• Micro-project for high school students

Every year, PU offers exploratory micro-project courses for high school students. Through problem-oriented and action-oriented experiential learning, students engage in hands-on learning by tackling real-world problems or learning through teamwork.  Under the promotion of lifelong learning, Providence University has been actively sharing its educational resources with the public since 2018, focusing on the delivery of project-based learning. Starting in 2021, all departments at the university have collaborated to implement outdoor micro-project activities for high school students. Through hands-on activities, tangible experiences, the integration of images, and a step-by-step learning curriculum design, these initiatives help high school students engage with and enter into innovative teaching models. In the 2023–2024 academic year, 31 project teams were established, engaging the participation of over 5,000 high school students.
