Student engineering projects exhibition
The Education Department will stage an exhibition tomorrow (Saturday) on students' projects on metalworks, and electronics and electricity.
The display aims at encouraging teachers and students to think creatively through planning and working in engineering and promoting technical subjects as part of general education.
Some 120 projects by secondary five students from 18 prevocational schools submitted to the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examinations (HKCEE) for assessment are displayed.
To design and conduct their own projects, students had to analyse the questions set out for HKCEE carefully and carry out thorough research.
Despite the limitation of resources, they managed to realise their imagination and creativity by using the tools and facilities available in their schools.
The displays, including a trolley, a mechanical robot arm, a quiz-master system and a battery voltage level indicator, showed originality and demonstrated the students' expertise in craftsmanship.
The exhibition will run until November 9. About 1,000 students have already signed in to visit the exhibition.
The opening hours are from 9 am to 12.30 pm and 2 pm to 4.30 pm from Monday to Friday and from 9 am to 11.30 am on Saturday.
Members of the public are welcome to visit the exhibition at the Technical Teaching Centre on the ground floor, 145 Junction Road, Lok Fu, Kowloon.
