The nomination period for the Hong Kong Student Science Project Competition (HKSSPC) 2025 has begun. We are offering a series of training seminars and workshops for all participants to enhance their understanding of scientific experimentation. These workshops aim to improve students’ skills in experimental design, research skills, data analysis, design thinking, social innovation, and presentation skills. These skills are crucial for participating in the science competition as they help students conduct research, solve problems, innovate, and effectively communicate their findings. This year, we have added the Annual Theme Award on the topic of “Rare Diseases” and are pleased to have invited Professor Edwin Chan from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, an expert in this field, to share his knowledge and experience with us. Students and teachers please do not miss this opportunity.
