The School of Engineering Alumni Family Fun Day was successfully held on 12 Apr 2015 (Sun) on campus. Over 120 engineering alumni and faculty families joined this joyful event, contributing to a total of 430+ attendees. It provided a great opportunity for alumni to reminisce with fellow classmates and professors, share their recent news and enjoy a relaxed and fun-filled afternoon in nice weather with their families at their alma mater. Alumni had been excited to meet their respected teachers, all long-time familiar faces. They chattered about their career development and personal life enthusiastically, rekindling the happy memories of their school days.

The fun day was held at the lawn of HKUST campus and featured a variety of play booths, with games like Imagination Playground, Roller Slide and Rigamajig that stimulated kids’ creativity and unlock their limitless potential. The educational building kit Rigamajig (in Chinese: 小小工程師) enabled children to build robots, cars, spaceships or whatever they want freely, using materials such as wooden planks, wheels, pulleys, nuts and bolts. The game empowered children to learn about engineering and design through playing, with their engineer parents guiding and assisting from an engineer’s point of view.

Snack counters and a photo booth were also set up. Alumni and their families took instant photos with colorful props at the photo booth, bringing home photos of happy faces and fond memories. Children also enjoyed ice-cream, popcorn and candy floss.

The fun day was well-received and alumni welcome similar family events to be held again in the future.
