Since 2019, the "Love. Innovate for Happy Ageing 愛．創耆樂" programme has upheld the mission of nurturing the younger generation to care for the elderly and to develop innovative solutions that improve the lives of seniors through technology. The programme consists of a Design Competition and a Challenge Competition, and has so far engaged around 2,000 young participants.
Following the inspiring Tencent STEAM for Good "Love. Innovate for Happy Ageing" Design Competition held last Saturday (10 January 2026), the 6th Biomedical Engineering Innovation Competition "Love. Innovate for Happy Ageing 愛．創耆樂" Challenge Competition, co-organised by the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council and the Department of Biomedical Engineering of PolyU, also reached a meaningful conclusion on 17 January 2026 at the PolyU campus.
Embodying the spirit of "Love. Innovate for Happy Ageing," the Challenge Competition is an intergenerational tournament featuring robotic cars in two categories: Micro:bit and LEGO. The competition includes team contests for Micro:bit and LEGO cars, as well as an individual contest for Micro:bit cars. In the team competitions, participants control their robotic cars to target the balloons attached to their opponents' cars while defending their own balloons. In the individual contest, participants use Micro:bit cars to navigate an obstacle course.
The event encouraged enthusiastic and inclusive participation from primary and secondary school students, as well as seniors over 60 years old. More than 70 teams took part in the Micro:bit and LEGO team competitions, while 77 individuals entered the Micro:bit individual competition, filling the day with laughter, excitement, and energy.
The programme continues to inspire young innovators to harness technology for the benefit of the ageing community, fostering a culture of care, creativity, and social responsibility - and bringing hope for a brighter, more inclusive future for all generations.
