Introduction 比賽介紹

poster_sytc2024The Faculty of Science at PolyU aims to cultivate the next generation of young scientists by organising the “PolyU SCIENCE Young Talents Competition” for secondary school students. This event, which runs from January to March 2024, offers two rounds of competition to assess participants' theoretical knowledge while also giving them a chance to gain hands-on laboratory experience. This allows them to explore their interests and get a first-hand look at advanced research facilities at PolyU.


Participating teams will take part in an online Preliminary Round, with the qualified teams progressing to the Final Competition at PolyU. During the final stage, teams will have the opportunity to conduct exciting and challenging experiments in PolyU laboratories. All questions and tasks throughout the competition will be centred around four areas: Biology and Food Science, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics.

In addition to receiving attractive cash rewards, the overall winning teams will have the opportunity to intern with our Star Professors during Summer 2024. We warmly invite you to participate in this thrilling competition!

為培育下一代科學青年人才,理學院將於2024年1月至3月舉辦「理大科學青年人才比賽」。比賽旨在評估中學生的理論知識,並在理大的先進實驗室中提供實踐學習的機會,讓參賽者能夠發掘對科學的興趣。


比賽將分為兩個階段。 隊伍將於第一輪出席線上預賽。表現優秀的隊伍將獲邀到理大校園進行決賽。 在決賽中,參賽隊伍將在理大實驗室參與有趣且具有挑戰性的實驗,兩個階段的問題和任務將涵蓋生物與食品科學、化學、數學及物理四個科目。


除了可以獲得豐富的現金獎外,勝出隊伍更能獲得於2024年暑假參與理學院星級教授研究實習的寶貴機會。歡迎大家踴躍報名參加!
