Making a pair of chopsticks from Taiwan cypress wood

To put into consideration both environmental and cultural experience, I think chopsticks will be the best representation. Chopsticks are shaped as pairs of equal length sticks that have been used as the eating utensil in Chinese history for at least two thousand years. Especially, we could use local-grown wood to make chopstick to highlight our “environmental protection” and “maker” specialties.

We help students participate in international exchange.

Rainwater harvesting system

To reply Global Warming and Climate Change, we built a Rainwater Harvesting System four years ago. The system can save 15 tons of rainwater to irrigate butterfly flowers and host plants. (Reference: https://ecodaping.blogspot.tw/2015/07/us-taiwan-eco-campus.html) Therefore the garden is rich in butterfly diversity. According to our investigation, there are about 40 kinds of butterfly on the campus.

Butterflies will come when flowers in efflorescence. 

Signing on the World Map drawn by students

The world map is drawn by children and teachers. In the start, children draw crisscross grids on the wall. Then they outline each continent and each country on earth. The next step is to color each country (Reference: https://ecodaping.blogspot.tw/2015/12/blog-post.html). Finally, we stamp our palm and foot prints on the wall. I really appreciate my coworker, Teacher Liu, who is the artistic director for the world map. We give the map a name: “Keep the world in Daping”. By the way, the maps of Taiwan and Miaoli County are drawn by me.
