What a blast! CyberpunK #8020 and Raid Zero #4253 hosted the very first FRC Taiwan Research Conference at Taipei American school on 8/31. We welcomed 25 teams (over 300 students!) across Taiwan to a packed day of learning and sharing through several exciting activities. Through this event, we hope to let FRC teams have the chance to share their valuable engineering researches and encourage more to discover and innovate in FRC robots.

In the summer of 2024, CyberpunK was invited to hold two STEM robotics camps to bridge the digital divide and inspire children’s passion for engineering. One is with our long-term partner – the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF) in Taipei. The other is our new partner Francis Xavier Home for Children and Juvenile in Miaoli County, made possible through the invitation of our sponsor – ILITEK. 

Our team was honored to be invited to the Taipei AI Education Festival at the National Taiwan Science Education Center on June 15, 2024. During the event, we had the opportunity to present our achievements in implementing AI on FRC robotics. 

CyberpunK collaborated with ASUS to hold the first-ever PINBO robotics competition at Yi-Shiue Junior High School on May 25th and June 1st, 2024. CyberpunK designed a total of two competition themes: Tide Turners & Siege and Conquer. Our team hopes to inspire young kids’ passion in robotics and incorporate the values of Coopertition® in the game design to encourage collaboration between teams.

CyberpunK held one of our K-6 STEM program at Wenchang and Hushan Elementary School on December 9 and 16, 2023. This time, we let more students explore and discover with our "Fidget Spinner". (This course has reached out to over 100+ students so far.) 

CyberpunK developed a model of “Telescope” , inspired by common FRC mechanisms. Teacher Mrs. Hsu use our course meterials in her physics class, engaging students in observation and experimentation. We impacted 120+ students though this new method, and are glad to see students enjoying this new way of learning.

CyberpunK held a second Engineering course at Shulin Elementary School with Fidget Spinners. We made new animations, found another way to assemble the fidget spinners, and optimized our codes in Scratch lessons. 

CyberpunK uses “Bearing” as the theme for this brand new engineering course at Juguang Elementary School. We started from theory, assembled the fidget spinner, and wrote simulation programs. The kids had an unforgettable memory and enjoyed the course.

During 7/12~7/15, we held a summer robotics camp at Taiwan Fund for Children & Families, reaching vulnerable kids & families. We taught a comprehensive and progressive Lego EV3 course, covering all the basics and encouraging them to be creative. 

During 10/16~10/17, 10/23, we held a summer camp at Hushan Elementary School. We designed several innovative courses about EV3 Robots including Sumo Robot, tracking car... We also taught kids basic programming logic through board games. Kids learned a lot about STEM and had a great time!

During 1/28~1/29, we held a camp at Wenlin Elementary School. We taught the kids to draw CAD diagrams, program with scratch, and make their own chatbot. Kids learned a lot about STEM and had a great time!

During 8/3~8/7, our team cooperated with Team#6947 Savage Tumaz to hold a summer camp for "Taiwan Fund for Children & Families". In our class, we taught the kids how to program by playing a board game and how to build up EV3 robots on their own! Let the children feel a sense of accomplishment and have a basic capability of making robots.
