The Education Bureau today showcased multiple achievements in Maker education at a press conference, including Jinshan High School's presentation of "National Treasure AI Heat Transfer," a collaboration with the National Palace Museum. This project reinterprets cultural relic patterns with artificial intelligence, combining them with heat transfer technology for creative works, demonstrating the integration of technology and culture.
Chen Chih-che, principal of Ren'ai Elementary School in Luzhou District, accompanied by art teacher Cheng Po-wen, told CNA that this year's graduates created exclusive graduation certificates using aluminum plate metalwork. This course integrated self-affirmation, successfully stimulating children's interest and passion for learning.
Cheng Po-wen said that graduates have been leaving artistic creations at the school for over 20 years. Under the guidance of art and humanities teacher Yeh Hui-chi, graduates created exclusive three-dimensional human figure sculptures using computer graphics and laser engraving. Teacher Ko Chiao-hui used lathes, woodworking, and laser engraving to enable students to complete their creations independently.
Chen Chin-hsiung, a full-time teacher in the Advertising Design Department at Yingge Vocational High School, told CNA that diverse creations can be made through glass cutting and re-creation, computer 3D graphics combined with laser cutting, or 3D printing. The Maker spirit guides students to discover problems, discuss and solve them, transforming into a quality of literacy.
Additionally, Jinshan High School, Shifen Elementary School, and the New Pingxi Coal Mine Museum Park collaborated to develop an "Eco-friendly Sky Lantern," improving the environmental problems caused by traditional sky lanterns, balancing culture and environmental sustainability, and has obtained a patent.
Chen Yu-kuei, principal of Jinshan High School, said that the school is a core Maker education school in New Taipei City, housing the "Technology Innovation Application Education Center." Teacher Wu Chien-hsuan introduced equipment such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines and laser engraving machines to develop the "Xiao Yang Maker Express" outreach program for remote areas, and integrated it with National Palace Museum cultural education to cultivate digital creative abilities through hands-on learning.
The Education Bureau explained that this year it is promoting all-age Maker courses, collaborating with Faguangshan Community University and Tzu Chi Guanglong Day Care Center to promote intergenerational learning. It also integrates resources from the National Palace Museum, National Taiwan Science Education Center, New Taipei City Art Museum, Wugu Maker Base, and tourist factories, extending learning venues from campuses to communities and across all age groups.
