Peer review
A delegation of 16 students from Taipei City, alongside a project teacher and administrators, arrived in San Jose last month to present their Science, Technology, Arts, and Math (STEAM) projects to their peers at Silicon Valley Career Technical Education (SVCTE). SVCTE is run by the Metropolitan Education District, aka MetroED, which career technical education for students in the Campbell Union High School District, among others.
“For the past five years, SVCTE has partnered with our sister schools in Taipei City and New Taipei City,” said Kiran Grewal, MetroED’s assistant superintendent of educational services. “This relationship is significant because it aligns with MetroED’s mission to prepare students for success in a global economy.”
Before traveling abroad, each student was required to go through a review process with professors in Taipei. Their projects included building a medical assistant robot, creating new waste disposal solutions, improving environmental sustainability and designing a response-time training system for the elderly.
