2. Summary of Our Project
Broadcasting Bureau of Taichung, located at No.1, Radio-station St., Taichung City, was built in 1935. Having been standing there for over 70 years, it’s an old friend to the Taichung residents. In 2005, Cultural Affair Bureau of Taichung City Government delegated Super FM 99.1 to manage it. Thanks to Super FM 99.1’s operation, it not only shows us the glory that Broadcasting Bureau of Taichung used to be, but also helps keep the transmission of culture. In 2010, another institution, Mu Ci Chang Corporation, took over the management. We are going to visit the place in person, hoping to evoke the legacy and the old sound of the exquisite heritage. Also, with our public website, we could show the public the culture and art around, letting the Broadcasting Bureau of Taichung keep broadcasting endless rhyme!

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
Bearing in mind the fact that this was a team field investigation project, our team often faced the problem of an unsuitable schedule. Along with the problem of not being familiar with the website structure and designs, we also faced the challenge of the project taking more time to complete than we initially expected. Moreover, schoolwork became harder to accomplish as college entrance exams approached closer on the horizon. Therefore, we now have begun to utilize the function of holding our discussions during lunchtime in order to save other valuable time for necessary study.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
Our goal is to have a better understanding toward our local humanity and environment through this field investigation and spread the broadcasting culture of Taichung Broadcasting Bureau in the mean time. In addition, our method relies on the extensive use of the school's website and information technologies as well as expertise division in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
We applied the knowledge and skills we learned in the process of making monographic web pages so that we had a deeper understanding of Taichung. To reach the most important thing in teamwork-efficiency, we worked together according to what each member was good at. In the era of technology, computer has played an indispensable role in our lives; consequently, in this event, we made extensive use of information equipment and networked skills which were taught in school. Also, the convenience of the Internet let us keep in touch with others almost anytime and anywhere, and obtain the required or timely information.
