Light Pioneer

With the launch of the “Light Pioneer” program in 2016, we have rolled out three initiatives, namely “High-tech Adventure,” “Digital Interactive Classroom,” and “Future Light Camp,” and conducted these events at rural schools in Miaoli County, in hopes of bridging the digital gap and overcoming educational inequality between urban and rural areas alongside our customers and local universities with our core products and expertise to balance resources for coding education in rural areas, initiate efforts to introduce coding to students, teach children how to think and reason, and enhance their logical thinking skills.

Moreover, in order to practice Goal 1-No Poverty, Goal 4-Quality Education, and Goal 17-Partnerships for the Goals in the UN 17 SDGs, "Light Pioneer" has been implemented in 2016. Through the following trilogy, we hope every student shares the same education quality and advantages of technology despite his or her wealth, social status or geographical location.

Episode 1 : High-tech Adventure

In order to narrow the digital divide, Coretronic have Invited rural students and teachers to visit Coretronic's Hsinchu Headquarter and Chunan Office since 2016. We do hope through High-tech Adventure, students and teachers can acquire latest information and knowledge about advanced technology and related products. What's more, by experiencing high-tech products, teachers may create new teaching approaches to improve students' learning motivation and efficiency.

Episode 3 : Future Light Camp 1.0

Coretronic's Firefly Volunteer Team and IM-specific volunteer team from National United University will hold Future Light Camp in rural schools together. We will make good use of all devices in the digital interactive classroom to teach rural students basic/advanced computer programming, film editing, Google VR cardboard assembly, drone training, and mBot courses.

Episode 3 : Future Light Camp 2.0

In 2022, computer programming has been included in the 2019 Curriculum Structure. To balance the learning resources and enable students in rural areas to learn computer programming, we have collaborated with National Yangming Chao Tung University and Papacode to launch Future Light Camp 2.0. All camp volunteers must undergo 20-hour training courses before the camp, so that they can serve as camp course instructors or assistants.

  • First Semester (15-hour training courses in fall semester for fourth to sixth grade students at elementary schools in Miaoli County): Coding-related board games such as Coding Ocean, Musical Chair, Loop Drawing and Cup Stacking were first used to spark the interest in coding in the children. Abstract and difficult coding concepts such as sequence, instruction debugging, loop, conditional judgment, function were woven into the games to enable the children to learn while playing. Finally, the children were guided to complete the coding class for the first semester of their first year in junior high in advance through problem-oriented computer programming learning course, Scratch.

  • Second Semester (15-hour training courses in spring semester for fourth to sixth grade students at elementary schools in Miaoli County). By conducting Coding-related board games (Advanced Coding Ocean and CO.DECODE), creative training programs (Animal ABC and Communication with Limitation), and problem-oriented computer programming learning course, Scratch, children are able to comprehend concepts such as "else if," infinite loops, AI recognition principles, message definition, and encryption principles. They will practice debugging instructions, break down problems for implementation, and collaboratively develop two game programs as a team. This initiative aims to help children get ahead in their programming curriculum, covering the content from the second half of the first year of junior high school to the first half of the second year.
