Innovation and Sustainable Education

The Advantech Foundation has long focused on the innovation and development of education, and encouraged the creation of a learner-centric learning model that combines Advantech’s determination to maintain Earth’s sustainability with the implementation of sustainability education. We used the PBL model to lay the foundation for better learning experiences and benefits for children, teenagers, and young adults in Taiwan. Furthermore, we are committed to cultivating future talent through the implementation of various projects, including:

  • ACT Dreamers: We actively invest in community culture and innovative education projects. Please see the "ACT Highlight Project" below.
  • To promote the heritage of sustainable campuses and deepen ACT projects: We plan to add the “ACT Practitioner” program in 2026, and will select several schools to partner with based on their history of participation in ACT Dreamers, providing 3 years of funding and resources to assist each school in carrying out campus sustainability actions.
  • Advantech sponsors high-quality sustainability education institutions for the diverse development of innovative education, such as the Chengzhi Educational Foundation, the CommonWealth Education Innovation Hub, DFC Taiwan, Pley School, and the Hsin Kang Foundation of Culture and Education

Taiwan‘s ACT Education Campaign promotes innovative education in elementary and high schools by utilizing the PBL model to implement the SDGs.
In 2020, the Advantech Foundation launched the “ACT Dreamers” project, investing in innovative educational models to inspire the limitless potential of learners. In 2022, the project underwent a comprehensive enhancement, incorporating Project-Based Learning (PBL), which empowers students to explore, collaborate, and solve rea lworld problems. This approach fortifies their understanding of and engagement with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), nurturing future citizens with global perspectives and social responsibility. Through resource investment and systematic training, the Foundation is committed to fostering a creative and action-oriented learning environment. This allows students to learn through handson practice, tackle real-world challenges through critical thinking and collaboration, and deepen their sustainability awareness throughout the project process, ultimately shaping them into influencers of positive global change.

The ACT Dreamers project requires that all student proposals address specific SDG targets and be carried out using a project-based approach, thereby cultivating the skills and attributes necessary for global citizenship. From topic exploration and research design to action planning and outcome presentation, the entire learning process unfolds in real-world contexts. Through inquiry and hands-on practice, students cultivate systems thinking and decision-making skills. Working in teams, they gain firsthand experience in problem-solving and discover the value of social engagement. To enhance learning effectiveness, the Foundation is strengthening the PBL teaching system by introducing mutual empowerment courses for teachers and students, providing educators with training in innovative teaching methods while helping students analyze the SDGs and apply their learning outcomes to real-life topics.

ACT solicits Advantech employees to serve as industry mentors on campus, engaging in face-to-face discussions with students to impart practical knowledge and logic. This facilitates students discussing various issues in greater depth. The student organizations are dedicated to addressing a wide range of concerns, such as the environment, health, ecology, local revitalization, education, and community service. The foundation aspires to foster sustainability action among students by encouraging them to develop concern for society and the capacity and initiative to resolve issues through this endeavor.

In 2025, we continued to promote and participate in on-campus presentations in various schools. At the end of the semester, we held 4 cross-school sharing sessions for 40 elementary and junior high schools in Linkou Smart Technology Park and Taichung. In January 2026, we organized the 2025 Sustainable Action for a Better Future! Annual Conference at the Center for Public and Business Administration Education, National Chengchi University. A total of 43 schools set up 37 booths to jointly present their achievements at the event, which was attended by nearly 250 parents, teachers, and students. The event was divided into 4 major themes, “Environmental Sustainability, Local Revitalization, Cultural Heritage, and Humanistic Care,” allowing students to show their ability to take sustainability actions and connect with the real world.

ACT Public Welfare Basketball Camp: Transform Your Life and Make It to the NCAA

We received over 200 resumes since registration started in March 2025, and selected 60-70 students to participate in the second stage interview. After the interview, 12 male and 12 female student athletes were selected to participate in the camp. Their performance was observed during the five-day camp, and 1-5 student athletes were selected in the end. We formulated plans to assist and accompany them in applying for an NCAA full-ride scholarship at an American university. In 2025, 4 athletes were selected and we are currently accompanying them in their studies and basketball career according to plan. Our goal is to encourage student athletes to focus on their studies and continue to improve their skills to make it to a higher stage outside of Taiwan, so that they can see the world and let the world see their basketball skills. Most importantly, we hope that these elite basketball players will also help others as they continue to receive help, creating a positive cycle in which they use their expertise to benefit others.

Dreaming Bigger with the Nantou Advan Bulls U12 Basketball Team

The Foundation attaches importance to the long-term development of sports in rural areas, and thus sponsored Empower to establish the “Nantou Advan Bulls U12 Basketball Team.” The Foundation provides systematic basketball training and team education in hopes of creating a stable and positive learning environment for children, giving them physical health, the spirit of teamwork, discipline, and confidence. At the same time, this closes the gap in resources in urban and rural areas, and makes sports a starting point for children to broaden their horizons and create future possibilities.
