Empowerment through Education

SDGs Challenge Project, 2023

Since 2019, we have collaborated with a public high school in Fukuoka city to introduce SDGs Challenge Project into the main stream public school education. Started as a small workshop for 17 students, we are really excited that the SDGs Challenge Project is into its 3rd year for all 3rd Grade students in the school through the "Period for Inquiry-Based Cross-Disciplinary Study". Since 2021, our partner school has been named as a model school in Fukuoka city for implementing the SDGs Challenge Project as a form of inquiry-based learning in the "Period for Inquiry-Based Cross-Disciplinary Study".

This April, the school starts another new academic year for the SDGs Challenge Project 2023. For more information about the SDGs Challenge Project, please visit the SDGs Design School website.

Taiwan School Visits, March 2023

Field visits in Taiwanese elementary, junior high and high schools

A fruitful learning journey and field survey was completed in March 2023. I sincerely thank National Taiwan Normal University, College of Technology and Engineering, for providing opportunity for my student and me to visit several centers of excellence for STEAM education, Technology, and Robotics in Taipei and New Taipei City. I would also like to sincerely thank Prof Kuen-yi LIN and his assistant for taking precious time from their busy schedule to accompany us for the school visits. Last but not least, we thank all the principals and teachers for their hospitality and time in explaining their programs and learning environments.
We look forward to continuing learning from educators in Taiwan, and strengthening our friendship and collaborative relationships with educators in Taiwan and the faculty members of National Taiwan Normal University.
