TouchStart Science Summer Programme 2024

The 3-day programme created for science-inclined secondary school students interested in experiencing scientific studies at HKU has been successfully completed. This year, our programme featured two engaging workshops with a central focus on artificial intelligence (AI).

"The Mathematical Foundations Behind AI" workshop delved into the essential mathematical concepts, such as computation, optimisation, and probability, that underpin the development of AI systems. In the "Generative AI: Applications and Implications" workshop, participants were introduced to techniques for generating high-quality content using generative AI and explored the diverse applications and potential implications of this cutting-edge technology.

Through demonstrations, science talks, hands-on activities, and an information session, the participants gained a deeper understanding of advanced scientific topics and the dynamic learning environment at HKU.
