【TCS Experiential Learning Friday | G8 A Day of Exploration at the Library】
This visit to the Taoyuan Public Library became a journey of slow discovery. Students moved through the space—from the Green Spiral and reading areas to themed shelves and quiet corners. One highlight was the exhibition Rediscovering Taiwan: Chen Cheng-po’s 130th Birthday Anniversary Exhibition, where students paused to observe colour, composition, and the stories rooted in land and history. The open atrium, known as the “Tree of Life,” left a strong impression. In a sp

【TCS Experiential Learning Friday | G9 AI Statistical Thinking】
This G9 AI Statistical Thinking session looked very different from a traditional math or statistics class. Instead of long formula-based instruction or fixed answers, learning took place through a series of logic-based games that emphasized thinking, strategy, and choice. Each activity required teamwork, discussion, and real-time decision-making. Students worked with limited information and time, evaluating risk, adjusting strategies, and explaining the reasoning behind th

【TCS Experiential Learning Friday | G7 Strength & Softness: Woodworking & Weaving】
In this scarf-making experience, students didn’t begin with weaving. G7 students started with wood and copper nails—building their own weaving peg boards first, then using what they made to turn yarn into finished pieces. Sawing, sanding, measuring, hammering— each focused expression marked a step in a journey from nothing to something. With his signature humour, Mr. Lucio guided the class carefully, showing students how to space the nails, hold the hammer safely, and cont

In every time slot and every detail, we could see the dedication, effort, and growth behind each student’s work. We since
