Today is World Mosquito Day! The United States and Taiwan have a long history of STEM cooperation and academic exchange, including through the “GLOBE” program (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment). Did you know that 61 schools in Taiwan participate in the GLOBE program? From summer 2020 to spring 2021, AIT worked with Hsin Tien Senior High School and Xin Wu Senior High School to collect data on mosquitos and help combat mosquito-borne diseases.

你的學校是GLOBE(全球學習與觀測裨益環境計畫)學校嗎?

上週六超過二十名高中自然老師從台灣各地來到中壢，參加AIT與中央大學合辦的「如何教授科學寫作工作坊」。前英語教育研究員Bob Powell以二十多年來在美國指導雙語學生的經驗，分享撰寫英語科學報告的核心元素，以及如何幫助學生一磚一瓦建立學術寫作的能力。此外他也以卡內基訓練技巧，傳授老師各種英語簡報技巧。

每年台灣GLOBE學生都會在國際科學線上研討會(IVSS)提交科學研究報告，並積極參加GLOBE學生科學研究展覽。今天的課程將幫助GLOBE教師和學生為這些GLOBE科學活動做更好的準備。GLOBE計畫使台灣師生能夠與全球共124個參與國交流並分享科學數據。立馬了解GLOBE計畫：https://www.globe.gov/de/about/overview #GLOBE #Environment #science

Are you studying in a Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) school? Last Saturday over 20 GLOBE Program teachers from across Taiwan came together in Zhongli to participate in a workshop co-hosted by AIT and National Central University! Drawing from over 20 years of experience teaching bilingual students in the U.S., former English Language Fellow Bob Powell focused on the essential elements in an English science report, as well as the essential building blocks to lay down a solid foundation for students to ultimately achieve successful academic writing. Additionally he shared a few English presentation skills by referring to Dale Carnegie’s methods. Each year, GLOBE students submit science research reports as part of the International Virtual Science Symposium and participate in GLOBE student research exhibitions. The class helps teachers better prepare their students for these GLOBE science activities. The GLOBE project enables Taiwan teachers and students to connect and share scientific data with GLOBE participants in 124 participating countries.
