About this event

You’re never too young to make an impact and become an innovator to create your own future. Join us for 5 days of fun and meaningful activities!

Do you think our city needs more green space? Are you concerned about the poverty around you? During these 5 days, the young innovators will have the opportunity to imagine a more sustainable city, school, or neighborhood. They will journey through a design thinking process to come up with the most innovative ideas and then make a prototype of them. They will experiment with wood, metal, textile, paper, and electronics to make a functional prototype.

Day 1: Discussing to gain some understanding on some of the social and environmental issues of Hong Kong, and identifying the one issue you most want to solve.

Day 2: Embarking on a field trip to acquire on-the-ground knowledge and then coming up with a design concept for addressing this issue.

Day 3: Learning about health-and-safety guidelines to practice different kinds of hands-on skills, then creating a design sketch and choosing suitable materials.

Day 4: Materializing your design to create a prototype. Improving on the prototype and performing further testing.

Day 5: Finalizing the prototype

Time: 10am to 5pm (with 1h lunch break, lunch not included but space will be made available during this time)

Age: 10 to 16 years old

Skills: no prior skills required, just bring your creativity!
