RCDSE and GEO have organized a science education program titled “Science World: Exploring Space to Benefit Mankind”, which has launched for secondary school students. The space experiment competition under the programme has attracted 26 experiment proposals from 22 secondary schools. The judging panel, comprising leading PolyU experts including Professor YUNG Kai-leung, Director of the Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations (RCDSE), Professor WU Bo of the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI), Professor Eric CHENG Ka-wai of the Department of Electrical Engineering, and Professor YU Siu-Fung of the Department of Applied Physics, has awarded the championship, first runners-up and second runners-up prizes to teams from Diocesan Boys’ School, Diocesan Girls’ School and St. Paul’s Convent School, respectively. The winning teams will be awarded a grant in cash as an incentive for the students and to help promote STEM education at their schools.

The judging panel evaluated the proposals based on feasibility, creativity, scientific knowledge, scientific value, as well as presentation skills. Experts from the RCDSE will offer guidance and modifications to the winning proposal, so that it could have a chance to be performed at the China Space Station.
