Background
SanCode Foundation, founded in Taiwan on April 9, 2019 by former Premier of the Executive Yuan, San-Cheng Chang, is a foundation that aims to develop popular science education with an international perspective and promote the awareness of applications of these advances. According to the official website of SanCode Foundation, “SanCode,” in its original Chinese meaning, stands for “ technology for the good,” which aims at realizing the current and innovative technologies in Taiwan.

Entering an era of globalization, SanCode aims to help people acquire knowledge on technology as well as develop a global view on the industry and society.

History
Having conceived the scheme of setting up the Sancode Foundation to lead technology development and make contributions to the society, San-cheng Chang held the preliminary conference on January 24, passing the charters of donation and the confirmation of seven directors.

Once the plan is determined, the chief executive will lead the administration section, public relations section, and activity-planning section to put it into practice. With the amount of resources, SanCode Foundation is aimed at making both ends meet, which means putting limited resources into good use and thus maximizing social benefits.

Goals
The goals of SanCode Foundation are to promote science education as well as raise living environments of human society through the participation of professionals from different fields and industries via programs, interviews, online interaction and activities. As for the short-term goal, SanCode is committed to improving the country’s technology development by using the current resources, with public welfare as the main purpose to make influences on the society. Some of the approaches include assisting elementary students in rural areas as well as holding campus lectures, and actively managing social media. In the long-term, SanCode will offer services to students from providing basic technology-related knowledge to more high-end ones through online live streams. In addition, SanCode will expand their target group so as to enable people of all ages to have the chance to know more about technology, and emphasize experimenting with technological innovative applications.

Campus lectures善科校園講座
SanCode Foundation has held campus lectures at several senior high schools and universities in Taiwan since October 2020, addressing topics related to basic technology, such as the connection between math and technology, and emerging technology, such as AI, blockchain, computer animation, etc.

Digital forums數位論壇
Held on October 19, 2019, SanCode Foundation, IMediPlus(創心醫電公司), Taiwan Data Science Company(台灣資料科學公司), and Wisland Association(世界公民協會), which was founded by Sean Lu(呂學海), gathered professionals from all fields to discuss the nation’s technology development, plan for all-around education in the future digital generation, and initiate digital special laws. A proposal was made by San-Cheng Chang that a digital innovation committee as well as digital director should be set up to arrange the digital policies and carry out digitalization in Taiwan to boost digital development.

Rural Education Project偏鄉科技教育
The first Rural Education Project was held for three days in July 2020 at rural elementary schools in northwestern Taiwan. The remote northwestern area has high population migration and high teacher turnover rates, leading to the lack of education resources. Through holding math science camps with lectures, group discussions, and hands-on activities, the goal of the project is to help students gain confidence in areas of science and math.

eLearning科技大補帖
In July, 2020, SanCode Foundation set up an eLearning section on their website, inviting experts to compose articles related to current domestic and international topics to post on the eLearning section of their website, with the goal of spreading scientific knowledge to the public: to interest and motivate younger audiences, and increase opportunities for older audiences to get into contact with and not reject new technology.

Sancode Chatroom善哥聊天室
Starting in May, 2020, Sancode Chatroom conducts live streams online at regular times to increase technology usage for people of all ages, and to help technology development. With San-Cheng Chang as the host, the foundation invites professionals, influencers, and startup businesspeople from different fields to talk about their personal experiences along with scientific knowledge, and the contents are then uploaded online to spread science technology to people of all ages.
