1. Description of Our Community
Taiwan's wind power community is rapidly expanding, driven by ambitious renewable energy goals and favorable geographical conditions. With a strategic focus on offshore wind farms, Taiwan aims to diversify its energy mix, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and mitigate environmental impacts. The government's policies, including feed-in tariffs and streamlined regulatory processes, have attracted significant investment from both domestic and international stakeholders. Taiwan's unique position in the Asia-Pacific region, characterized by strong, consistent offshore winds, makes it an ideal location for wind energy development. Community engagement is a vital aspect of Taiwan's wind power initiatives, with efforts to consult and collaborate with local communities to address concerns and ensure project sustainability. Public awareness campaigns, educational programs, and stakeholder consultations are integral to fostering understanding and acceptance of wind energy projects. These initiatives not only contribute to Taiwan's energy security but also position the island nation as a regional leader in sustainable development and climate action. Overall, Taiwan's wind power community embodies collaboration, innovation, and environmental stewardship, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
2. Summary of Our Project
Green energy, particularly wind power, has emerged as a significant global trend in recent years. Wind power generation is one of the prominent avenues being pursued for sustainable energy solutions, contributing to the collective effort to better preserve our planet.In addition to environmental benefits, wind energy promotes economic growth through job creation and stimulating infrastructure investment. The development of wind farms requires skilled labor for manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, thus creating employment opportunities for urban and rural areas. Moreover, wind energy projects attract investment, driving innovation and economic development in local communities. By harnessing wind energy, we can not only mitigate climate change but also foster prosperous economies through sustainable energy practices, ensuring a better future for generations to come. Also, the eleventh goal of SDGs is to build sustainable cities and communities, which shows the importance of green energy. On the other hand, based on discussions at the International Forum on Just Transition, wind power generation represents a pivotal pathway towards sustainable energy transition. With its growing prominence in global energy agendas, wind power stands as a beacon of environmentally conscious development.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
Initially, our team chose wind power generation as the project theme; however, after conducting preliminary research, we discovered some challenges that needed to be overcome. First, we found that the broad range of technologies and knowledge involved in wind power meant that the scope of the project was too broad to allow in-depth study of specific issues.To overcome this challenge, we decided to focus on specific topics to facilitate deeper research and discussion from originally focusing on renewable energy to focusing on wind power generation. Secondly, we encountered difficulties such as accessing relevant data and resources, as well as understanding the potential impacts of wind power generation on local communities. To address these issues, we plan to enhance cooperation with industry experts and relevant stakeholders to acquire more information and resources, and to better understand these impacts. Finally, we also face challenges in communicating and promoting our research findings. To overcome these obstacles,we plan to use a variety of media and channels to share our research results and raise awareness of the importance and potential of wind power.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
Our participation in CyberFair drives environmental awareness and mobilization in our local area. By delving deeper into our projects, we shed light on the fight against global warming and the urgent need for green energy. This initiative inspires a deep sense of responsibility and competence among students and community members. Through education and advocacy, we work to drive meaningful change and protect our precious natural resources for future generations.
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Nowadays, the concepts of renewable energy and education are increasingly emphasized in schools and integrated into various educational activities. Through our thematic research on wind power generation, we explore its historical development, technological innovations, advantages and disadvantages, and environmental impacts. Furthermore, we delve into the design of wind turbines, the operation of wind farms, and the potential of wind energy in mitigating climate change, providing us with the opportunity to deepen and broaden our understanding of renewable energy. This project is integrated into our school curriculum, complementing courses on environmental sustainability and energy conservation. Additionally, it offers practical applications of theoretical concepts, reinforcing our learning outcomes. While researching wind power generation, we practiced effective teamwork through collaboration and division of tasks, further enhancing our teamwork and project management skills. This enabled us to efficiently allocate tasks and achieve our research goals. To gain a deeper understanding of this research project, we utilized online resources and conducted interviews, expanding our knowledge of wind power beyond traditional textbooks, highlighting the effectiveness of learning methods based on the internet and professionals' insights. Through our efforts in studying this topic, our aim is to inspire others to embrace renewable energy solutions, contribute to a more sustainable future, and underscore the value of interdisciplinary learning in addressing contemporary issues.
