Special Activities and Events
Annual Christmas Gingerbread House Building Event
Every December, CHC hosts a special Christmas event that creates a precious moment for children and their families to come together and celebrate the holiday season. This event emphasizes family teamwork, fostering joyful memories for both children and their families.
The event features the "Gingerbread House Building" project, where families collaborate to build the best gingerbread house. Through this group activity, children learn to share ideas and work together to achieve a common goal. The gingerbread house building project serves as an ideal opportunity to nurture this spirit of cooperation as children experience the value of teamwork through dividing roles, coordinating opinions, and solving unexpected problems as a group.
The active involvement of parents and family members in this group project makes this event even more special. Parents work alongside their children to build a Gingerbread house, strengthening positive bonds between the program, families, and the community, which is crucial to the program's sustainable growth.
This event goes beyond a simple craft activity; it aims to achieve several significant educational and social goals while encouraging parents' involvement. We are confident that it will provide children with unforgettable joy and a sense of accomplishment through this exceptional experience.
STEAM Program Achievement Awards and Recognition
At the end of the school year, our program presents awards to individual children and teams that have demonstrated outstanding participation and achievements. We celebrate their efforts and accomplishments, encouraging them to stay motivated as they advance to the next stage.
Highest Attendance Award: Recognizing the Value of Consistency and Enthusiasm
This award is given to children who achieve the highest attendance throughout the school year. This award recognizes their consistent effort and enthusiasm for learning, as their attendance rates reflect a strong interest and active engagement in STEAM learning. This award also fosters the development of consistent learning habits among children. This award is particularly significant because we acknowledge that the success of our program depends on the voluntary participation of children.
Instructor Evaluation Highest Score Student Award
This award is presented to children who achieve the highest scores based on thorough evaluations conducted by instructors. Instructors assess children by observing problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. This award recognizes those who demonstrate significant learning achievements and practical application of STEAM skills they have acquired through the program. This award also encourages children to develop a self-directed learning attitude and take the initiative in solving problems.
Best Team Project Awards: Emphasizing the Importance of Collaboration and Communication
One of the core educational methodologies of our program is "team-based project activities." Through group projects, children share ideas, collaborate to achieve common goals, and develop practical communication skills. The Best Team Project Award recognizes the value of collaboration and commends those who worked together to produce creative results. This opportunity helps children understand the importance of cooperation and communication, skills essential to success in a future society.
Participation in STEM Fair
Our organization was invited to the STEM Fair held at the Center PCS School on March 13, 2025. It was more than just a one-time occurrence; it marked a significant step in our ongoing commitment to promoting STEAM education in underserved communities. The fair, which brought together various STEM institutions, was a meaningful event for the community, and our organization's role was essential.
At the STEM Fair, we operated a booth and had the opportunity to introduce our STEAM programs directly to the children and parents who visited. This direct interaction, combined with the hands-on activities we prepared at the booth, allowed children to experience and learn about STEAM firsthand. Moreover, engaging with parents significantly enhanced their interest and understanding of the STEAM field, making them feel more connected and engaged with our organization's initiatives.
