但比赛结果以完成时间和准确度做为评判标准，让学生们感受到比赛带来的乐趣和团队协助的重要性。通过这个亲自动手的体验，增强了学生们对硬件设备的兴趣、增加了大家对科技企业的了解。
Following the visit with ConocoPhillips in January this year, the WEC’s Girls in STEMM program once again visited a leading technology enterprise in Beijing on March 26 the headquarters of HPE China. The girls from four international schools in Beijing (Canadian International School of Beijing, Dulwich College Beijing, International School of Beijing, and Keystone Academy Beijing) had the opportunity to learn about the history, culture, innovation and practices in the technology field of HPE, one of the technology giants.
Michael Zhu, HPE’s Global Vice President and Managing Director of China, delivered a welcome speech emphasizing HPE’s commitment to STEMM education and supporting women in technology roles. He shared personal stories and encouragement with the students. Echo Li, the Human Resources Director, introduced HPE’s corporate culture and the company’s efforts in gender equality and promoting the development of female technical talent.
The most popular part of this event was the Mini Laboratory session, where students got hands-on experience dismantling servers and reassembling them to complete connectivity tasks. The technical instructors Jia Wanjin and Qian Yun also set some challenges, dividing the students from the four schools into two groups for a competition. Apart from dismantling and reassembling the server as quickly as possible, they also had to answer questions about the server’s data parameters. Although some answers could be found on the server and its accessories, the competition results were judged based on completion time and accuracy, allowing the students to experience the fun of competition and the importance of teamwork. This hands-on experience enhanced the students’ interest in hardware devices and increased their understanding of technology enterprises.
除了迷你实验室的有趣体验，与企业的高层和优秀管理人员进行深入的学习与交流，也是每次活动的一个亮点。HPE全球副总裁兼中国区董事总经理朱海翔、HPE女性组织代表孙晓静、女性高管、女性技术人才及新世代人才代表通过真心话大冒险游戏分享了他/她们每一位的成长以及成功的故事，在HPE的工作经历和感悟，让同学们对HPE的企业文化和政策有了更深入的了解。高管们鼓励学生们要勇于追求自己的梦想、设立目标、最终朝着目标努力行动，无论结果是否达到预期，享受过程带来的乐趣，从失败中找到新的解决方法。
In addition to the engaging experience of the Mini Laboratory, in-depth learning and exchanges with senior executives and outstanding managers of the enterprise are also highlights of each event. HPE’s Global Vice President and Managing Director of China Michael Zhu, HPE Women’s Resources Group Leader Sun Xiaojing, and representatives of executive women leaders, women tech talents and young generations shared their personal growth and success stories through a game of Truth or Dare, providing insights into their experiences and reflections at HPE. This allowed students to gain a deeper understanding of HPE’s corporate culture and policies. The executives encouraged students to courageously pursue their dreams, set goals, and work towards them, enjoying the process regardless of whether the results meet expectations. They emphasized finding new solutions from failures.
HPE作为一家科技企业，AI是本次活动的另一个热门话题，学生们与企业嘉宾讨论人工智能给她们的学习提供了哪些帮助和便捷，未来的人工智能是否会替代一部分技术人员的岗位；嘉宾们也分享到了解学生们不但利用AI帮助她们提高学习效率、查找资料，还有学生对AI程序进行培训让AI也能适应人的需求和记忆性习惯。
As a technology enterprise, AI was undoubtedly another hot topic during the event. The students discussed with the representatives how artificial intelligence has helped and facilitated their learning, and whether AI will replace some technical positions in the future. The representatives were pleased to find that the students not only utilize AI to improve their learning efficiency and search for information, but some students have even trained AI programs to adapt to human needs and memory habits.
通过这次参观，同学们更深入了解到科技改善生活的力量以及高科技行业资讯。除了技术实力和创新能力，注重企业文化建设和关注员工成长，也是企业成功必不可少的因素。期待通过这次参观体验，增加学生对科技行业的兴趣，并找到路径坚持梦想。
Through this visit, the girls have gained deeper understanding of the technology industry and how to make the world a better place through technology. Apart from technical strength and innovation capabilities, emphasizing corporate culture, policies and employee growth are also essential factors for a company’s success. We hoped that through this visit and experience, girls who are interested in pursuing a career in the technology industry will persist in their dreams.
STEMM 项目参与同学在活动结束后与大家分享：“我认为最酷的事情是办公环境，男女员工之间的平等以及办公室的结构如何为员工在工作时提供外部世界的视野。”
“I think the coolest thing is the office environment, the equality between male and female employees and how the office is structured to provide employees with the view of the outside world while working.” — Girls in STEMM project student
