A century ago, carpenters built airplanes; today, this craftsmanship is passed down. Dr. Lan Maker Classroom is a systematic popular science education program researched and designed jointly by two generations. Based on the accumulation of years of maker experience, it has extracted an engineering movement culture suitable for everyone from children to adults. Through the act of making, individuals can understand the mysteries of the development of human civilization—such as airplanes, cars, and ships—as well as their worldview. The first-generation founder, Dr. Lan (Cheng Fu-te), possesses an exceptional level of craftsmanship. His works have earned the title of "Taiwan's Most Expensive" from the Taiwanese media, who also affectionately refer to him as a "master craftsman." The second generation is represented by his daughter, Melody (Cheng Ai-ling). Having worked in the education industry for over twenty years, she has drawn upon leading mainstream global philosophies and integrated them into the system—including Waldorf and Montessori concepts, and the core of grit—to develop the highly innovative STREAM teaching methodology, with courses recommended by Make magazine. To date, Dr. Lan Maker Classroom has expanded to include projects such as curriculum and lesson plan design, teacher training, competitions, science fairs, travel, cultural and creative products, curation, and space planning.
