Our community

Taiwan, an island surrounded by ocean in the Eastern of Asia, has an advanced technology business and a prosperous economy. Taiwan’s government has appealed against the importance of recycling, however, the government didn’t really take action on recycling, with not enough appeal to citizens led to the environmental problem in Taiwan. Citizens will not mainly focus on recycling or using any products that can be reduced. There aren’t many companies that use recyclable materials to produce recycled products because using recyclable materials is way more expensive than the materials that are easy to get. 

Project Summary

Without enough appeal to the importance of recycling, people have been harmfully affected the environment in recent years, and the oceans have also been significantly affected. These issues led to the problem of marine animals living. We’ll be mainly focusing on how to decrease ocean pollution and minimize carbon emissions. At the same time, we’ll deeply understand the importance of environmental protection for society and explore effective ways to utilize marine waste to produce recycled products. Within the deeper research,  we have found a company named "Deya" that mainly creates recyclable backpacks using marine waste. Not only helps reduce carbon emissions. It’ll also preserve the natural environment. We’ll understand how they produce backpacks by using products that are friendly to the environment, which will combine to our main theme. 

Computer and Internet Access

Nowadays, students use the Internet for everything, including research and surveys. In this project, we had to use the Internet to do all the work. The internet speed in class is around 10.58 Mbps for uploading and 2 Mbps for downloading. However, our school is located in the mountains, the Internet is not always steady. When the Wifi is broken, we use wired internet. Our team has seven iPhones, seven Macbooks, and seven iPads. It will make us easier to connect and get our work done while we are at home. These devices show the importance of the Internet for our schoolwork 

Problems We Had to Overcome

Throughout our project, we encountered myriad problems that promoted the relationship between us and built a strong ability for problem-solving. First off, we took a lot of time picking and arguing the main topic of our Cyberfair project. We had to figure out a topic that had some tiedly relation to Taiwan and had also satisfied some of the SDGS goals but not repeating what the others had done in the past. Therefore, there some technological issues happen during the interview. The interview recording didn’t work well, which made the editing process tricky. The background music was noise, which also took time to fix the sound quality. In overcoming these challenges, our group learned to collaborate with each other and to solve problems in an orderly way, which makes our team a capable group.

Our Project Sound Bite

Participating in International Schools CyberFair lets us explore other new innovative subjects rather than traditional-style education.

Our Project and content standards, required coursework and curriculum requirements

To establish the goal of allowing more people to understand the concept of environmental conservation and sustainable development, we used different methods to collect data and information about the study of environmental consciousness. We gathered the information by interviewing experts in sustainable development for direct and reliable information. We had arranged and confirmed the information we collected, this made us deliver precise and accurate information that was backed up by verifiable facts and specific proof.his enabled us to present accurate and precise information, supported by concrete evidence and specific facts. Furthermore, for us to understand people’s knowledge about sustainable development and environmental conversation, we had to send out a survey and utilize the data that had been collected. We sent out a survey to people who had different ages, different jobs..etc, which allowed us to understand the knowledge different people have, this benefited our research by increasing the collected data range, in total we received 351 responses, which allowed us to understand people’s knowledge on the topic of sustainable development better. Our school contained the SDGs knowledge in lots of classes, and our topic is related to the number 12 SDGs goals, responses, consumption, and production. Studying this topic allows us to understand the real concept of how the real cases of sustainable development function, which are the things that the school hopes we can learn. The project also allowed us to discover that every human can play an important role in environmental conservation, and using sustainable development items is one way to achieve the goal. Using the internet to learn also benefits us when we are collecting the data, it is much faster and more efficient compared to traditional methods, and lots of data and information can be collected easily.
