About Me
I am Shih-Kuo Lin, nickname is Kirk.
My major is electrical engineering, and I am teaching about making some interesting things such as go-kart, standbeast bicycle, record & play Device, etc. in senior high school. I am so excited to attend Fab Academy 2017, and I am looking forward to learn lots of knowledge, tools and skills.
I with my students had made some interesting projects, such as standbeast and go-kart which describes below:
●Standbeast bicycle
We spent almost one year to build this standbeast bicycle. At the first, my students were not familiar with all of the tools in our lab. We used 2D and 3D modeling tool, 3D printer, lasercutting, circular saw machine, and lots of electrical tools, hand tools, etc. to build the bicycle. After dismantling the bicycle more than ten times, we were more familiar with using all of the tools. Finally we successful builded the huge standbeast bicycle.
●Go-kart
Also, we spent allmost helf year to build their go-kart. My students separated 7 groups to build their unique go-kart. Each group needed to discuss what structure, power, accelerated system, brake system and steering system of the car they wanted. So each group had different design of their go-kart. Again, after tring and error lots of times during the following six month, their go-kart was running.

::Introduction::
Orchid Island, located at southeast of Taiwan. Because the island had volcanic activity before, it had many particular terrain. People who live on the island was called TAO. They have quite a special tradition and culture. But also because of the beautiful scenery and unique cultural characteristics, many tourists are attracted to visit here.
For a long time, they faced a very serious problem that they could not handle the garbage that came with the tourists. The rubbish needs to be returned to Taiwan, but the shipping costs are so high that they can not afford it.
There a man who is called Wen, he grew up in this island and found the problem. He built a new attraction called Kasiboan, but in fact, this place was where the rubbish be stacked. His purpose was to hope that visitors would see the place and then reflect on their destruction of the environment and then brought their garbage back to Taiwan.
I read about his report and tried to help him. I contacted with him and we discussed how to do. So my final project became.
I want to make a culture box, which function is reading the tag message from the specific object with NFC(Near Field communication) technology. Then the culture box will plays a unique music/voice about the object.
Silver helmet is a unique helmet of TAO, and they would only wear this helmet on blessings or welcome ceremonies. I will also copy a silver helmet with a AR(Augmented Reality) cardboard in it. Than I will capture a AR(Augmented Reality) vedio about Kasiboan. Who finally wears the silver helmet and puts the specific object on the culture box. It will sends a message via bluetooth or wifi to the carboard to play the AR vedio.
What I want to do is exchanging the view of things. Once we are visitors，what we focus on is only scenery. While we wear the silver helmet, and look out from the helmet. It seems we become TAO, who live in here, and what we see is only garbage. So through my culture box, I hope we can reflect on the destruction of the environment, thereby reducing the manufacture of garbage.
