Promoting Science Education

Science Student Ambassadors Scheme

The Science Student Ambassador (SSA) Scheme offers a unique opportunity for passionate science students to represent our Faculty to promote science literacy and our programmes to secondary school students and the general public. As an SSA, you will also have the opportunity to share your own experiences with the students, to support in the logistical arrangements of different events, and to participate in photo-taking and video-filming, making this role an excellent platform to develop your interpersonal and technical skills, creativity, and more.

 

Our SSAs have been providing invaluable assistance in various Faculty events and activities. They will have the opportunity to take on a range of roles, including but not limited to

  • Events and Activities: Assist in the logistics of Faculty events, particularly outreach events and activities for secondary school students, such as HKU Information Day, Junior Science Institute (JSI), Campus Visits, and more.
  • Video & Photography: Participate in short video production and photo-taking for the Faculty's publicity materials.
  • Emcee & Narration: Serve as the master of ceremony in Faculty-wide events or narrator for Faculty videos.
  • Outreach to High School: Connect with your alma mater and join the sharing sessions with secondary school students.
