00:21.399 --> 00:23.192
Coming to this Bunun School,

00:23.415 --> 00:24.390
I was thinking that

00:24.727 --> 00:27.752
we are still part of the indigenous.

00:28.781 --> 00:32.140
So, I hope they won't forget their traditions

00:32.710 --> 00:35.514
while chasing modern technologies.

00:36.576 --> 00:40.037
I was at the 6th grade when I transferred here.

00:40.195 --> 00:40.197
Teacher Lyu taught us

00:40.197 --> 00:44.642
Teacher Lyu taught us
to make the "Indigenous Language Learning Machine"

00:44.642 --> 00:46.590
in order to get kids to learn

00:46.590 --> 00:48.696
their mother tongue

00:48.696 --> 00:51.352
by game playing or competitions.

00:51.352 --> 00:53.493
If they are learning in a more interesting way,

00:53.493 --> 00:54.588
they will not consider

00:54.588 --> 00:59.234
the process of learning the language and the traditions boring.

01:12.999 --> 01:16.506
Programming is one of the ways to support us

01:16.506 --> 01:18.865
to learn or to achieve our goals.

01:18.865 --> 01:23.863
To begin with, we attract students' attentions

01:23.863 --> 01:26.162
by teaching programming with game making.

01:26.225 --> 01:27.609
And then,

01:27.775 --> 01:29.826
we will try to introduce the curriculum

01:29.826 --> 01:32.986
by integrating it with their life experiences.

01:33.302 --> 01:35.918
What we are going to introduce today is

01:36.806 --> 01:38.817
AI Facial Recognition System.

01:40.065 --> 01:42.174
The technology is getting more and more developed.

01:42.512 --> 01:45.333
And business models are transforming gradually.

01:46.574 --> 01:48.326
When I first time heard of programming,

01:48.326 --> 01:49.918
I completely lost my mind.

01:49.920 --> 01:53.359
But I was able to understand more

01:53.359 --> 01:56.611
because we were learning it quite often.

01:57.346 --> 01:59.908
Now, there are these products in our shop.

02:00.215 --> 02:02.453
If we suddenly purchase today,

02:02.453 --> 02:03.884
there would be two more products.

02:03.884 --> 02:06.540
We need to set up the database
for these two products.

02:06.540 --> 02:07.687
So the system would recognize them.

02:08.405 --> 02:10.444
We make a project once a year.

02:10.726 --> 02:11.610
This year we are thinking that

02:11.617 --> 02:13.834
isn't shop with no staff quite up to date?

02:13.834 --> 02:15.890
And AI Facial Recognition System

02:16.058 --> 02:18.987
is happened to be popular recently.

02:19.797 --> 02:22.555
It is also an easier way for students

02:22.555 --> 02:25.314
to make the so-called Image-Based Modelling.

02:25.795 --> 02:29.828
So, I tried to teach them how to use the system

02:30.017 --> 02:31.712
for recognizing their ages,

02:32.235 --> 02:34.728
smiles, genders, and so on.

02:35.033 --> 02:36.443
The students would realize that

02:36.443 --> 02:40.502
the information can be recognized
by big data through database.

02:42.736 --> 02:45.651
Next, let's replace the faces with products.

02:45.776 --> 02:47.239
The concept remains the same.

02:49.228 --> 02:52.367
What we were going to build was the concept of database.

02:52.675 --> 02:55.114
If it is one single function,

02:55.114 --> 02:57.708
it would be easy for students to figure out.

02:58.029 --> 03:00.123
If the same function multiplies

03:00.123 --> 03:02.426
by 5, 10, or a larger number,

03:02.602 --> 03:05.936
it would be confusing.

03:06.330 --> 03:08.333
And then, the students get puzzled.

03:09.123 --> 03:10.498
Some even considered it

03:10.783 --> 03:12.173
too difficult and wanted to give up.

03:12.507 --> 03:13.892
All I wish is that kids

03:14.730 --> 03:16.905
could at least experience it, give it a try.

03:17.103 --> 03:18.522
The most difficult part for me is

03:18.522 --> 03:21.145
to build a program and design a structure.

03:21.497 --> 03:23.951
It was so complicated when I did it on my own,

03:24.203 --> 03:25.380
it was in such a mess.

03:25.381 --> 03:28.281
Even though, I was still managed to complete  it at the end.

03:28.558 --> 03:30.086
Your total comes to $45.

03:30.086 --> 03:32.183
There are $105 remaining on your card.

03:32.183 --> 03:33.838
Thank you.

03:34.665 --> 03:37.532
I hope I would have the chance
to broaden their horizons.

03:37.859 --> 03:40.667
Sometimes, why kids are reluctant to learn

03:40.800 --> 03:43.098
is because they are unable to see

03:43.328 --> 03:45.218
what their life would be

03:45.218 --> 03:47.255
after turning their lives around.

03:47.700 --> 03:50.917
Once, we took part in an international workshop,

03:50.917 --> 03:52.181
"Let's Make It!"

03:52.606 --> 03:54.192
Students were all unwilling to do it at first

03:54.330 --> 03:56.905
since they were afraid of English.

03:57.374 --> 03:59.971
But, after attempting,

04:00.195 --> 04:03.479
they actually felt proud for introducing their mother tongue

04:03.608 --> 04:04.711
in front of foreigners.

04:06.210 --> 04:07.303
At the beginning,

04:07.303 --> 04:09.356
I consider programming boring.

04:10.490 --> 04:10.932
For real.

04:11.625 --> 04:13.339
Perhaps it was because

04:13.673 --> 04:15.029
I started participating in competitions.

04:15.402 --> 04:16.676
Gradually, I felt that

04:17.430 --> 04:19.791
I might be interested in it a bit.

04:20.170 --> 04:23.618
So I kept going to different competitions,

04:23.618 --> 04:27.777
in consultation with Teacher Lyu when I'm in junior high.

04:30.856 --> 04:32.815
I would introduce them many stuffs,

04:32.815 --> 04:33.648
such as robots,

04:33.648 --> 04:34.620
programming,

04:34.620 --> 04:35.773
projects,

04:36.032 --> 04:38.701
laser cutting, 3D printers, and so on.

04:39.048 --> 04:40.955
I simply wish kids could know more

04:40.955 --> 04:43.862
in different fields and sectors.

04:44.075 --> 04:46.405
To start with, we guide the beginners in a simple way,

04:46.511 --> 04:48.114
so they could have a taste of success easily.

04:48.114 --> 04:49.789
When the successes accumulate,

04:49.789 --> 04:51.250
they would like to

04:51.492 --> 04:52.520
challenge themselves.

04:52.520 --> 04:54.123
In the end, the students would realize

04:54.123 --> 04:56.148
they could make such intricate works.

04:56.231 --> 04:58.512
Unconsciously, that would also

04:58.514 --> 05:00.033
enhance their motivations and proudness.

05:00.528 --> 05:02.798
In our lives,

05:02.798 --> 05:06.023
sometimes you open up more options and opportunities

05:06.302 --> 05:09.284
simply because you know a little bit more than others.

05:09.536 --> 05:11.067
In fact, I train my students

05:11.105 --> 05:12.512
in order to give them

05:12.512 --> 05:14.173
more opportunities

05:14.299 --> 05:15.626
to choose from in the future.

05:16.388 --> 05:20.159
I might study computer science and information engineering
as my major in the future

05:20.159 --> 05:23.405
and keep studying further.

05:26.205 --> 05:27.580
I think

05:27.580 --> 05:29.552
I am smarter

05:29.701 --> 05:32.240
after learning programming.

05:32.683 --> 05:33.801
In my opinion,

05:33.801 --> 05:36.708
programming helps a lot for our future.

05:37.078 --> 05:37.928
It can be

05:37.928 --> 05:40.151
integrated with our traditions and language,

05:40.300 --> 05:43.219
and promote them more effectively.

05:43.219 --> 05:43.931
Just

05:44.075 --> 05:45.362
get over it.

05:50.223 --> 05:52.117
Learning is interesting and fun.

05:52.201 --> 05:54.983
If you get to know more knowledge and skills,

05:55.373 --> 05:57.817
you would create more choices and chances.

05:58.242 --> 06:00.383
And you would definitely turn around your future.
