2026年5月份見識之旅縮影 　　2026年5月23日由呂明澐小姐帶領17位見習生及家長們，至台南進行創新產業與家具木藝探索之旅。首站來到位於仁德區的虹泰水凝膠世界，導覽人員介紹全區以節能減碳及環保理念打造，並利用負壓風扇促進空氣循環，即使炎夏室內仍保持舒適通風。眾人依序參觀芳香館、熱療館與電療館，認識水凝膠可分為物理性、生物性及化學性，其原料多為粉末或液體，經加水、加熱或添加特定成分後即可凝結，廣泛應用於芳香凍、仙草凍、冷熱敷包及電極貼片等日常用品，館內亦透過吉祥物公仔展示水凝膠吸水膨脹、乾燥縮小及可自然分解等特性。本次活動安排芳香凍DIY，由見習生們各自挑選喜愛的香味與圖樣，攪拌原料並依序加入氧化劑與還原劑，再倒入模具等待凝固成型。脫模時芳香凍仍相當燙手，原來是相關原料反應後尚未完全放熱，因此包裝時需暫不密封，以免影響成型後的品質。最後，大家帶著這份特別的「燙手山芋」，滿載新知離開奇妙的水凝膠世界。　 　　On May 23, 2026, Ms. Lu Ming-yun led 17 ARF interns and their parents to explore innovative industries and furniture woodworking in Tainan. The first stop was Home Tech Hydrogel Tourism Factory in Rende District. Designed around energy efficiency, carbon reduction and environmental protection, the facility uses negative-pressure fans to keep the interior comfortable even in summer. Visiting the aroma, heat therapy and electrotherapy zones, everyone learned that hydrogels may be physical, biological or chemical. Their raw materials are mostly powders or liquids that gel with water, heat or specific ingredients, and are widely used in aroma gels, grass jelly, hot/cold packs and electrode patches. Mascot displays showed that hydrogels expand when absorbing water, shrink when dried and are biodegradable. During the aroma gel DIY activity, interns chose scents and designs, stirred the materials, added oxidizing and reducing agents in sequence, and poured the mixture into molds to set. As the gels were still hot after demolding, the packages remained unsealed temporarily to maintain quality. Everyone left the fascinating hydrogel world with new knowledge and their special "hot potatoes" in hand. 　　下午眾人造訪台南家具產業博物館，認識木製家具的歷史與工藝。家博館於2005年創立，由1958年成立的永興家具舊廠房改建而成，除推廣木工藝術外，亦創立魯班學堂，致力培育木工人才。甫入館內，映入眼簾的是牆上巨幅台灣家具產業分布圖，導覽人員介紹各式木製家具，館內展示的多件家具皆運用榫卯技法，無須釘子即可穩固接合，仰賴工匠純熟經驗與精湛技術，成就精美且耐用的作品。眾人亦驚喜發現，現置於總統府綠廳的會客椅同樣出自永興家具之手；目前府內使用者為改良版本，替換下來的座椅則於家博館展示。參觀結束後，隨即進行檜木玫瑰花DIY。由於檜木片十分輕薄，反覆彎折容易斷裂，館方先提供長條泡棉片供大家練習，待熟悉折疊技巧後，再彎折、捲塑檜木片。在導覽人員逐一細心指導下，見習生與家長們皆順利完成散發淡雅檜木香氣的玫瑰花。 　　In the afternoon, everyone learned about the history and craftsmanship of wooden furniture at the Furniture Manufacturing Eco-Museum in Tainan. Established in 2005 at the former site of Yung Shing Furniture(founded in 1958), the museum promotes woodworking art and operates the Lu Ban Woodwork School to train woodworking talents. A huge map showed Taiwan's furniture industry, while many exhibits used traditional mortise-and-tenon joints, securely assembled without nails through skilled craftsmanship. Everyone learned that the reception chairs in the Presidential Office Building's Green Hall were also crafted by Yung Shing Furniture. Those currently in use are an improved version, while earlier chairs are displayed at the museum. During the cypress rose DIY activity, everyone first practiced with foam strips because thin cypress strips could break when repeatedly bent. After mastering the technique, they folded and rolled the cypress strips into shape. With careful guidance, the interns and parents completed fragrant cypress roses. 　　最後一站來到位於歸仁區的萬國通路創意觀光工廠，導覽人員首先播放品牌影片，說明其以自有品牌「eminent」深耕歐洲市場，將兼具美感與實用性的行李箱設計推向國際。隨後帶領眾人認識行李箱從設計、選材到組裝的製作流程，並展示時下流行的前開式及科技感十足的充電行李箱。館內影片亦介紹行李箱的演進歷程，從箱包發展映照人類旅遊方式與交通工具的變遷，讓見習生們體會，即使只是將輪子加裝於繫繩皮箱上的微小創新，也能為日常生活帶來極大便利。本次台南行程涵蓋水凝膠、家具與行李箱等產業，帶領大家認識日常用品背後的科學原理、設計巧思與製造技術。至此，本日活動已近尾聲，大家合影留念後各自返家，並期待於下次見識之旅再相見。 　　At the final stop, Eminent Interactive Luggage World in Guiren District, everyone watched a video about its own brand "eminent" and its European development, bringing stylish, practical luggage designs worldwide. The guide then introduced the production process from design and material selection to assembly, along with trendy front-opening suitcases and high-tech models with built-in chargers. A video on luggage evolution showed how bags and suitcases reflect changes in travel and transportation. The interns learned that even a small innovation, such as adding wheels to a suitcase, can greatly improve life. Covering topics from hydrogels to furniture and luggage, the study tour introduced the science, creative designs and manufacturing techniques behind everyday products. As the day ended, everyone gathered to take a group photo before the journey home and looked forward to the next study tour.
