participating in the competition. There were nine cross-school teams from a total
of 47 schools, with 210 people in all. Elderly and advisors accounted for 87 of
the participants, and students accounted for 123. The activity is popular and
supported by the Aboriginal Association and by Aboriginal TV. It is one of the
science education activities which junior high and elementary school aboriginal
students participate in each year. In the past few years, more than 500 aboriginal
students from 12 tribes have participated. The research course of the science
exhibition includes learning content about traditional culture. Tribal elders
analyze scientific theories to prepare research reports and to produce 3-minute
research films which are uploaded to the cloud platform. This science education
award allows aboriginal students to use modern science methods and theories to
verify ancient traditional techniques, thereby retaining the history and traditional
craft of their own tribe. The outstanding results over the years have become
supplementary teaching material related to science and culture for schools.
