Objectives and Contents of Junior Science Institute (JSI)
Junior Science Institute (JSI) was introduced by the Faculty in 2009. It offers science-rich experiences to scientifically-inclined senior secondary school students. We have designed a series of hands on learning programmes for students to expose to different science disciplines. Through a variety of inspiring workshops, laboratory exercises, field trips, lectures and other interactive activities, participants are able to embark on a journey of science exploration.
In 2015-16, 24 JSI workshops in the areas of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics were offered. Over 600 local and international secondary school students from F.4 to F.6 and Years 10 to 13, respectively, completed the programme successfully. Students had the opportunities to broaden their horizons in various science disciplines.
