National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST), which has long been dedicated to promoting popular science education and University Social Responsibility (USR), recently participated in the \u201c5th Love and Kindness Carnival\u201d held at the National Taiwan Science Education Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Led by Professor Hudson Hsu from the Smart Mechatronics Bachelor Degree Program, the popular science education team joined forces with Associate Professor Chia-Wei Hsu\u2019s team from National Formosa University (NFU) to jointly promote aerospace science education. The event invited NPUST Vision Project students to serve as science volunteers, guiding parents and children through fixed-wing drone simulations and teaching coding principles using Morse code tools. By transforming difficult aerospace and physics knowledge into vivid interactive experiences, the event allowed children to feel the power of love through scientific exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This event was a key component of the \u201cTrilogy of Happiness\u201d promoted by the Little Tree Charity Association. Centered around the theme of \u201cFeeling Love: The Journey of the Soul and Science,\u201d it attracted nearly 200 children from new immigrant families and families from hollowed out farming towns and remote areas to participate in a three-day, two-night kindness camp. Through the application of science and technology, the NPUST team not only provided diverse immersive experiences but also extended the reach of science education to resource-scarce families through cross-school collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Hudson Hsu stated that \u201creceiving help, growing, and helping others in return\u201d was the guiding spirit the event\u2014 it became a very meaningful demonstration of the students\u2019 ability to transition from \u201cthose who are helped\u201d to \u201cthose who help others.\u201d Furthermore, by participating in science volunteer services, the Vision Project students were able to turn the educational support they received in the past into an opportunity to give back to society. In this way, we could see university social responsibility put to practice while also allowing scientific knowledge and humanistic care to take root.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9980,"template":"","genre":[],"colleges":[81],"visions":[31],"sdgs":[14,20,28],"class_list":["post-9975","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","colleges-program-of-artificial-intelligence-and-mechatronics","visions-platinum-society","sdgs-quality-education","sdgs-reduce-inequalities","sdgs-partnerships-for-the-goals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/9975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/9975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=9975"},{"taxonomy":"colleges","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/colleges?post=9975"},{"taxonomy":"visions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/visions?post=9975"},{"taxonomy":"sdgs","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sustainability.npust.edu.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sdgs?post=9975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
