When waste paper boxes transform into mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, and when plastic bottles carry the secrets of geography, on the afternoon of January 14, a competition that combined intellectual depth with environmental awareness came to a successful close on the campus of Nanning Oriental Foreign Languages Senior High School. curtain By the Geography Teaching and Research Group The 2026 “Paper‑Inspired Geography, New Life for Old Materials” geographic model design competition, organized by the school, was meticulously prepared over half a month and culminated in a vibrant presentation session, showcasing the practical ingenuity and innovative spirit of students from Grades 10 and 11.






Old for new—building a world of geography at your fingertips.


Since the competition began, students from each class in Grades 10 and 11 have been… In groups or individually , quickly plunging into a creative surge. Everyone abandoned traditional materials, transforming everyday recyclable resources into valuable new creations. — Used cardboard boxes are cut into terrain bases, expired newspapers are crumpled to create mountainous textures, and plastic bottles are disassembled and reassembled to simulate a water‑cycle system. Discarded cardboard from the convenience store Made by piecing together fabric scraps Fluvial erosion landforms The vision. Over the course of two weeks, the geographical principles learned in class were transformed into design blueprints on scrap paper, while countless iterations during free time breathed new life into discarded materials. Each piece embodies the power of teamwork and a commitment to excellence.

Ideas shared: unlocking the deep connections between earth sciences and environmental protection.


At the presentation session on the afternoon of January 14, the atmosphere was both enthusiastic and focused. Each participating team took to the stage in turn, not only providing a detailed account of their model’s construction techniques and material choices, but also offering an in-depth interpretation of the geographical concepts underlying their work—some, for instance, through… The hemispherical model vividly showcases the exquisite design of FAST, China’s “Sky Eye.” , some with Water cycle To explain the relationship between the ocean and the climate, some use Picturesque mountains Showcase Vertical zonation pattern .

Promote learning through competition and put into practice the original educational aspiration of integrating knowledge with action.


This “Geography in Paper, New Life for Old Materials” geographic model‑design competition is a vivid demonstration of the school’s geography teaching team putting the educational philosophy of “unity of knowledge and action” into practice. By crafting models with their own hands, students transformed abstract geographical concepts into tangible, physical creations, deepening their understanding of the discipline’s core ideas. Moreover, the use of recyclable materials ensured that the principles of sustainable development were truly integrated into hands‑on learning, fostering students’ environmental awareness and innovative thinking.
