HKU Taster@Christmas 2015

Jan 2, 2016
The Faculty of Engineering co-organized the HKU Taster@Christmas 2015 with the Admissions and Academic Liaison Section on December 29-30, 2015. 100 Form 1 to 3 students from top local and international schools joined the session “Build your own robot” under the guidance of the RoboCon team of the Faculty. Participants applied their science, mathematics and programming skills to build a robotic car capable of carrying out simple tasks through wireless remote control and simple codes, and enjoyed the taste of solving real life problems from the hands-on activities. The activity proves to be a success in raising students’ interest in studying engineering in their senior school studies, and was highly rated by participants in their Facebook pages and the evaluation survey.
