stated:
‘By
instilling
the
“precision
and
accuracy”
values
of
testing
and
certification
into
their
thinking
from
the
start,
these
young
scientists
aren’t
just
inventing
but
help
elevate
the
standards
of
quality
and
safety.
There
is
always
a
mind-boggling
number
of
innovative
ways
we
can
make
a
difference.
I
will
be
excited
to
see
the
many
good
projects
and
this
special
award
recognises
our
talents
who
are
poised
for
the
future.’
Mr Daryl Ng, Chairman of the Hong Kong Innovation Foundation, said, ‘We are grateful for the ongoing support of the HKSAR Government and our partners in nurturing innovative talent. I am delighted to see the enthusiastic response from schools to this year’s Hong Kong Science Fair. With over 3,000 teachers and students participating, it underscores the aspirations of the next generation in innovation and technology. The quality of entries this year is outstanding, showcasing how AI and various technologies can be integrated to address everyday challenges, support the underprivileged, and promote sustainable development. Creativity in practice is a vital pathway for research development. I would like to express my gratitude to the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau for their commitment to cultivating the talent pool in this field, and to the Hong Kong Council for Testing and Certification for incorporating testing and certification into the Science Fair. This encourages students to blend creativity with theory and practice, establishing a solid foundation for their future endeavours in innovation and technology.’
The Science Fair attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year, providing an exciting glimpse into the vibrant landscape of I&T in Hong Kong through a variety of engaging games and workshops. This year, visitors can explore five captivating interactive zones. The ‘Refined CORNsidue Workshop’ invites children to discover the wonders of food science by transforming corn pulp into nutritious snacks. In ‘Racing Homey Kart’, vintage appliances are converted into remote-controlled cars, allowing participants to race them around a custom-built track in thrilling fashion. The ‘Formula Derby Workshop’ encourages participants to design, build and race their own wooden mini cars, tackling exciting track challenges. In ‘Spin with Battery Hero’, aspiring participants will construct mini electronic motors using batteries, magnets, and wires to embark on a spinning adventure, while the ‘Starry Sky’ zone showcases light refraction and weaving, creating a mesmerising experience that takes participants beyond the galaxy.
This year’s Science Fair offers an array of limited-edition items, including innovation-themed stationery, plush cushions featuring the Science Fair mascots, and trendy mobile phone accessories. Visitors can participate in an on-site stamp game, collecting all four designated stamps around the venue to earn a coupon for the ‘HKSF Bazaar’, adding an extra layer of engagement to their experience. HKIF will use all proceeds from the ‘HKSF Bazaar’, with no deductions, to support the Science Fair and local community technology initiatives, helping to nurture the next generation of innovators.
