About SMArt
The Faculty of Science of The
University of Hong Kong (the Faculty) is dedicated to
enhancing scientific literacy among the community and
nurturing our younger generation’s interest in science.
The SMArt (Science, Mathematics and
Art) Programme co-organized by the Faculty
and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation
(HKSTP) aims to
achieve these objectives via offering to secondary
school students hands-on workshops that connect science,
mathematics and art together. We would like to inspire
more junior secondary school students to be more
well-rounded and appreciate the connection between
science, mathematics and art through the following
activities:
1.
The SMART Weekend (January
16, 2016 at HKU and January 17, 2016 at HKSTP) – This programme is to be
offered to F.1 to F.3 students of local schools (Y.7 to
Y.9 students of international schools). It consists of
(a) interactive lectures delivered by our professors on
relevant scientific research and its impact, (b) live
demonstrations, and (c) five hands-on workshops
integrating science, mathematics and art for
participants to choose from;
2. The SMART Exhibition (January – June, 2016)
– After the above programme, we will hold a series of
exhibitions to showcase the artworks created by our
participants. In the exhibitions, general audiences
will learn and appreciate the involved science through
viewing the artworks and reading our written
explanations of the underlying theories or phenomena on
the posters or pamphlets. Selected artworks will be
displayed in the MTR Central Station from March 1 to
March 31, 2016.
Fee: $300 (will be collected after accepting the offer)
