    FORMOSA Science Exploration Camp

    In recent years, awareness of environmental protection and energy conservation and carbon reduction has been on the rise. The world is actively promoting the development of green energy. To assist in promoting scientific education domestically, the FORMOSA Science Exploration Camp is organized to help students learn the methods of inquiry and hands-on exploration. Through this program, students can gain a deeper understanding of green energy and enrich their learning experiences. The aim is to encourage young learners to engage in scientific research and promote the popularization of science education.

    National Huwei University of Science and Technology, in collaboration with National Huwei High School, is committed to serving the community and nurturing future technology leaders. They are actively promoting various science camps and leveraging the unique Science Exploration Hall at Huwei High School, combined with university resources.

    A group of university professors and Huwei High School teachers have carefully designed activities that integrate basic scientific knowledge taught at the junior high level with readily available materials from daily life and modern emerging technologies. Following the success of the "Far-sighted Formosa Plastics Science Camp" with over 600 elementary school students, the exclusive "FORMOSA Science Exploration Camp" for junior high school students is now here! This summer, in collaboration with Formosa Plastics Corporation, National Huwei University of Science and Technology, and Huwei High School are organizing the "FORMOSA Science Exploration Camp" to promote scientific education.
