STEM
Goals:
1.Continue to carry out more than 20 "hands-on" activities to enhance students' interest in STEM and promote overall learning motivation.
2. Utilize diversified learning strategies such as "POE" and "design cycle" to enhance students' exploratory skills and help them apply common abilities to solve daily life problems.
3. Focus on guiding students to practice "design cycle" during the process of improving their works to cultivate students' "scientist spirit."
4. Establish a scientific research learning center, aviation cockpit, and STEM room to create a smart campus with a strong atmosphere of scientific exploration.
5. Expand the scope of electronic online platforms and games, regularly encourage active participation of students, promote and create a culture of autonomous learning and positive culture.
6. Continue to offer English-speaking classes to teach STEM courses in English, enhance students' English proficiency, and let them learn more vocabulary related to science and technology in daily life.
7. Continue to apply for the "Fun IT Learning Program" to improve technology equipment and provide students with more diversified learning experiences.
