When it came to acquiring equipment and tools needed, we were very fortunate, as we were already in possession of several hardware items that became invaluable towards our completion of the project, such as Laptop computers and art tablets. The school also lent a us hand by lending us one of their state-of-the-art video cameras for recording purposes. These tools came in handy on more occasions than one. The laptop computers made the conversion and organization process of material information a lot easier than it would have been and carried a number of useful software that helped in their own way, from image processing to content production, such as Photoshop and Lightroom. Smartphones also played a huge role in the completion of the project, as it allowed teammates to stay connected not only to each other, but also to the latest information and progress. All it took was the push of a few buttons and new and essential information can immediately be shared and received by all members of the group, no matter where they are. The laptop and smartphone proved to be extremely useful items for all they have accomplished in link with the thematic project.
2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.
Each participant who participated in the International Schools Networking Expo had a mission to introduce themselves to people across the globe. In the past few months, we have started to interview key figures, collect information, organize documents, conduct field investigations, take photographs, and document.We will organize all the information about Mr. Su Wenkui on the Internet, and gradually make all our literature into a website with diversified content, and hope that through the far-reaching power of the Internet, people around the world can better understand Mr. Su Wenkui's great achievements and our community.
3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?
Making high school life more fulfilling has enriched our learning experience. Throughout the process, we've acquired additional project skills, giving us a more refined set of abilities compared to other high school students. Although our free time has become more limited, we find it very worthwhile. We get to meet different people—some proficient in document processing, others showcasing strong leadership skills—allowing us to learn from various perspectives.
4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?
The main reason why we wanted to participate in the '2024 International School Internet Expo' competition was because we were inspired by our seniors. Last year, they entered the '20223nternational Cyber Expo' competition under the theme of 'Tamkang High School Makai Expo', and they won the highest award of the year, the Gold Award, for this project. Because of the outstanding performance of the previous year's seniors, we, the younger generation, aspired to be like them and shine on the stage one day. However, although we had such ambition, our plans were delayed due to our own laziness or that of our group members. Under the supervision of the team leader, the team members began to realize the time constraint and worked hard to help each other to make the website complete.
5) Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional)
During this project, I found many things that I had never done or thought about, such as how to set up a website, compile information, etc. I found that the exchange between seniors and juniors can stimulate more ideas. This is not only more efficient, but also saves a lot of time when reviewing information. The atmosphere of brainstorming is an integral part of the process, and the feeling of moving forward towards the same goal brings more emotion to the whole project; and the amazing thing is that they were awarded the World Platinum Award last time.
