The "2025 New Taipei STEM Science, Math, Information Technology and Intelligent Robotics Competition," jointly organized by the Sanchong District Office of New Taipei City and Gezhi High School, was held in grand style at Gezhi High School on February 23, drawing 84 teams and 158 elementary, junior high, and senior high students from New Taipei, Taipei, Keelung, and Taoyuan. The event aims to advance STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and spark students' interest in robotics, wind-powered green energy, and mathematical and information sciences. The competition was co-organized by the APRA Asia-Pacific Robot Association, Happy Robot Co., Ltd., Guang Tian International Co., Ltd., the Taiwan Yushan Robotics Association, and the Asia-Pacific Energy & Science Education Association, working together for technology education.
Among the events, the "KidWind Wind Energy Creative Invitational" was a featured highlight. Professor Chou Chien-heng, Chairman of the Asia-Pacific Energy & Science Education Association, gave a special lecture guiding students on blade design and tip speed ratio. Working in teams, students soaked balsa wood blades in water and shaped them into curved profiles, then measured power output in a wind tunnel using Vernier energy sensors and variable resistors — with victory going to the team generating the most electricity. The event tested not only students' understanding of green-energy technology, but also their creativity and practical skills. Beyond KidWind, the competition featured five major events including the VSMT bridge structural load competition and the LEGO intelligent robot sumo competition, helping students build scientific literacy through hands-on practice.
Gezhi High School Director of Academic Affairs Pan Kuo-cheng noted that the event is more than a competition — it is a platform for learning and growth, where teamwork and problem solving unlock students' boundless potential. The competition offers New Taipei students an excellent opportunity to develop into the technology talent of tomorrow. The co-organizers also hope the event will inspire more young people to take an interest in STEM fields, laying the groundwork for future technological development. The atmosphere on site was electric, and the students' creativity and technical skill were truly impressive!
