PolyU is launching a space-themed education programme entitled “Building the Future: Robotics for the International Lunar Research Station” in the 2025/26 school year, which leverages PolyU’s advances in space research to inspire creativity and passion for space exploration among secondary school students. As part of the programme, Prof. Wu BO, Fiona Cheung Professor in Spatial Science, and Associate Director of the Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations, will give a public lecture to share his insights into setting up a lunar research station and robotics in space on 24 January 2026. Another highlight of the programme is Lunar Robot Design Competition, which aims to foster innovation across STEM disciplines, specifically focusing on lunar robotics design. The competition is open to secondary school students in Hong Kong and the GBA. Each team will be required to submit a written proposal comprising a conceptual design and technical drawings, followed by a prototype of their robot in 3D printed or digital model/animation format.
