Community Engagement
STEAM Day@HKUST
STEAM Day@HKUST offers an exciting opportunity for participants to explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics through interactive activities and hands-on experiences. In 2026, activities are organized under the following four categories:
- Life and Environment (生命與環境)
- Matter, Energy and Changes (物質、能量和變化)
- Earth and Space (地球與太空)
- Science, Technology, Engineering and Society (科學、科技、工程與社會)
From thrilling competitions and robot showcases to hands-on DIY corners and fun challenges, there’s something for students, teachers, and the public! 130 activities and programs including Interactive Game Booths / Project Demonstrations, DIY Corners, Robot Demonstration & Display from University Student Teams as well as STEAM Competition Experience, are designed to spark interest in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) among more than 5,000 participants throughout the three-day event.
STEAM Tutor Team
The STEAM Tutor Team was founded in 2018 with the aim of providing training for undergraduate students from diverse disciplines who are passionate about STEAM. The programme empowers students to apply their knowledge and skills to serve the community. Over the years, STEAM tutors have been equipped with technical expertise and hands‑on experience in designing, developing, and delivering STEAM workshops and activities for school students and the general public.
不同背景的學生均可參與計劃的各種活動，旨在提升學生自信，並為整體社會創造和諧與正面氣氛。我們善用參加者的反饋和評估來衡量iSTEAM的影響，並透過與其他大專院校合作，推動專上學生在計劃中把二十一世紀技能學以致用。
我們相信計劃能燃亮學生對學習科學、數學、工程的興趣，啟發更多青少年成為科學家和工程師，也鼓勵培養對有特殊需要人士的同理心。
「水底機械人大賽」是滙豐／科大青少年機械人計劃其中一項重要活動，承蒙香港上海滙豐銀行有限公司慷慨贊助，在2017至2020連續三個學年提供獨特的iSTEAM（即共融、科學、科技、工程、藝術和數學） 教育平台。計劃由超過250名大專生負責，他們帶領逾5,500名小四至中三的學生和老師，一同享受體驗式學習和社區參與活動。參加者包括有特殊教育需要、殘障、來自弱勢社群和少數族裔的學生和他們的老師。
HKUST - ExxonMobil iSTEAM Program
The program is driven by two core, highly interconnected activities. First, it focuses on the comprehensive training of HKUST university students from various disciplines. Through this phase, the program equips these university students with practical project management skills, alongside hands-on expertise in project design, hardware, and software.
Second, the program empowers these university students to utilize what they have learned to deliver STEAM knowledge to younger generations through a workshop and competition. Serving primary and secondary school students, this event challenges younger participants to work in teams to build, program, and operate robots for strategic missions. By acting as mentors and tutors, HKUST students actively bridge the gap between higher education and youth development, fostering hands-on problem-solving and inspiring the next generation of STEAM innovators.
為聽障兒童而設的應用程式
計算機科學及工程學系的王啟新教授、胡錦添教授及研究助理林志強先生為聽障兒童研發了聽力及言語訓練應用程式，以安卓手機應用程式技術，革新了現有的紙本聽覺訓練工具。本流動移動應用程式方便在家訓練，並為家長和老師提供更有效的支援。兒童用者的表現可以發送給治療師以評估學習進度，家長或孩子也可以在社交媒體上分享進步情況。
此應用程式於2014及2015年「無障礙網頁嘉許計劃」獲得金獎。
凸字打印機
由兩位2010年度電子及計算機工程學系畢業生製作的凸字打印機大大降低了印刷成本，同時提升了把文字轉化為凸字的效率。這款為視障人士而設的創新工具不但方便用家，而且屢獲本地和國際工程設計獎的殊榮。

Android App for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
Three Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) students and Dr. Jogesh K. MUPPALA volunteered their free time to implement an Android App for Médecins Sans Frontières Hong Kong (無國界醫生). The app was designed to help MSF with their awareness raising and fundraising efforts. The app, featuring support for English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, enables users to access the latest field news, photos and videos of MSF, as well as frontline sharing of MSF field workers. It is available for free from the Google Play store.
