Introduction
e-STEAM@Home Award Scheme is a self-paced student-centered learning program for primary and secondary school students to self-learn at home. The Scheme is offered by HKUST’s Hong Kong Virtual University (HKVU) program and HKUST-Lee Kum Kee Happy Family Learning Center which is supported by Lee Kum Kee Family Foundation. There are multiple topics at different levels for students to explore HKUST’s Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) recommended for senior primary, junior secondary and senior secondary school students. Electronic Award Certificates will be issued by HKVU to the students from Hong Kong primary and secondary schools who have completed the MOOCs in different topics.
This scheme is free-of-charge. You are welcome to enroll into the Scheme directly from HERE.

The Science of Gastronomy, HKUST
About This Course
This course introduces a number of basic scientific principles underpinning the methodology of cooking, food preparation and the enjoyment of food. All topics covered have a strong basis in biology, chemistry, and physics application. Among others, they include the consumption of cooked food, the physiological and evolutionary implication of the senses, geographic and cultural influences on food, and the rationale behind food preparation. We will also discuss issues such as coupling of senses to improve sense stimulation; altering flavor by chemical means; and modification of the coloration to improve the appearance of dishes. Following the video demonstrations of the scientific principles of cooking, you will learn to recognize the key ingredients and their combinations for preparing good healthy food. …Enroll Now
Health Concepts in Chinese Medicine, HKUST
About This Course
Chinese Medicine and Modern Medicine are two distinct medical systems, yet they both aim at the prevention and treatment of human diseases. With this in mind, we should understand the practice of Chinese Medicine in the context of Modern Medicine.
In this course, we explore the basic theories underlying the practice of Chinese Medicine, compare and contrast the use of Chinese Medicine and Modern Medicine in Preventive Health, and discuss how to restore a healthy condition and understand the pharmacological basis of different types of Chinese tonifying herbs. …Enroll Now
Digital Design, HKUST
About This Course
Digital Design is about designing in digital space so that the created contents can be displayed and seen on a digital device. With the availability of high computing power, designers are able to quickly create designs in digital space prior to actual deployment.
In this course, you will learn the fundamental concepts of a wide variety of digital design technology and you will have the opportunity to create your own digital designs and animate them as well. The course focuses on creating 3D objects using a computer-aided design package, creating real life physical simulations and then combining the two techniques to create rendered animations. It will also introduce the virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications. …Enroll Now
Vector Calculus for Engineers, HKUST
About This Course
We cover both basic theory and applications. In the first week we learn about scalar and vector fields, in the second week about differentiating fields, in the third week about integrating fields. The fourth week covers the fundamental theorems of vector calculus, including the gradient theorem, the divergence theorem and Stokes’ theorem. These theorems are needed in core engineering subjects such as Electromagnetism and Fluid Mechanics. …Enroll Now
