Where horseshoe crabs meet robotics.
Xincen Elementary School was founded in September 1962, and today lives by its motto "健康創新 喜閱永續" (Health & Innovation, Joyful Reading & Sustainability). The school is distinctive for its horseshoe crab (鱟) conservation education and wetland/water-bird studies, drawing directly on Budai's coastal ecology, alongside robotics education with FLL (FIRST LEGO League) competition participation, percussion/drumming arts, and PBL energy education. It also runs an attached kindergarten and a maker/digital-creative classroom.

Distinctive horseshoe crab (鱟) conservation education and wetland/water-bird studies connect students directly to the tidal mudflats that historically nursed horseshoe crab populations along Budai's coast.
🤖 Robotics & FLL Competitions
機器人與FLL競賽
Robotics education with FIRST LEGO League (FLL) competition participation gives students in this small coastal town a competitive STEM outlet.
🥁 Percussion & Drumming Arts
打擊樂藝術
A percussion/drumming arts program adds a performing-arts dimension to the school's broader emphasis on hands-on, creative learning.
🔧 A Maker & Energy-Education Classroom
自造與能源教育教室
A dedicated maker/digital-creative classroom and PBL energy education round out a curriculum that pairs local ecology with contemporary STEM skills.
Tidal mudflats and horseshoe crabs.
The horseshoe crab and wetland/water-bird curriculum directly reflects the tidal mudflats and lagoons around Budai, historically a nursery habitat for horseshoe crabs and migratory shorebirds tied to the area's oyster-farming geography. See the Chiayi county page for more on the region.
