NEWS

Taiwan's green energy education achievements impress internationally! Organized and led bythe Asia-Pacific Energy & Science Education Association (AESEA)Taiwanese students traveled to the United States to participate in the "2026 KidWind World Challenge." Amidst fierce competition from nearly 550 top competitors worldwide, they swept multiple awards. Among them, Tainan's young talents delivered a dazzling performance, securing 3 world championships, 1 Judges' Choice Award, 1 KidWind Spirit Award, and 1 Blade Engineering Award. Today (30th), the Association, along with the award-winning teacher-student teams, presented their awards at the Tainan City Council meeting, where they were personally received and highly praised by Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che.

🌍 Industry-Academia Linkages Go Global; Mayor Highly Commends the Association and Teacher-Student Efforts

Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che stated during the reception that Tainan has been fully promoting smart city development and low-carbon sustainable transformation in recent years. These young talents from Tainan, led by the Association, were able to shine on an all-English international stage, which is not only a personal honor but also concrete proof of Tainan's successful integration of "industry-academia linkages, technological innovation, and sustainable low-carbon development." The Mayor particularly thankedthe Asia-Pacific Energy & Science Education Association, the principals of various schools, instructing teachers, and parents for their diligent training and full support, enabling Taiwan's science education to take root locally and lead the way to the world stage.

"Science is not just theory; it's an extension of real-life action."

Our Association (AESEA) has always upheld the educational philosophy of nurturing individual talents, hands-on inquiry, and problem-solving. Leading children from daily energy courses in schools and participating in popular science activities, all the way to winning world championships internationally, is the best example of transforming the spirit of green energy inquiry into practical action.

🏆 Top Engineering Mindset, Tainan's Young Talents Set a Brilliant Record

This year's competition highly tested engineering thinking, data analysis, and on-site practical skills. Competitors also had to explain complex engineering principles directly to international judges in an all-English environment. Under the professional training of the Association and instructing teachers, Tainan's teams demonstrated astonishing strength in each division:

🌱 Looking Ahead: Cultivating Key Talent for Sustainable Technology

In response to national energy transition policies and the global sustainable wave of ESG and SDGs, the Asia-Pacific Energy & Science Education Association will continue to work closely with various county and city governments and education bureaus in the future to deepen the integration of interdisciplinary (STEM) and sustainable energy education into curricula. We hope to expand campus practical platforms and encourage more schools to participate in international hands-on competitions like KidWind, so that green energy education is no longer just textbook theory, but rather cultivates more future talents for Taiwan who possess "local inquiry capabilities" and "an international competitive vision"!
