A pond of water, a shrimp, and one sample may look like ordinary parts of daily work at an aquaculture site. During aquaculture production, however, pathogens may affect shrimp health and also influence farm management, food safety, and peace of mind at the dining table. In the past, pathogen testing usually required samples to be sent to a laboratory. Professional equipment and trained personnel were needed for analysis, and people often had to wait for a period of time before knowing whether a sample carried a potential risk. This June, the National Science and Technology Museum will launch the science outreach experience event “AI Pathogen Detection Technology Sharing.” Starting from the setting of an aquaculture site, the event will introduce portable pathogen detection devices and help visitors understand how samples from shrimp ponds or aquaculture farms enter the testing process. Through LAMP testing technology, AI image analysis, and mobile result viewing, visitors will see how smart agriculture can help people quickly identify pathogen risks on site. The activity will use easy-to-understand displays and hands-on experiences to guide children and adults through the full process, from sampling and testing to interpretation and result feedback. Visitors will learn about the relationship between pathogen detection and food safety through everyday aquaculture scenarios. They will also see how technology can enter agricultural fields and support both industry and daily life. Activity Highlights Understanding Pathogen Detection at Shrimp Ponds Using aquaculture as the main setting, the activity explains why on-site pathogen detection matters and why timely test results are important for aquaculture management and food safety. Learning How LAMP Testing Works in the Field Through a step-by-step process display, visitors will learn how LAMP, or loop-mediated isothermal amplification, supports on-site testing. They will also understand its features in testing time, equipment needs, and operation. Understanding AI Image Analysis The activity will introduce how AI helps identify testing images, organize and interpret results more quickly, and reduce possible errors from manual judgment. Viewing Results on a Mobile Phone and Understanding Smart Agriculture Applications Through the process of sampling, device testing, AI interpretation, and mobile result viewing, visitors will learn how smart agriculture turns testing data into useful information for field use.

The exhibition highlights the traditional craft of rice straw sandals, presenting the complete process—from pounding and rubbing the straw to weaving the uppers—showcasing the frugality, wisdom, and aesthetics of rural life. Featured works include Dr. Ming-Feng Wang’s innovative sandal designs that merge traditional craftsmanship with modern creativity, demonstrating the diverse potential of rice straw. His painting Lugang Danpu Trail is also displayed, offering an artistic perspective on the historical and cultural significance of Caotun, once known as “Straw Sandal Mound.” Through the intersection of craft and art, the exhibition envisions new values of rice straw in local revitalization, cultural creativity, and sustainability, inviting visitors to reflect on the connections between nature, culture, and future living. <h3>Curatorial Team</h3> <ul> <li> Curator: Dr. Ming-Feng Wang </li> <li> Co-Curator: Dr. Liwei Liu </li> <li> Curatorial Team: Hsin-Hui Lin, Zi-Yin Chen </li> <li> Exhibition Design & Planning: Product Design and Innovation R&D Laboratory, Department of Wood Science and Design, National Pingtung University of Science and Technology × National Science and Technology Museum </li> </ul> <h3>Exhibition Details</h3> <ul> <li> Venue: The Story of Taiwan's Agricultural Hall Special Exhibition Area, National Science and Technology Museum </li> <li> Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 09:00–17:00 (Closed on Mondays) </li> </ul> <h3>Visitor Activity (Share Your Feedback, Take a Souvenir)</h3> During the exhibition, visitors who complete the questionnaire after their visit will receive an exclusive souvenir from the exhibition hall (available while supplies last).  NATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MUSEUMFri, 26 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMTNational Science and Technology Museum Earns High Marks in Environmental Education Evaluationhttps://epapernews.nstm.gov.tw/ActivitiesDetailE001110.aspx?Cond=f523e3fd-21bc-42c5-86b3-3a9734e069acThe National Science and Technology Museum (NSTM) is proud to announce that it has received an "Excellent" rating in the Environmental Education Facility and Institution Evaluation.
