Prof. Bo WU, Associate Head of LSGI commended the students’ innovative designs and encouraged them to further explore opportunities in the Nation’s thriving space research and developments.
PolyU organised the space-theme programme “Pioneering the Moon: From Exploration to Base Construction”, aiming to cultivate young people’s interest in aerospace technology and in contributing to the Nation’s space development. The programme was sponsored by the Bank of China (Hong Kong) (BOCHK) and supported by the Chinese Society of Astronautics and the Hong Kong Society of Astronautics. The Lunar Base Design Competition received over 40 design proposals from students of 28 secondary schools and international schools in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. An award ceremony was held on 30 May at the Chiang Chen Studio Theatre at the PolyU campus, attended by nearly 200 experts, students, teachers and parents.
The judging panel praised the participating students for their outstanding creativity and scientific talent, inspiring the next generation of space explorers and innovators. Prof. WU Bo, Associate Head of LSGI, commended the students’ innovative designs and encouraged them to further refine their works and explore opportunities in the Nation’s thriving space research and developments.
The competition challenged students to develop comprehensive lunar base designs across multiple themes where LSGI's expertise is particularly relevant, including lunar spatial planning, robotic mapping systems, and environmental monitoring. After evaluation by the expert panel, teams from Pui Kiu College, ESF Sha Tin College, and St. Paul's Convent School (Secondary Section) won champion, first runner-up, and second runner-up respectively.
LSGI promotes spatial data science and geo-informatics education while contributing to the growing achievements of China in space exploration.
