About the Institute

Junior Science Institute (JSI) was introduced by the Faculty in 2009. It offers science-rich experience to scientifically-inclined senior secondary school students. A series of hands-on learning programmes are designed to offer participating students a wider exposure to different science disciplines all year round. Through a variety of inspiring workshops, laboratory exercises, field trips, public lectures and other interactive activities, participants are able to embark on a journey of science exploration.

12 JSI workshops in the areas of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biological Sciences, Statistics and Earth Sciences were offered to over 500 F.4 to F.7 secondary school students successfully in 2010-11.

Let’s hear from our participants for their unique experience:

"This is an excellent experience for secondary school students."

"It can enhance my understanding in astronomy. It also provides me with precious opportunity in using telescope for star -gazing."

"We can learn something that we can’t learn at school."

"It is a golden opportunity for us to explore more about the subject that we are interested in. It also allows us to have a glimpse of university life."
