Experimenting at Experimental High School

Since NEHS hosted the international chemistry activity series “Chemistry Delivery Service---Experimenting at Experimental High School” in 2011, receiving an enthusiastic response from the outside world, the NEHS-hosted “Experiments at Experimental High School” event became a junior- and senior- high school science experimentation annual event in the Hsinchu area. This year, to promote popular science education programs and to let more students have the opportunity to experience the fun in scientific experiments, the administrative section hosted the “Experimenting at Experimental High School” event on June 6th (Saturday), attracting high school students and parents from the Hsinchu and Miaoli areas and community, leading to a total participation of almost a thousand. This event has levels hosted by H202, H203, and H204 classes, and also incorporates booths hosted by the bilingual and middle school departments for the first time. There were 6 chemistry levels, 7 physics levels, and 3 biology levels for a total of 21 levels, each of them astounding, making students who love doing and watching experiments completely hooked. In particular, this event included a math level for the first time, with freshmen Yan-Xiang Chang, Xuan-Chu Chen, Yuan Zheng, and Yang-He Wu hosting the “Archimedean Polyhedron Device” level. The school also invited Professor Hong-Ren Jiang as the popular science lecture speaker of “Manufacturing Science maker Groups and Science Devices.”

Taiwan East Coast Bike Trip is a Success

To encourage this year's ninth grade graduates, who were busy studying for the Comprehensive Assessment Program for Junior High School Students (CAP), to get into shape, develop their physical endurance, and promote physical and mental development, the Office of Student Affairs held a Nan-Liao 17 km-Coastline Bike Tour especially for the class on Tuesday, May 26, after the CAP had ended. Instructor Zhou Shi-Cheng and 9th grade homeroom teachers from the Office of Student Affairs led the 34-km round bike trip around the Nan-Liao coastline. In addition, the Office of Student Affairs painstakingly planned out the “Taiwan East Coast Bike Ride” from May 27th to 29th, challenging the 9th graders to continually bike 155 km within 3 days in a grand bike tour, right after the 34-km Nan-Liao trip just a day before. Although it was windy and rainy the whole time, the ninth grade students all courageously strived to challenge themselves, leaving a memorable, glorious experience to include in their yearbooks.
