Project Elements

1) What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your CyberFair project?

Hardware: Computer, Digital camera, U disk, Notebook, Switch, Cell phone Software: Dreamweaver?Adobe Photoshop CS?Word?QQ?Windows, Inspiration

2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

In the study, we found that not only the problem of Daba Mountain elderly left behind is prominent, all the issues are prominent in the central and western regions, poorer are more obvious. China has a population of over 13 hundred million, 900000000 farmers, as agricultural science and technology power are improving, the labor demand is declined than before, rural surplus labors turn to coastal city, so that rural left behind are sick and elderly people. On one hand, these people are shouldering Chinese agricultural production in the western region, and on the other hand, they are shouldering the supervision of children education in the western region. To solve these problems of the Chinese elderly left behind is to solve future development.

3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?

We found that the care of the state policy and investment are increasing year by year when we interviewed and collected information. Through the network propaganda, the whole society understand the pain and joy of Empty Nester, only the whole society form a consensus to solve this part of the problem, especially the mental problem, the whole society can develop harmonious, the Chinese nation can achieve the revival of nation and the prosperity of a country.

4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

The school president Xu gave us the biggest support, local villagers also matched our interview, provided detailed information to us.

5) Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional)

We are very happy to take part in the Webfare, and we also benefit a lot, but the pressure is very big, all of the members are from junior school. But we don't back down. Through the research we found that Empty Nester always around us, their problem is a social problem, if we do not solve them, the next generation of children's growth will not be solved, because the left behind elderly also shoulder their responsibility in the management. Secondly, through this competition, we not only the computer knowledge, but also learned to make simple Webpage, simple processing photos, learned to use a digital camera; because we do not have the knowledge about making Webpage before, so we met a lot of difficulties. In the rural interview process, because all of them are rural students, so they do not pay attention to the Empty Nester, the effect is poor.
