Abstract/Objectives
"Cultivating Future Atayal Doctors Through STEAM Education in Jianshi, the Music Town"
This cross-institutional STEAM project, led by National Tsing Hua University and National Taiwan University’s College of Medicine, aims to support indigenous education in Jianshi. By integrating Atayal Arts into medical STEAM education and incorporating nature-based courses, the initiative fosters culturally responsive learning.
Honoring Jianshi’s first doctor, Inoue Inosuke, whose contributions remain commemorated, the project explores opera concerts as an educational strategy. With collaboration from four departments across both universities, it promotes quality education while supporting indigenous community revitalization.
