Problem and Solution

When we are trying to get the open source data from the Website, we found out that they didn't update the date up to date.  If the data is up-to-date, it will help our App Design to be more accurate and useful for the people who need it.  Therefore, we asked computer and technology teacher to help us with the design of the Smartphone Application and she suggested us that we can use those data then and once the date get updated, we will replace the old data with the new ones. 

Project Reflection

Cyber Fair helps elevating my students work to international level and motivates them to revise and modify their research again and again.  

This International Schools CyberFair project keeps high standards as a research project.  By reviewing other schools' project sites, we have good models to follow and they will try to outperform those previous projects.  In Taiwan, English is not spoken in our daily life.  Through working on this project, we apply English language and use it in an academic way.  We have learned to apply inquiry learning, project-based learning and ICT skills, collaboration and communication skills while working on this project.  

ICT Skills

We have learned how to create a Google Earth Project to locate the unsafe places in our community.  We apply ICT skills to collaboratively work on editing the website.  On top of that, when we encounter more technical problems, we will ask computer teacher for help.  Our project teacher also invited some guest speakers to teach us coding and technology skills, which help a lot when we created our final project.  

Our Teamwork

In order to reach. the high standards of the project, we had Video Conference three times with students from India, the Philippines, Vietnam an Thailand to gain more insights on how students from other countries do on the project and we also share what we have done.  Our product has the best technical functions and we actually created the Smart Phone Application so we are rewarded from our good efforts and dedication.  

Impact of our Anti-Crime App

There are house-renting websites in Taiwan.  However, compared to the house-renting sites such as Trulia, it is lack of community security information.  Therefore, with our Anti-crime App, we provide the past criminal records information for first-comers in the community.  In this way, we can provide more information not only for people but also architecture companies if they want to sell their houses for better price.  

How this project helps

We have demonstrated our Anti-crime App with lots of scholars and experts.  We have gained lots of advice from them and thus we revise an modify this App accordingly.  We even want to suggest the local police to provide the up-to-date criminal information for us to make this App more accurate and precise.  

Discoveries

We have created the Anti-Crime App, which is quite rare for high school students.  Therefore, this experience is very valuable and we also hope this App can further develop to have a better version so the government or local jurisdictions can really use it to combat crimes.
