◎ How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
1.Language (Learning) Area:
Our reading competence has been improved immensely from reading and sorting out reading materials during this project. We’ve learned to express ourselves clearly from interviewing the staff and the related people. Also, our writing competence has been elevated from organizing the interview results.
2.Mathematic (Learning) Area:
Questionnaires of the usual habits and what people would observe when taking the MRT were conducted at our school fair. We used Excel to organize the data and show the survey results with graphics.
3.Science and Technology (Learning) Area:
During visiting, we’ve learned how the metro system works, such as, the train moves with the power supply from rails and how the staff ensures the security when the maintenance team checks the rail tracks.
4.Integrative Activities (Learning) Area:
Some members are good at writing, and they wrote reports from sorted information, some members are eloquent and they interviewed people during the visits, and others are creative and their creativity enriched our project. All of us contributed what we are good at and collaborated with each other to make the project complete and successful.
5.Social Studies (Learning) Area:
We learned what the etiquette of taking the MRT (Civil Ethics), and how the team designs and adjusts the MRT routes based on the environmental difference and traffic volume of each place (Geography). Besides, we also learned about the building history of each metro line from the beginning phase to the final operation phase (History).
6.Arts and Humanities (Learning) Area:
We delved into some MRT stations with special features, for example, Jiantan Station which is famous for its unique dragon boat design and the enlivened art installations surrounding Zhongshan Station.
7.Environmental Education (Learning) Area:
The government encourages citizens and tourists to take the public transport to reduce carbon emissions. Taking the MRT is an effective way to go green.

◎ In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.
We used the club activity time to look for the information about Taipei Metro and the MRT stations with special features along Tamsui-Xinyi Line near our school on the Internet. We visited the surrounding areas around those MRT stations after school and on holidays and planned a special jaunt to experience local characteristics from our visits and the information we collected. We introduced those stations with special features with posters at our school fair and promoted the etiquette of taking the MRT, for instance, yield seats to people in need and do not eat or drink on the MRT, hoping that everyone could enjoy their ride with the MRT. We designed a petition poster to invite people to follow the etiquette rules and make every MRT ride a pleasant experience. Besides, the teachers helped us to arrange several fields trips and experience activities to learn more about the operation of Taipei Metro and the ways they deal with various situations and emergency. We put the results of the field visits on the website. Through the link of our school website, we hope people not only can learn more about Taipei Metro but are willing to take the MRT to experience the enlivened and colorful life in Taipei.

◎ School Assistance and Cooperation
The school supported us a lot. We did not only make the website in the computer room the school offers, but also collected every material by using many hard equipment such as digital cameras, recorders, and computers. There were some technology problems, for example, image processing, recording file editing, web search data, web page creation, and questionnaire design, etc. The teachers also arranged some courses to make us be in progress.

◎ How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?
At our annual school fair, we set up a booth and put posters of “MRT Stations with Special Features” and “Follow the MRT Etiquette Rules” to introduce the the tourist attraction around the MRT stations with special features and things we can do to make the MRT ride enjoyable. Schoolmates, students, teachers, parents and visitors from our community were highly interested and filled out the questionnaires we made. During our visits and experience activities, the staff from Taipei Metro was friendly to explain everything and answered any kinds of our questions with patience. With all the support and encouragement, we try to encourage people to take the MRT to explore local activities and show more public awareness and follow the rules when taking the MRT.

◎ What has been or will be the impact of your project on your community?
Before, we viewed MRT only as a convenient way for transportation; however, we neglected to appreciate the architectural design stations. Through the process of collecting information, we found architectural design concepts vary from each other station. Some are designed as traditional cultural styles, while others show modern urban styles. The scenic spots around the stations also worth tourists’ visiting, such as Taipei Old North Gate and hot springs in Beitou. Also, we found that even though eating and drinking are banned on the MRT, some of the people who took our questionnaire pointed that they had seen people violated the rule. This result reminds us that everyone needs to follow the Metro etiquette so that everyone can have a pleasant travel experience by taking the MRT.

◎ What information tools and technologies did you use to complete your CyberFair project?
Our school provide almost all of the tools we need for this project, like computers, a digital camera, a video recorder, a printer, a scanner, etc. Computers and the internet are the most valuable tools for us because we used these tools and authorized software to organize documents and films and make the web page for our project. We also used smartphones to make appointments with interviewees and contact with tour guides and Beitou residents. In addition, the digital camera and the video recorder are quite useful because they captured valuable moments of the investigation.

◎ Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises
During our visits, our most amazing experience would be the field visit to Operation Control Center at Taipei Train Station. Operation Control Center, which is like the brain of the neural system of a human body, controls the entire network and system of Taipei Metro. It monitors the operation of each line and train. When we looked into the control room through the mirror, the control panel showed the screens of the platforms and the train operation. If anything happens, the control staff can immediately contact the train captain and the station master to handle various situations. The control staff works 24-hour shift to monitor the operation and when the MRT closes, the maintenance staff continues their work of track maintenance and train repair. The staff dedicates their had work to look after the metro system. We have realized it is the hard work from the devoted staff that makes Taipei Metro safe and reliable.
