Parent-Child Co-Learning micro:bit Workshop

Inspiring New Perspectives on Sustainable Energy

[Yunlin Report] Led by project leader Lin Zheng-Min, and supported by YunNeng Wind Power Co., Ltd., a parent-child event titled "Chasing the Wind, Exploring Wind Power" was held on September 14, 2025, at the Yunlin Official Residence Children's Center.

The event was planned by Lin Geng-Yi, a master’s student at the Department of Electronics, National Formosa University. Two students, Fan Zhi-Yun from the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Formosa University and Wang Jie-Ru from the Department of Food, Nutrition, and Health Biotechnology at Asia University, collaborated across schools to guide children and parents in learning about wind power using micro:bit and wind power modules. Through hands-on activities and interactive Q&A sessions, participants were introduced to the second-largest offshore wind farm in Taiwan operated by YunNeng, with detailed explanations of wind power operation principles and features of the green energy industry.

The workshop was designed with "edutainment" at its core. Children learned about wind energy conversion and basic circuitry while assembling wind power modules. Instructor Fan Zhi-Yun used carefully designed questions to guide children’s thinking and deepen their understanding of the importance of YunNeng’s offshore wind farm. Teaching assistant Wang Jie-Ru and assistant Lin Geng-Yi supported the participants on-site, ensuring a safe and enjoyable learning environment. Parents joined in the learning process, exploring green energy knowledge alongside their children, creating a warm and educational experience.

Project leader Lin Zheng-Min stated that the course not only allowed children to enjoy the fun of technological hands-on activities but also aimed to raise awareness of sustainable energy through parent-child co-learning. In the future, the team will continue to integrate local education and industry resources to organize more similar activities, enabling families to engage with technology in daily life and better understand the long-term social and environmental significance of green energy development.
