Students from the School of Science and Technology were rewarded for their endeavours in innovation and technology in various categories of the Tertiary stream in the 7th Greater Bay Area STEAM Excellence Award 2025 (HKSAR).
Electronic and Computer Engineering students Chan Chi-kong and To Tin-lam each won a Bronze Award in the Information and Communication Technologies and Artificial Intelligence categories, respectively. Chan Chi-kong's project, “Air Drum Kit”, introduced a virtual drum kit that facilitates convenient drum learning, practice and busking by mimicking drum-playing actions and eliminating the need for physical instruments. To Tin-lam's project, “AI for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Detection”, proposed a risk-assessment platform for instant, reliable, scalable and adaptable detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Additionally, two student teams from the Computer Science programme received Merit Awards in the Information and Communication Technologies category. Kenneth Charles Ting, Law Chun-kit and Rejul Rai, with the support of industry partner ThinkThinkSyn Limited, designed a multilingual platform, called “Legal Chatbot for Minority Ethnic Groups”, that provides accurate, Hong Kong-specific legal information to assist Hong Kong ethnic minorities navigating legal issues. The second project, “Smart Glasses for Hearing Impaired in Hong Kong”, by Chui Tsz-ching, Yip On-tik, Lee Chak-yin and Eugene Wu Long-fung, introduced Smart Subtitle Glasses to enhance accessibility and communication for individuals with hearing impairments.
Computer Engineering student Chan Kwok-kin received a Merit Award in the Artificial Intelligence category for his project, “AI-Powered Mobile Robot for Guiding Rehabilitation Sessions”. Collaborating with the Community Rehabilitation Service Support Centre of the Hospital Authority, Chan developed a navigation and feedback software module for a mobile robotic assistant designed to guide patients during rehabilitation exercises.
Organised by the Hong Kong New Emerging Technology Education Association, the Greater Bay Area STEAM Excellence Award aims to foster creativity and innovation among students while recognising schools, teachers and young talent for their contributions to STEAM education.
