Following the Smart City Day Camp training series from February to May this year, the Laboratory is delighted to have received support from the Education Bureau (EDB) for developing a newly-designed training service for the outstanding teams selected from this year’s Smart City Project Programme 2017/18. The selected groups of students and teachers came from 22 schools, 92 students and 3 key stage levels, participated in the Smart City Summer Day Camp series on 20 and 21 August in the University of Hong Kong.
With the aims of enhancing students’ learning ability on new technological knowledge and skills, students were introduced with advanced smart city-related technologies and application and encouraged to solve problems in their daily life. Student and teacher participants have learned the approach of the engineering design cycle and the scientific investigation with interactive learning activities. Teams of students were also invited to share their exceptional project design, following a feedback session by peers and the Laboratory Director Dr. Wilton FOK. Further recommendation on practical technology application can facilitate improvements and nurture technology-based creativity applying in their smart city projects.
The Laboratory strongly support the project-based workshop design that is believed to harness the advantages of self-directed learning and project-based learning, nurturing motivated individuals to learn widely and deeply.
