Cyberport Academy Co-organises inaugural CAFEA Young Talent Smart City Forum

⋯⋯⋯⋯

Jointly organised by Cyberport community member CAFEA Smart City Limited and the Cyberport Academy, the 1st CAFEA Young Talent Smart City Forum was successfully held in July at Cyberport.

 

To encourage students to unleash their creativity in combining scientific and technological knowledge acquired from school, projects and academic articles on smart city proposals were collected from local secondary schools. 25 teams from 80 secondary school students entered the final stage. Three winning teams are selected by the judging panel.

 

Rosaryhill Secondary School’s “How Can Virtual Reality (VR) Enhance Students’ Learning Experiences in History Subject” has won the Best Academic Article Award. The winning team said “We are excited that our study receives recognition. History is an essential subject that allows us to learn from the past and gaze into the future. With Virtual Reality, students can deepen their history knowledge in a more concrete way while those with learning disability can also be taken care of.” 

 

The projects of “AISight: An AI-powered Object Detector for the Visually-impaired” and “LyncPlant: An AI Computer-visioned Plant Health Monitoring System for Farmers and Gardeners” from The Chinese Foundation Secondary School have won the Most Innovative Project Award and Best Demonstration Award.

“International metropolises are emerging into smart cities, hoping to use technology to enhance the quality and convenience of public services and eradicate problems arising from resources efficiency, pollution, food safety, energy efficiency, health, environmental sustainability and so on. Smart campuses are exemplars of the smart education system as well as microcosms of smart cities, allowing students to think, create, apply and realize innovative ideas. We are honoured to host this forum with Cyberport Academy, which enable us to fulfill our social commitment in nurturing the younger generation for the betterment of Hong Kong," said Christine Yip, Founder of CAFEA Smart City Limited.

 

"Innovation and Technology is essential in building a liveable smart city. It also has to be people-oriented. In this forum, we can better understand how our young generation wants the smart city development to be and their vision. They are also encouraged to turn their innovative ideas into real-life applications with the I&T knowledge acquired from classrooms. They are nurtured to be I&T talents with solid knowledge and practical experience, and then contribute to the development of our future's smart city," said Peter Yan, Chief Executive Officer of Cyberport.
