[HKUST School of Science] Invitation to Science Laboratory Workshops (2025)

Led by a team of undergraduate students under the supervision of our faculty members from the School of Science, the workshops aim at providing learning experience in science disciplines in our well-equipped teaching facilities. Through interactive learning and interesting demonstrations, it helps strengthen secondary school students\’ concepts in science. Besides, undergraduate students will be on hand to share their learning experience at the HKUST. Secondary 4 to 5 students (or equivalent academic levels) are welcome to join us.
