HKETA Youth Subcommittee is proud to announce that our STEM Club has been well established in Jan this year in which the platform is developed and operated by a group of young members and professionals.  We target to develop and deliver STEM activity, and workshop programs that could promote interest in STEM technology among young students and talents into the local community in Hong Kong.   We also fully support a lot of STEM events and activities including technical workshops and STEM sharing programs in industry sectors, academic institutes and local universities in Hong Kong. 

Our STEM Club will plan to organize an annual STEM competition: “Innovate for Future” on 16^th Nov, this year.  Innovate for Future is an open competition to inspire young secondary school students in Hong Kong to build products to solve real life problems through idea to prototype development.  Our theme of this competition is “Society” – Smarter Living, Smarter Schools, and Smarter City.  In this competition, students will demonstrate an innovative idea and build a product prototype to solve problems in the society.  Competition will provide mentorship coaching and support during hardware and software prototype development before final pitch. 

This competition is supported by our international partner, San Jose State University (SJSU) and her Silicon Valley Centre for Global Studies (SVCG).  The final champion will have opportunity to connect to an international STEM submit and showcase the project under SJSU.  With the partnership and support by SJSU, we encourage to explore join programs and collaboration in the areas of STEM training program, cyber-security and smart city applications.

“We are very exciting to organize this event in Hong Kong by our HKETA Youth team.  This STEM competition may have good opportunity for our young students to understand better about our real life by using technology.  Students can participate how to create new application or improve real life problem based on their innovative ideas.” Said Ms Monica Leung, our HKETA Youth Member, STEM Club Chair and Organizing Committee Chair of this STEM Competition.   “Our STEM Club will continue to support STEM activity to local schools in Hong Kong and foster STEM technology in the local community.”
