Cyberfair 2014 Inspire & Unite! CyberFair 2014 Inspire & Unite! This year's CyberFair projects were truly outstanding and we encourage you to spend some time exploring the projects produced by youth organizations from around the world. The most exceptional projects told wonderful stories about your local community, provided details about the contributions of team members, and explained the impact of your work. CyberFair is an opportunity to engage businesses, schools, and youth organizations in educational activities that improve academic achievement and contribute to mutual awareness and appreciation of their community history, leaders, issues, and needs. The theme for CyberFair 2014, “Inspire and Unite!,” challenged youth to prepare for the future by thinking about their own future plans, the conditions that will affect the future of their community, and issues of global importance. Below is a list of the rankings as determined by the Peer Review results and the evaluations by the International Judges. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2014 CyberFair Category 1 – Local Leaders +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ================================================================ PLATINUM AWARD CyberFair Category 1 – Local Leaders ================================================================ Project ID 7728: Ridwan Kamil: The Leader Of Changes For Bandung's Hope To Shine Brightly Category: 1.

  • Development of Digital Maker Education from Elementary School to University
    Development of Digital Maker Education from Elementary School to University (Courtesy of Zong-Hua Cai at the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Security) To improve teachers' teaching ability in digital maker education, the Ministry of Education has entrusted the National Kaohsiung Normal University (NKNU) as the general coordinator in the promotion of the STEM + A Course-Oriented Digital Maker Education Development Program. With the integration of three subprograms in northern, central, and southern Taiwan and the bases in line with the “star- planet-satellite” model, schools with the willingness to participate are guided to implement digital maker education. Sun-Lu Fan, Political Deputy Minister of Education, said that we were currently in a hands-on era and that the development of digital maker education into formal courses and the common version of teaching aids were very helpful for teaching sites in the front line. Schools that have received subsidiaries for teaching aids will, in the initial period, incorporate the common teaching aids developed by universities into their instruction under the new curriculum guidelines. It is expected that, eventually there will be at least 72 "micro courses" being developed, incorporating digital maker education in various subject areas at the end of the year. 1 Fu-Yuan Peng, Director-General of K-12 Education Administration of the Ministry of Education also encouraged all senior high schools to participate actively. Among them, National Yeong-Jing Industrial Vocational High School (YJVS) in Changhua County participates in the subprogram in central Taiwan; the teachers are being provided with guidance and support by the bases at the “star” level staffed by personnel from NKNU and the National Chung Hsing University (NCHU).

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.
