25 Faces Series – Words from Undergraduate Wons Julius Constantin
In celebration of our 25th Anniversary, a growing collection of videos was made to feature the remarkable community at HKUST – past and present. “I hope that I can make more unforgettable memories with my friends here. And they can show me a little bit more about Hong Kong so that when I go back to Germany next year I can bring back some of the Hong Kong culture back to my home country.” our undergraduate Wons Julius Constantin said.

Experience “Be Our Guest”
Eager to play a part in helping HKUST’s local and overseas students cross cultural barriers and get to know each other better, a group of Year 3 business students launched the “Be Our Guest” dinner hosting program, an initiative which won them the President’s 1-HKUST Student Life Award.
If you want to break the ice between local and overseas students and learn more about each other’s cultures, what better way to do it than by sharing food together? Better still, why not make it a truly authentic experience by hosting the meal at a student’s own home, round a big table Chinese-style?
This was the thought that struck Jason Yuen after he joined the Exchange Buddy programme in Year 1 at HKUST and decided to invite two German and Russian students home for dinner. “There were lots of funny moments, but overall it worked very well,” he recalls. “I wondered whether we could make it into a regular program”.

科大水底机械人大赛向多元背景的年青人推动「STEAM教育」
香港科技大学(科大)举办年度水底机械人大赛,吸引三百名来自四十二间中小学的学生参与一连四日的活动,参与人数创历届新高。科大一向致力推动社会共融及机械人教育,该比赛邀请来自主流学校、有特殊教育需要(SEN)、肢体残障以及少数族裔学生共同参加,制作自己的机械人。
科大环球社会中心(GCE)在比赛前,举行一个为期半日的工作坊,有近四十名来自不同领域的学生导师,教导参赛者制作机械人的基础知识,这亦是科大与香港教育大学及香港理工大学首次在教学指导上合作,这群学生导师负责在比赛时指导参赛团队。所有参赛学校需要亲自设计并从零开始制作水底机械人。
比赛分为两部分,在第一部分,每间学校的代表会操作各自制作的机械人,在限时内完成不同的水底任务以取得分数,这些任务包括收集、移动及建造物件,第二部分则需要三间学校合作,共同运用各自制作的机械人完成任务。而于第二部分的比赛中,最能展示团队精神的学校获颁联校最佳共融奖。透过参与比赛,学生可以学习到海洋保育的知识,例如在海床清理垃圾及建筑珊瑚塔等。
科大环球社会中心总监胡锦添教授说:「我们很高兴今次比赛反应非常热烈,学生不但可以学习到有关机械人的基础知识,亦有机会可以理解到科学、科技、工程、艺术及数学(STEAM)如何在真实世界上应用。今次比赛提供一个良好的平台,让来自不同文化背景以及有不同教育需要的学生可以共同合作。」
这是科大第三年举办水底机械人大赛,自从2015年的首届赛事以来,活动共吸引来自八十五间学校、逾六百名学生参与。
备注﹕STEAM为科学、科技、工程、艺术及数学的英语前缀缩略简称。
