IPO provides students with daily selected fruits in supporting of their final examinations

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.

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”.

香港科技大學（科大）舉辦年度水底機械人大賽，吸引三百名來自四十二間中小學的學生參與一連四日的活動，參與人數創歷屆新高。科大一向致力推動社會共融及機械人教育，該比賽邀請來自主流學校、有特殊教育需要(SEN)、肢體殘障以及少數族裔學生共同參加，製作自己的機械人。 科大環球社會中心(GCE)在比賽前，舉行一個為期半日的工作坊，有近四十名來自不同領域的學生導師，教導參賽者製作機械人的基礎知識，這亦是科大與香港教育大學及香港理工大學首次在教學指導上合作，這群學生導師負責在比賽時指導參賽團隊。所有參賽學校需要親自設計並從零開始製作水底機械人。 比賽分為兩部分，在第一部分，每間學校的代表會操作各自製作的機械人，在限時內完成不同的水底任務以取得分數，這些任務包括收集、移動及建造物件，第二部分則需要三間學校合作，共同運用各自製作的機械人完成任務。而於第二部分的比賽中，最能展示團隊精神的學校獲頒聯校最佳共融獎。透過參與比賽，學生可以學習到海洋保育的知識，例如在海床清理垃圾及建築珊瑚塔等。 科大環球社會中心總監胡錦添教授說：「我們很高興今次比賽反應非常熱烈，學生不但可以學習到有關機械人的基礎知識，亦有機會可以理解到科學、科技、工程、藝術及數學(STEAM)如何在真實世界上應用。今次比賽提供一個良好的平台，讓來自不同文化背景以及有不同教育需要的學生可以共同合作。」 這是科大第三年舉辦水底機械人大賽，自從2015年的首屆賽事以來，活動共吸引來自八十五間學校、逾六百名學生參與。 備註﹕STEAM為科學、科技、工程、藝術及數學的英語字首縮略簡稱。 有關香港科技大學
