CyberpunK launched the TTT (Train The Trainer) program this year to expand our program’s to more communities, spreading STEM education further. In collaboration with Taiwan Mobile, we ran a training session to equip their volunteers with our PINBO robotics course. Through this approach, we are able to overcome the constraints of time and distance, bringing STEM education to more children.
CyberpunK 今年啟動了 TTT(Train The Trainer)計畫,以將我們的課程拓展到更多地方,進一步推廣 STEM 教育。透過與台灣大哥大的合作,我們為他們的志工舉辦了一場培訓課程,使其能夠教授我們的 PINBO 機器人課程。透過這種方式,我們得以突破時間與距離的限制,將 STEM 教育帶給更多的孩子。
This summer, we brought this program to Lufeng Elementary School in Changhua, Jieshou Elementary School in Matsu, and Danang Elementary School in Miaoli.
Since the participants were younger compared to the junior high students we had worked with before, we adjusted the course content accordingly. During the robot design process, we provided more step-by-step guidance and offered model robots as references. Still, younger children are often full of surprising creativity—one student even combined gears with a worm gear to create an innovative design that we had never seen before.
今年夏天,我們將這項課程帶到了彰化的陸豐國小、馬祖的介壽國小,以及苗栗的大南國小。
由於參與的學生年齡比我們先前合作的國中生更小,因此我們也相應地調整了課程內容。在機器人設計的過程中,我們提供了更多逐步的引導,並準備了示範機器人供學生參考。儘管如此,年紀更小的孩子往往充滿令人驚喜的創意——其中一位學生甚至將齒輪與蝸桿結合,創造出我們從未見過的創新設計。
For the competition, we modified some of the rules to make the challenges more accessible. As a result, the students often achieved impressively high scores. To our amazement, the robots built by these elementary school students were no less impressive than those of junior high students, and in many cases, featured even greater creativity and variety. In terms of strategy, many teams also learned to make smart decisions during matches to maximize their chances of winning.
在比賽方面,我們修該了部分的規則,讓整體的難易度變得更容易,他們也因此屢屢得到前所未見的高分。我們驚奇的發現,這些國小生們雖然可能年紀較小,但做出來的成品決不遜於國中生,甚至來有了更多樣的創新設計。在比賽策略方面,也有許多隊伍在一場場的比賽中做出對自己最有利的決策,以贏得比賽的勝利。
Thanks to our collaboration with Taiwan Mobile in this Train The Trainer project, we are able to expand our impact and guide young minds passionate about mechanical design, helping them joyfully begin their journey toward pursuing their dreams.
多虧了在這次 Train The Trainer 計畫中與台灣大哥大的合作,我們得以拓展影響力,並引導那些對機械設計充滿熱情的年輕學子,讓他們開心地踏上追尋夢想的旅程。
