AIT在全台偏鄉啟動「AIT希望學程」！在11和12月我們已分別於台東東海國中、新生國中、豐田國中和桃源國中為120位師生舉辦了創客課程，包括用奈米銀墨導電貼紙完成電路，組裝雷切小木屋，再用陶磁壓電片完成組裝雷切小車，並進一步了解陶磁壓電片在許多領域的運用。與此同時，國務院前英語教育研究員Robert “Bubba” Powell與傅爾布萊特英語教學助理，帶著吉他前往孩子的書屋，藉由音樂和歌唱，與學生分享學習美語的樂趣，也在過程中體驗一點美國文化。AIT致力於推廣理工科學藝術 (STEAM) 教育和美語教育，「AIT希望學程」期望全台灣更多偏鄉的孩子透過做中學了解新科技，培養解決問題的能力，同時增強雙語能力並拓展國際視野！ #孩子的書屋 #FulbrightETAProgram #AmericanEnglish #STEAMEducation #ExperientialLearning

We are so excited about AIT’s new “Learning for Hope Project” in rural Taiwan! So far, we have held four maker programs in Taitung Donghai, Hsinsheng, Fengtien and Taoyuan Junior High Schools, where students learned about new technology through hands-on projects that utilized conductive stickers, creative circuit, laser cut wood and piezoelectric energy. U.S. State Department English Language Fellow alumnus Robert “Bubba” Powell and Fulbright English Teaching Assistants showed up with their guitars to the Kid’s Bookhouse to share the fun of learning English and a little bit of American culture too! The “Learning for Hope Project” is part of AIT’s on-going support of STEAM and English language education in Taiwan. We are proud of AIT’s role in helping children in Taiwan’s rural areas develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while enhancing their English proficiency and their global vision!
