Sixteen students from Taipei City, accompanied by a project teacher and administrators, traveled to San Jose to present STEAM projects at Silicon Valley Career Technical Education (SVCTE). SVCTE has partnered with sister schools in Taipei City and New Taipei City for five years, aligning with MetroED's mission to prepare students for success in a global economy. Each student completed a review process with professors in Taipei before traveling. Projects included a medical assistant robot, new waste-disposal solutions, environmental sustainability improvements, and a response-time training system for the elderly. Separately, the nonprofit Vitalant is holding multiple San Jose blood drives in September offering donors a free hemoglobin A1C test and online wellness results.
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).
"For the past five years, SVCTE has partnered with our sister schools in Taipei City and New Taipei City," said Kiran Grewal, assistant superintendent of educational services for the Metropolitan Education District, aka MetroED, which runs SVCTE. "This relationship is significant because it aligns with MetroED's mission to prepare students for success in a global economy."
The nonprofit Vitalant is holding a series of blood drives in San Jose this month. As a special thanks, Vitalant is offering all donors in September a free hemoglobin A1C test, a key indicator of diabetes risk. Within a week of donating, donors can check their A1C level and other wellness results in their confidential, online account. Learn more at vitalant.org/a1ctesting.
