In the first three years of the plan's operation, we met Mr. Guo Yuzhang of Xincen Elementary School in a study conducted by the former information volunteer team of the project. When he saw the relevant content about our team's handling of LEGO EV3 robot study on the Internet, he expressed to the team that his son had participated in the robot summer camp in school children are interested in giving them more opportunities to experience and learn robots. However, they find that a set of LEGO EV3 robots is already a heavy burden for ordinary families, not to mention the relatively weak families and rural schools. Therefore, the chance to communicate with each other in the study has opened the germination opportunity of the plan Mr. Guo Yuzhang also sought interested students to form a team to participate in the Far East University Robot Innovation and Innovation Competition organized by the team. After more than a few exchanges with Xincen Elementary School, he not only studied the robot's own procedures and operation, but also found more diversified teaching methods and contents such as ecological conservation and local characteristics. It also laid the foundation for the SDGs "elimination of inequality" and "quality education" are the two main themes. In addition, more partner schools will set up satellite bases to implement the program.
After the exchange with Xincen Elementary School, he also made friends with more "Guo" teachers from different elementary schools, namely, Mr. Guo Weiwen from Cigu District Hougang Elementary School and Mr. Guo Minzhan from Guanmiao District Wujia Elementary School. After getting to know more teachers from different schools, it was found that each school promoted robot education and informal education, and even computer classrooms in information environment What different difficulties. Take Wujia Elementary School as an example. In terms of repurchasing resources, Mr. Guo Minzhan jokingly said that his school was not in the city or in the countryside. Therefore, it was more difficult to obtain subsidies for the acquisition of equipment than most of the schools in rural areas. Therefore, our team assisted Wujia Elementary School in robot teaching by borrowing equipment, and assisted the school to purchase equipment from manufacturers at a lower price. At present, with the gradual purchase and improvement of robots and information equipment in Wujia Elementary School, and in cooperation with Mr. Guo Minzhan, the class system which originally only had one class of robots was planned into primary class and advanced class, which can not only grasp the absorption degree of each student more appropriately, but also help elementary school teachers establish their own teaching methods to achieve the goal of cultivating seed teachers. The problem encountered in Hougang Elementary School was that when Mr. Guo Weiwen first took over as the information teacher of the school, when he saw that there were only small MS Paint, WORD and other software in computer class each semester, he saw the mBot robot study conducted by Far East University of science and technology in April 2018. He found that the robot not only met the information education required by the Curriculum Guidelines of 12-Year Basic Education This kind of novel and interesting teaching materials can arouse students' interest in learning. After purchasing a set of equipment from his own pocket, he took it to the school to test and play with several children. He took part in many competitions in a row with the spirit of being brave and fearless. After learning from the experience, he helped to purchase 10 sets of mBot robot equipment in November 2018, and officially opened STEAM club in March 2019, and subsequently purchased LEGO EV3 robots and Wujia Elementary School and later Hougang Elementary School joined the program as partner schools.
In Xincen Elementary School, although he did not join the partner school of the project, he still discussed with Mr. Guo Yuzhang what kind of teaching the robot can bring to the children in addition to the programming aspect. In particular, in terms of creative development, we combined the horseshoe crab ecology to design robot interactive games, and advanced to FLLJR competition to train students not only for programming, but also for creative thinking and team cooperation. Finally, they can have more opportunities to communicate with other schools during the competition. This project also aims to find more effective directions in quality education. At the same time, we will promote robot and information education, and explore more rural elementary schools that need resources and teacher training.
Since the project started operation this year, it has become a partner school with Houbi District Houbi Elementary School, Sinhua District Naba Elementary School, Cigu District Hougang Elementary School, Lioujia District Linfeng Elementary School, Yanshuei District Renguang Elementary School and Guanmiao District Wujia Elementary School at different times. The difficulties and problems encountered by each school are different. However, with the support of the Ministry of Education and the promotion of teachers in various schools, one after another helps partner schools to establish a good learning environment and resources. By, the competition teams launched by the partner schools have also achieved brilliant results in different competitions, and have received praise and support from all sides. They have also helped the project to be more in line with the SDGs of "elimination of inequality" and "quality education".
