Why this is important

This project contributes to HKCIN's goals of advancing STEAM education in Hong Kong. By organizing STEAM workshops in local primary schools, the project helps to bridge the gap in STEAM education and expose students to hands-on learning experiences in these subjects. By actively involving volunteers who possess STEAM knowledge and can communicate in Cantonese, the project ensures that the workshops are conducted in a culturally and linguistically accessible manner, maximizing the impact on the student's learning outcomes. Ultimately, the project aims to inspire and motivate students to pursue further studies and careers in STEAM fields, supporting HKCIN's overarching mission of promoting STEAM education and fostering a generation of young innovators and problem solvers.
