The National Science and Technology Museum launched the «Explore IOT Exhibition» in 2017. When curating the exhibition, it included the exhibit education activity: «DIY Unmanned Aerial Vehicle» in its planning to respond in a real time manner to the emerging issue of incorporating information, communication and digital technology into the Curriculum Guidelines for the 12-Year Basic Education, displaying the Museum’s function in supporting formal education. Museum has to be innovative in terms of educational activity to meet various groups’ learning needs. Using «DIY Unmanned Aerial Vehicle» activity as an example, this paper discusses the generic learning outcomes (GLOs) of non-formal educational institutions used in said activity to plan further activities and conduct learning evaluations. The objective is to see if it is feasible to practically use GLOs for the Museum’s educational activities. The results of a qualitative and quantitative data analysis show that most participants gave positive feedback to learning effectiveness, attesting to learning goals based on the framework of GLOs set by the organizer. GLOs make it easier for the organizer to focus on the direction of the activity. The findings from this case study suggest that GLOs can serve as a reference for promoting the Museum’s educational activities.

Abstract
The National Science and Technology Museum launched the «Explore IOT Exhibition» in 2017. When curating the exhibition, it included the exhibit education activity: «DIY Unmanned Aerial Vehicle» in its planning to respond in a real time manner to the emerging issue of incorporating information, communication and digital technology into the Curriculum Guidelines for the 12-Year Basic Education, displaying the Museum’s function in supporting formal education. Museum has to be innovative in terms of educational activity to meet various groups’ learning needs. Using «DIY Unmanned Aerial Vehicle» activity as an example, this paper discusses the generic learning outcomes (GLOs) of non-formal educational institutions used in said activity to plan further activities and conduct learning evaluations. The objective is to see if it is feasible to practically use GLOs for the Museum’s educational activities. The results of a qualitative and quantitative data analysis show that most participants gave positive feedback to learning effectiveness, attesting to learning goals based on the framework of GLOs set by the organizer. GLOs make it easier for the organizer to focus on the direction of the activity. The findings from this case study suggest that GLOs can serve as a reference for promoting the Museum’s educational activities.
