Chishanyan area is adjacent to Waishuang River and Shilin. Located in Shilin District of Taipei City, we are Sanyu Elementary School, which is an outstanding recognized by the Ministry of Education as the “2020 Taipei City 111 Beanchmark School”. Sanyu’s mission is to provide the students with a learning atmosphere in which they can 'prosper toward self-realization' and achieve a balance of 'health, harmony, study'.

2. Summary of Our Project
The main purpose of our project is to understand the problems faced by the river around our communities. For example, environmental protection groups appeal to the conversation of environmental ecology, while the residents protest against them appeal to safety. There is a significant difference in ideas between the two. We hope that we can help maintain this river in our living circle, so that this river can bring everyone closer and become more attached to life, enabling the residents to coexist with it.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
1. There are very few introductions and information related to Huang River on the internet, making it difficult to find useful information; 2. Many students usually participate in many after-school clubs and many students’ classes overlap with the Cyberfair project, so we had to share the work. 3. We could not find the plant we were looking for. We use the APP on the tablet to identify the plant species for us.

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
After we took the children to visit the Huang River, we used a poster board to ask the children to write down observations or questions about their visit to the Huang River. Afterwards, we carried out school-wide activities to enable the whole schoolteachers and students to converse with us through post-it notes and to let everyone know more about the Huang River and protect and care for the river environment.
