The Tech Cube Program
The state-of-the-art Winston Wong Tech Cube building for robotics, computer science, and engineering opened for schoolwide use in SY 2018-2019 and, since then, technological learning on our campus has exploded. This incredible facility has established Taipei American School as the center for KA-12 STEAM excellence in the Asia-Pacific region.
But the Tech Cube is more than a building; it's a schoolwide learning program and mindset that all Tigers have embraced.

The Sky is the Limit
Inspired by the MIT Media Lab, the Winston Wong Tech Cube provides the canvas for 21st century learning that gives TAS students the necessary skills and experience they need to make a real difference in the world. The 4,380 square meters of flexible and creative space provides unique opportunities for all of our students.
Full STEAM Ahead
Because every child deserves a solid foundation in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.
By the Numbers
Our students win a lot of hardware for their hard and soft STEAM skills and projects — but that's not what motivates them or their teachers. While external accomplishments are appreciated, our Tech Cube program places a greater emphasis on learning from failure than it does traditional forms of "success."
