1. Description of Our Community

Through education, advocacy, and innovative solutions, we aim to promote responsible pet ownership, prevent abandonment, and support adoption efforts. By leveraging technology, community engagement, and policy advocacy, we strive to create a compassionate society where stray animals are no longer neglected but instead given the opportunity to find a permanent and loving home.

2. Summary of Our Project

Our International Schools CyberFair web project focuses on the protection and adoption of stray animals, aiming to raise public awareness and drive real action to improve their lives. We combine technology, community engagement, and education to share information, promote adoption programs, and encourage more people to get involved in animal welfare efforts.

Our project covers key aspects such as advocating for 'Adopt, Don’t Shop,' developing smart tracking systems to manage stray animals, and using social media and school education to enhance awareness of responsible pet ownership. Additionally, we collaborate with rescue organizations and communities to organize fundraising events and volunteer activities to support shelters and animals in need.

Through this project, we aim to build a more influential platform that encourages people to take action in helping stray animals. By integrating technology and compassion, we hope to ensure that every stray animal can find a loving home.

Additionally, we utilized our home internet connections, including ADSL, TV network, and local network, to facilitate our work. To communicate and collaborate with one another, we relied on communication software such as LINE and Facebook. These platforms allowed us to share photos and discuss project-related.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome

During our project, we encountered many challenges, especially at the beginning. With so many tasks to handle, we failed to properly allocate responsibilities among team members, leading to confusion and inefficiency. As the project progressed, we realized the importance of better teamwork and sought help from our teacher. With their guidance, we reorganized our task distribution, ensuring that each member had a clear role, which ultimately helped us move forward successfully.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

Participating in the International Schools CyberFair has given us the opportunity to use technology and community collaboration to raise awareness about stray animals and promote adoption and protection efforts. Through this project, we hope to create a more compassionate and responsible society where every stray animal can find a loving home.

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?

Our CyberFair project integrates AI, information technology, civic education, language skills, and social sciences, aligning with interdisciplinary learning standards. We applied AI and data analysis to track stray animals, designed websites and social media campaigns to promote adoption, and studied animal protection policies to deepen our understanding of civic responsibility.

Through this project, we developed skills in data collection, web development, project management, and public speaking. We also strengthened teamwork concepts such as task distribution, time management, and effective communication. Additionally, we gained a deeper understanding of how animal protection, technology, and community engagement are interconnected, enhancing our problem-solving abilities.

This project meets our school’s learning objectives by allowing us to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world context. We discovered that education extends beyond textbooks and that we, as students, can take action to create meaningful change. We realized that we are not just learners but also changemakers who can contribute to animal welfare and social progress.

Using the Internet for research and learning has enabled us to access information faster, connect with external resources, and participate in global initiatives, making education more interactive and impactful than traditional methods. CyberFair has shown us that when learning and action come together, we can make a real difference in society.

1) What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your CyberFair project?

In our CyberFair project, we utilized various information tools and technologies to conduct research and presentations. We primarily used desktop computers for data organization, website design, and multimedia production. Additionally, we captured images of stray animals using smartphones and created promotional videos with editing software to raise public awareness of animal protection. To ensure accurate background information, we referred to news reports and animal welfare websites.**

These tools significantly improved our efficiency, especially website design software and data analysis tools, which enabled us to build an information platform and encourage public participation in animal protection efforts. Our school provided basic equipment and software, while some interview devices came from our personal resources. We found that the most valuable tools were digital media and social platforms, as they allowed us to quickly spread information and attract more attention to the issue of stray animals.**

By utilizing these technologies, we not only enhanced the quality of our project but also strengthened our ability to apply information technology, enabling us to advocate for stray animal protection more effectively.

2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

When working on this project, we learned many things that weren’t taught in school. More importantly, we learned how to create a web page we want by searching for the needed materials among endless files, organizing, categorizing and typesetting them, as well as working on the sizing, composition and the enhancement of images, labeling, inserting inline frames and brushing. We learned that it is important to plan ahead before an interview, to take notes and record it, in order to present all the information collected. These tasks can’t be achieved by one person but only by dividing them among all the team members. Therefore, we’ve realized that cooperation and coordination between team members are what contribute to the success of this project.

3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?

Our CyberFair project has raised public awareness of stray animal issues through our website, promoting adoption and protection efforts. Our site has helped more people understand how they can contribute to helping stray animals.

Through this project, we have not only changed our community’s perspective on stray animals but also realized our own ability to make a difference. We hope our website will continue to have an impact, encouraging more people to join the cause and create a more compassionate society.

4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

In our CyberFair project, we received strong community support, including animal welfare volunteers, veterinarians, teachers, and parents, who provided valuable insights and resources to help us successfully execute our project.

Animal Welfare Volunteers & Rescue Organizations: They shared practical experience and guided us in rescue and adoption events, deepening our understanding of stray animal issues.

Veterinarians & Experts: Interviews with veterinarians provided key insights into stray animal health and behavior, enriching our website content for pet owners.

Teachers & Parents: Teachers helped structure our research, while parents connected us with resources and expanded our project’s reach.

Online Support & Remote Collaboration: We engaged with global animal welfare experts via forums and social media, broadening our project's international perspective.

We sincerely thank all those who supported us—your kindness and dedication have helped us make a real difference in the lives of stray animals!

5) Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional)

Through our CyberFair project, we gained valuable insights into teamwork, technology, and community engagement.

Technology’s Role in Animal Welfare We discovered that AI and IoT could do more than raise awareness—they provide real-time health monitoring and smart adoption solutions, making a tangible impact on stray animal welfare.

The Importance of Teamwork Initially, we struggled with task allocation and communication, but by improving collaboration and adaptability, we became more efficient and organized.

Unexpected Community Support We were amazed by the enthusiasm of veterinarians, animal shelters, and local organizations, who not only offered expert advice but also helped expand our project’s reach.

This experience taught us that technology, education, and advocacy combined can drive meaningful change. Our efforts were even recognized by animal welfare groups, reinforcing that students can be changemakers, making a real-world impact on stray animal protection.
