TEAM Model AI Smart Schools have been established globally, with success stories in over ten countries. Over the past 20 years, we have accumulated 3,000 schools and over 50,000 smart classrooms. Among them, Taoyuan City has aggressively developed its smart city infrastructure, building over 7,800 smart classrooms, making it the city with the most TEAM Model smart classrooms in the world.
Supported by the smart education system, Taoyuan stood out in the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) with projects like "Smart School, Digital Academy," winning the Global Smart City TOP 1 award!
Led by Mayor Cheng Wen-Tsan, Taoyuan City started building 5T Maker Smart Schools at Taoyuan Elementary School in 2015. This 118-year-old school was revitalized with technology, making learning fun and classrooms lively. This pilot success led to the city-wide "Smart School Digital Academy" project, equipping every school with digital interactive teaching equipment.
"Education is a calling. We must guide teachers to improve professional knowledge and guide students in autonomous exploration. Both hardware construction and software governance are essential."
During the winter break of 2021, Mayor Cheng visited Yongshun Elementary School, inviting 15 teachers to conduct 14 online classes simultaneously. The Mayor interacted with students remotely using HiTeach and Web IRS.
"Flipping teaching starts with the change of teachers." At the 2019 Global Technology Leadership Forum, Director Kao discussed how smart education took root in Taoyuan, promoting teacher communities and leading to the massive construction of smart classrooms.
Director Lin transformed into a science expert, teaching interactively with students from 4 schools via online conferencing. He used bubble guns to demonstrate science concepts and HiTeach's Web IRS for student quizzes. This verified that "Learning Never Stops" is more than a slogan—it's a viable, interactive teaching model.
The Cross-Strait Smart Classroom Invitational is the world's first city-based smart classroom team competition. The "Taoyuan Team" was the biggest winner, achieving a **3-year championship streak (2017, 2018, 2019)**, showcasing Taiwanese teachers' expertise in lesson design and technology application.
Under the guidance of Prof. Hsu Yu-Chien (NTUE), the team won the championship with 3 Golds and 3 Silvers.
The largest competition to date with 100 smart classes. Taoyuan Team triumphed again.
Defeated 19 other teams, winning 4 First Prizes and 1 Second Prize, achieving the highest total score.
Leveraging the success of the international invitational, Taoyuan City organized local cross-school competitions. The top three winning schools often use the TEAM Model system, proving HiTeach's substantial help in teaching.
Growth: From 29 teams in 2019 to 32 elementary and 12 junior high teams in 2021, the scale continues to expand.
"Why can this event continue? It relates to the nearly 5,000 smart classrooms deployed in Taoyuan. Because of the quantity, we have the idea to let everyone learn from each other through competition, maximizing the benefits of the devices." — Principal Ho Hsin-Chang, Guangming Junior High
Smart education in Taoyuan starts at the source! In the new teacher induction training, champion teachers (Lin Ling-Yi, Huang Cheng-Wen) demonstrated smart teaching to 300 prospective teachers.
"The two champion teachers encouraged the newcomers: Although there will be obstacles, do not forget your original intention for education. Be honored to contact smart classrooms from the start. Taoyuan's future lies in top smart teachers."
The Forward-looking Infrastructure Digital Construction Plan filmed a documentary at "Yongshun Elementary School," affirming Taoyuan's achievements in smart education.
