8th Engineering InnoShow
Innovation Academy organised the 8th Engineering Inno Show with the theme “Pitch your innovative ideas 2023” on April 28, 2023 at Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing, The University of Hong Kong.
This contest allowed Engineering undergraduates, taught postgraduates and InnoHub members to present their project ideas and recruit prospective teammates. The process helped to improve students’ ability to effectively advocate an idea or proposal to a large group of audience. It also provided an opportunity and flexibility for students to form their own teams and grow their community of interest and passion.
More than 30 projects were showcased in the InnoShow. The Judging team consisted of faculty members from the Faculty of Engineering and Academic Champion of other Faculties in HKU. “Inno Show Award” and the “Super Inno Show Award” were awarded to the outstanding teams, here are the awarded teams:
