The goal of the "Zero-Emission Campus" initiative is to transform the university campus into a people-centered environment, reducing the use of private fuel-powered vehicles to achieve a vision of zero emissions and zero fatalities on campus. In an increasingly severe climate change scenario, the content of this project can also serve as a reference for other institutions aiming to promote zero-emission campuses.

The "我有億點靈感" initiative combines offline workshops with an online platform using VR360 virtual reality technology to integrate resources. This allows students to learn not only through physical interaction and hands-on experience but also to review and deepen their understanding of the field through 360-degree scenes and quiz challenges at home. This approach fosters interest while adapting to technological advancements.

The web game starts with history and guides visitors through a virtual tour of Jianye New Village. By integrating the expertise of various professionals, we offer two workshops that align with the storyline.
