In this summer, the e-Learning Development Laboratory had developed a new Summer Institute series in the University of Hong Kong for local and regional secondary school students aging from 11 to 18. In light of the growing development of STEM education in Hong Kong, three STEM-related courses were introduced, namely “Smart STEM for the Smart City”, “Robotic Technologies” and “Future Artificial Intelligence and FinTech”.
We are delighted to have received active enrollments from 114 students, 71 schools and 3 countries, including Hong Kong, Macau, China, United Kingdom and Canada.
The 3 courses were conducted in workshops, supported by lectures, hands-on practical session, competitions, technical visits to reputable fintech & technology centres and at last, applying the knowledge into feasible project plan in teams. Innovation, research and consultation process were involved in the learning model to enrich their self-directed learning experience. Students were encouraged to learn through project-learning, brainstorming, discussion and presentation. The project helped prepare themselves with the essential skills for their learning in the University setting and in the 21st century.
