Sing Tao Daily reported on our school’s participation in the “Solar Future Challenge 2023” competition, organized by CarbonCare InnoLab and sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. Students Yeung Yuen Ting and Tjhang Choi Ling from 4A won the Solar Energy Researcher category with their project titled “Occupational Safety Assistant.”.
Students recognized the public concern for the safety of outdoor workers, who are exposed to both the sun and rain, as well as a number of hidden risks. As a result, they developed the “Occupational Safety Assistant,” which combines a number of functions to reduce the risks that workers face. There are three main components of the device: a reflective vest, a helmet, and a solar panel. Various sensors can be installed to detect the environment as well as the condition of the worker. In the event that the device detects that a worker collapses suddenly, it will automatically notify the safety supervisor through a mobile application so that he or she can take immediate action.
They won the Solar Energy Researcher category of the “Solar Energy Future Challenge 2023”, earning a prize of HKD 10,000 for further development. This achievement was not the end of the student team’s efforts. They utilized the prize money and resources to further improve their project.
We place great emphasis on STEAM education at our school, and have established the Active Learning Center, the Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (AIoT) Laboratory, as well as the Dream Studio. The concept and implementation of their project, “Occupational Safety Assistant,” also originated from the Dream Studio. As one of the champion schools of the “CUHK-Jockey Club AI for the future” Project, we have incorporated artificial intelligence learning units into junior high school computer science curriculums. A course on artificial intelligence education is offered to all students. Additionally, the school offers STEAM-related courses, such as Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), Internet of Things, Big Data Science, and Metaverse Deep Learning, to further enhance students’ technological knowledge and development.
Mr. Iu Ka Wang, who led the students in participating in the competition, stated that the school strongly encourages students to engage in innovative technology. When ChatGPT was first introduced, the school’s immediate response was not to prohibit students from using it, but rather to explain to students, teachers, and parents how to effectively and responsibly utilize AI for learning. As technology is an inevitable trend, the school believes it would be beneficial to learn how to utilize it effectively.
