The PolyU Design Hatch Awards is a distinctive design incubation programme for secondary school students in Hong Kong — a first of its kind competition organised by the School of Design. The launch held on 15 September 2023 was a great success, gathering over 100 students, teachers and parents to kick start the Hatch Awards and thus serving as the perfect gateway to meet and engage potential participants.
Highlight of the day was undoubtedly the sharing by our judging panel where Dr Yi-Teng SHIH, Dr Clifford CHOY, Dr Jeffery HO, Mr Kam Fai CHAN and Mr Manto YIU took turns to explain various excellent projects. Together with brief introduction on different design fields and sharing of their expectations on the entries, students’ understanding of each category, namely Communication Design, Community, Space and Service Design, Product Experience Design, Play Design as well as AI and Future Design could be enhanced. Followed by a Q&A session, the interactive exchange of ideas and knowledge further fuelling the students' curiosity and passion for design. Interested students are encouraged to seize this exceptional opportunity to showcase their talents, challenge themselves, and make a positive impact through design. Looking forward to seeing their creativity shine at the Hatch Awards!
