Description of Our Community: Sanyu Elementary School was founded in 1993 and is located at the foot of Yangming Mountain, which has rich natural resources. From the windows of each classroom, we can see green mountains, trees and even hear songs of birds. Our school also has a rainwater recycling house. Moreover, we have established Taipei City School Meteorological Observatory, which shows our school values environmental protection. Tianmu sport park is located near Sanyu Elementary School, where people can go to exercise and breathe fresh air. Walking along the Tianmu ancient path we can get close to the mountain and feel comfortable and cool. The reason why the air near the school is good is that Taipei city provides free electric buses for local residents, and this can greatly reduce air pollution.
Project Description: Tianmu White House is a historic monument. When Korean War broke out in 1950s, the United States and the Republic of China signed the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty. In order to settle the American troops in Taiwan, the government built the houses and dormitories for them. After the United States severed diplomatic ties with the Republic of China, the U.S. troops were withdrawn from Taiwan. The four U.S. military dormitories, each of which occupies an area of hundreds of square meters, were sold one after another and converted into modern buildings. The so-called Tianmu White House is now the only precious one left. In order to let the residents who used to live there regain the memory of living there at that time, we have used technologies of 3D printer to print out and compare the models of U.S. military dormitories built by the government in 1950s and only Tianmu White House left, so that we can know more about Tianmu White House, the only one city-level historic site, which is precious and beautiful.
