Message from Chairperson
The Underwater Robot Competition is supported by Center for Global & Community Engagement, School of Engineering of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. It will continue to offer a unique platform for iSTEAM (Inclusion, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) education and engage tertiary students to lead students from P.4 to S.3, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), disabilities, the underprivileged and ethnic minorities, and teachers to take part in this experiential learning and community engagement initiative.
iSTEAM IS OUR CORE BELIEF
With the strong engineering support from HKUST, we are confident that the Competition will be an excellent platform for iSTEAM, with objectives below:
- Develop experiential learning for iSTEAM education through robotics;
- Nurture students at young age for future skills;
- Empower tertiary students to put 21st century skills into practice;
- Contribute to the wellbeing and inclusiveness of society &
- Encourage multi-disciplinary collaboration.
We believe that this programme can ignite students’ interest in learning science, mathematics & engineering and inspire more to become scientists and engineers as well as their empathy for others who have special needs.
