Record
Digital-literacy movement for the overseas Chinese community: founded and runs hands-on AI/smartphone courses (AI手機功能教學課程 — AI search, voice assistants, LINE, Google Maps, anti-fraud digital safety), first cohort Feb 12, 2025, community iterations Feb 12, 2026; deliberately in-person — “科技價值在於讓人更有力量，而非拉開距離”; stated mission: no one left behind by technological progress (縮短數位落差).
Co-teaches with instructor 謝逸琦; partners with 洛杉磯華僑文教服務中心 (OCAC LA) — courses held at the Chinatown library reading room (Jun 2025).
Stated worldview: 僑務 work’s core is “連結與傳承”; digital literacy is how the overseas Chinese community stays connected to the world; frames AI education as showing “台灣的軟實力” — Taiwan soft power.
Health-diplomacy convening: SoCal convener-in-chief for the Taichung VGH (臺中榮總) US visit & health lectures (LA + OC sessions; co-organizers included 南加州台大校友會, 大洛杉磯台灣客家會, 榮光會, Foguang Society 新港分會 — a cross-section of LA’s Taiwan-linked civil society).
Taste of Taiwan 2026: as AI Education Foundation president introduced the Oct 2–11 Rowland Heights event; balloon-blessing “為台灣及台美友誼祈福” (World Journal, 2026-09-26).
