Silver Prize Winner – Alertgy, Good Hope School.
Bronze Prize Winner – CogniGym: Bridging Cognitive Rehabilitation and Digital Health for Concussion Recovery, True Light Girls' College. | The Faculty hosted the Science Communication YouTuber Challenge 2025: Everyday Science Hackathon, inviting local secondary school students to identify pressing everyday problems and harness scientific knowledge to develop innovative app-based solutions, which they presented through creative five-minute videos designed to engage and inspire a broad audience. The 2025 challenge drew an enthusiastic response, with over 120 students from 24 schools across Hong Kong forming teams to take on the role of science storytellers. Participants demonstrated not only strong scientific understanding but also remarkable creativity and teamwork. Each team tackled contemporary science issues, ranging from environmental sustainability to health and technology, presenting their solutions in accessible language and imaginative formats that captivated both the judging panel and the wider public. We congratulate the winning teams and thank all participants for their enthusiasm and commitment. Through their creativity and collaboration, these students have demonstrated how science can be communicated in ways that are both engaging and relevant to everyday life. |
Junior Science Institute Ignites Passion for Science in Young Minds
A hall filled with anticipation as young minds got a preview of the exciting learning experiences awaiting them at the opening ceremony.
Participants got hands-on with a telescope, learning the observational techniques that have enabled humanity to map the cosmos.
In an engaging session on the surprising applications of mathematics, students discovered how principles of logic and probability can create illusions that seem to read your mind.
Throughout the day, participants explored a diverse array of scientific fields through six dynamic workshops. The sessions covered topics in chemistry, mathematics, physics, environmental science, ecology and biotechnology, featuring hands-on activities such as “Exploring Colour Changes in Chemical Reactions” and “Using AI to Conduct Bird Surveys”. Through a carefully curated blend of laboratory exercises, engaging lectures, and interactive discussions, students were offered a glimpse into university-level study and the excitement of scientific discovery.
The programme was a resounding success, providing students with an invaluable opportunity to experience the vibrant learning environment at HKU. Upon completion, all participants received a certificate of attendance, and their participation will be taken into consideration during admissions to the 6901 Bachelor of Science programme, reinforcing the Faculty’s dedication to nurturing future scientific talent.
