1. Description of Our Community

ur selected organization is S.T.A Defense (STA ????). Composed of retired Taiwanese special forces members and experts, this civil training group is dedicated to the 'civilianization' of high-level military and tactical skills. The core mission of S.T.A Defense is to transform civil defense training into a fundamental form of civic literacy. This empowers ordinary citizens with the capabilities for battlefield awareness, self-rescue, and mutual aid when facing modern warfare or large-scale disasters. Beyond providing sophisticated, leveled training systems, S.T.A Defense actively collaborates with local communities and police departments. Through professional education, they aim to strengthen social resilience and overturn the stereotype that civil defense is synonymous with radical militarism.

2. Summary of Our Project

Focusing on Taiwan's civil defense, this project structures its website around fundamental civil defense concepts. The content integrates in-depth interviews with civil defense experts and organizations, documenting the process of 'democratizing' specialized tactical skills for civilian use and highlighting their contributions in real-world scenarios. In addition to showcasing professional gear and personal stories, the website emphasizes a 'soft yet resilient' perspective, covering topics such as financial resilience and digital psychological defense. Our goal is to overturn the misconception that civil defense is synonymous with military action, while presenting to the international community the autonomous will and spirit of solidarity with which the people of Taiwan protect their homeland.

3. Our Computer and Internet Access

A. Percentage of students using the Internet at home:more than 50%

B. Number of workstations with Internet access in the classroom:more than 6

C. Connection speed used in the classroom:dial-up modem

D. Number of years our classroom has been connected to the Internet:more than 6

4. Problems We Had To Overcome

During the initial stages of the project, we first faced the challenge of 'translation.' Since civil defense involves complex professional levels, we struggled with the conceptual structure. To address this, we analyzed interview transcripts to 'translate' specialized concepts into language accessible to high school students, successfully bridging the gap between expert knowledge and public communication. Secondly, we focused on overcoming societal stereotypes. Civil defense is often misunderstood as radical confrontation. To overturn this, our design emphasized its positive significance in disaster relief, mutual aid, and legal systems. Through expert dialogues, we re-interpreted civil defense through the core concept of 'Community,' making it more relatable to daily life. Finally, regarding resource integration, we managed a vast amount of audiovisual and textual data. We overcame inconsistencies in categorization and style by adopting a segmented presentation. This approach made the visual content clearer and more accessible for our audience.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

The essence of civil defense is not about teaching people how to fight, but about teaching 'autonomy.' Through this project, we have witnessed the gentleness found in preparation; it does not represent fear, but rather a profound commitment to our home. From first-aid skills to digital psychological defense, every small act of individual autonomy converges into a resilience that protects one another. Participating in civil defense is for the sake of love and peace—it is the process of transforming 'I' into 'We.'

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

1. All-Out Defense Education: Our website is a practical application of 'All-Out Defense.' By exploring civil defense organizations (such as the Taiwan Civil Defense Association and Kuma Academy) and linking them to the defense knowledge we learned in class, we have deepened students' understanding of civil defense.

2. Civics and Society: The core theme of civil defense emphasizes 'universal participation' and community mutual aid. This aligns with our curriculum regarding civic political participation and social resilience.

3. Health and Education: The website introduces essential first-aid skills, including CPR, burn treatment, and tourniquet use, which directly integrates with the emergency medical knowledge from our health classes.

4. Information Technology: In an era of rampant misinformation, the 'information filtering mechanisms' and 'building a mental firewall' mentioned on our site highlight the need for media literacy, empowering every student to judge the authenticity of information.

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

1. Organization and Interviewing: We learned how to conduct professional interviews with experts (such as Professor Liu) and civil groups (Kuma Academy instructors) and how to extract key points from these discussions.

2. Practical Protection Skills: We learned how to correctly use disaster prevention and safety equipment, prepare household emergency supplies (like 'Go Bags'), and developed media literacy to identify fake news.

3. Technological Application: We gained knowledge of modern defense technology, such as the TAK (Tactical Awareness Kit) system, drone tactics, and Radio Communication Equipment.

4. Digital Communication: We learned how to connect civil defense issues with daily life, transforming 'dry' or complex knowledge into engaging digital content for the website.

What group concepts did you practice?

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

1. Analogies: We compared civil defense training to 'buying insurance' or 'taking a health check-up,' turning abstract crisis awareness into manageable daily risk management.

2. Field Observations: During 'Urban Resilience Exercises,' we witnessed firsthand how community members (like village chiefs and local residents) distributed supplies. This made the term 'Social Resilience' tangible rather than just an abstract concept.

3. Reflection and Dialogue: By talking with retired special forces members and scholars, we broke the myth that 'civil defense is only for the military and police' and understood its nature as being 'firm yet flexible.'

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

(Impact on your Community) Our project has made a significant positive impact on the promotion of All-Out Defense. By establishing this civil defense education platform, we have transformed complex disaster prevention information into intuitive visual content, encouraging citizens to re-evaluate the long-neglected importance of civil defense knowledge.

Our goal is to ensure that in the event of an emergency, every citizen is equipped to respond and protect themselves. Many residents reported that through our website, they learned the exact locations of nearby air-raid shelters for the first time, mastered the art of assembling emergency kits, and improved their ability to verify information authenticity. Furthermore, the project has strengthened connections between local community leaders, police departments, fire stations, and government agencies, establishing a preliminary mutual aid network. This is more than just a learning experience; it is a practical exercise in strengthening community resilience, proving that 'civil defense is daily life' and everyone can be a guardian of their home.

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

(Involvement of Community Members) The success of this project is inseparable from the support of various experts. We conducted in-depth interviews with civil defense authorities, including Professor Liu Yu-hsi (???) and the Gomo Civil Defense (????) team, who provided professional disaster response skills and expertise.

We are especially grateful to Professor Liu, a member of the Presidential Office Whole-of-Society Defense Resilience Committee, for sharing the strategic value of civil defense in Taiwan and his personal journey in this field. Through these interviews, we gained a clearer understanding of the contributions made by civil defense organizations—from daily community safety and emergency mobilization during natural disasters to logistics coordination during military conflicts. In addition to Professor Liu’s inspiration, we also want to thank Attorney Yang Shun-lin (???), Chairman of the Taiwan Civil Defense Association. His long-standing dedication to civil defense activities was the catalyst that brought this vital mission to our attention.
