🎓 The KAS College Fair welcomed representatives from more than 60 universities across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Hong Kong. The fair gave our high school students—as well as students from schools across southern Taiwan—the chance to explore diverse higher education opportunities, ask questions directly to admissions officers, and even discover schools they may have never considered before. We were also honored to have Kaohsiung City Education Bureau Chief Wu Li-Sen (吳立森) attend the event, and we sincerely thank the Kaohsiung City Education Bureau for their continued support. We are grateful to all the universities who joined us in Kaohsiung and to our counseling team for making this meaningful experience possible. 🌟

KAS Students Power the STEAM Robotics Camp A team of KAS middle and high school students — Hong, Jayden, Marvin, Herwin, and Morgan — stepped up as leaders at the 2025 STEAM Robotics Competition Camp, guiding local junior and senior high schoolers in coding, hardware, and robot building. Backed by the Kaohsiung City Government Social Affairs Bureau, IDEAS Taiwan, P.I.C Maker, and NSYSU, the camp combined learning, hands-on making, and friendly competition. Spots were reserved for girls, with priority for low-income students, and some participants even traveled from as far as Taitung to join. The program opened doors to tech innovation and equity, helping students turn curiosity into future-ready skills. KAS volunteers — Carolyn Hsing-Yun, Rex, Yi-En (Ian), Ian, Andre, and Aiden — also made a big impact through their community service.
