“Dark-sky-friendly Lighting Fixture STEM Competition" to raise public awareness of the severe light pollution problem in Hong Kong

May 26, 2019

The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering jointly organised the "Dark-sky-friendly Lighting Fixture STEM Competition" with HKU Department of Physics, the Ho Koon Nature Education cum Astronomical Centre (Sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen), in association with the Hong Kong Space Museum, to raise public awareness of the severe light pollution problem in Hong Kong. Students and teachers were engaged to show how STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) knowledge can be applied to reduce the adverse effects of light pollution. The winning team members also presented their entries in person to the public during the HK SciFest 2019.

In the Competition, students worked on outdoor lighting fixture products which can minimise or reduce impacts of light pollution using STEM knowledge. For more details of the competition, please visit https://www.hku.hk/press/press-releases/detail/19488.html.
