The Education Bureau stated that with the rapid development of applications such as low-Earth orbit satellites and space communications, space technology has become a new focus of global competition. To grasp industry trends, 16 vocational exploration centers, high schools, and universities have been integrated to promote an interdisciplinary talent cultivation program, allowing students to be exposed to cutting-edge technologies like rockets, satellites, and sensors from an early age.
Education Bureau Director Zhang Mingwen stated at a press conference that space technology has moved from scientific exploration to daily applications, becoming a key foundation for future infrastructure. New Taipei City will guide students from imagination and understanding to practical application through the 'space talent chain,' gradually accumulating capabilities.
The Education Bureau said the program is designed with the aspects of 'dream, development, and connection' to establish a learning path from sparking interest to connecting with the industry, which will help Taiwan strategically position itself in the international space industry at an early stage.
In terms of curriculum, the New Taipei City Government has partnered with Taiwan Xue Lian Co., Ltd. to develop teaching modules and train seed teachers, introducing courses on aerospace rockets, CubeSats, and canned satellites. Participating teachers shared that by integrating satellite engineering, students can apply programming to real-world missions, enhancing their motivation to learn.
Changshu International Innovation Senior High School, which is undertaking the program, stated that the courses help students get an early exposure to future industries and cultivate their technological literacy and career aspirations. Through hands-on assembly and understanding principles, space engineering is no longer out of reach.
The Education Bureau said that a space rocket experience camp for elementary and middle school students will be held this summer, along with the compilation of an 'Aerospace Exploration Manual' and the hosting of a space technology education exhibition, connecting resources from industry, government, and academia to continuously expand space education capacity.
