\"\"The Greater Bay Area Science Project Competition (GBASPC) is initiated by Gifted Education Council (GEC) and G.T. (Ellen Yeung) College in February 2021. It aims to enhance the interest and passion of secondary school students in science and technology to address global challenges and to connect talented young scientists in the GBA to exchange their knowledge and showcase their innovative ideas. We truly believe that the event would build a network of young science talents in the GBA and connect them with leading science professionals to inspire them to be the next generation of innovators and leaders. The competition receives enormous supports from professors in different tertiary institutions and professionals from science and technology research institutes as Panel Judges in the two rounds of the competition. With the positive impact it brings to the sustainable development of STEM education, GBASPC Organizing Committee is honoured to announce the initiation of the 2nd Greater Bay Area Science Project Competition, GBASPC 2022.<\/p>\n

Nomination of the First Round of the GBASPC 2022 was initiated in February. In mid October, 10 Finalist Teams were selected by a Judging Panel which consisted of 30 professors in different tertiary institutions and 2 professionals from science and technology research institutes to enter the Final Round of the competition. GBASPC Final Round and the STEM Forum cum Award Presentation Ceremony were successfully held on 19 November 2022 in G.T. (Ellen Yeung) College. The event was performed in a hybrid mode. In the morning session, 10 Finalist Teams gave a 10 min presentation followed by a 10 min Q&A session with Judging Panel consisting of 11 university professors and a professional from research institute.<\/p>\n

The STEM Forum cum Award Presentation Ceremony was held in the afternoon. There were 180 participants joining the event. Principal Dr. Tam, Chairperson of the Gifted Education Council and GBASPC Organizing Committee gave an opening speech to welcome all audience.<\/p>\n

It was our great honour to have Prof. Henry Nai Ching Wong, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Founding Member of the Hong Kong Academy of Sciences as the Guest of Honour of the STEM forum. Besides, it was our privilege to have Prof. Reynold Chun Kong Cheng to be the Guest of Honour of the Award Presentation Ceremony on behalf of the President of the University of Hong Kong, Prof. Xiang Zhang.<\/p>\n

The STEM forum was uniquely focused to bring together three leading STEM professionals to share insights about STEM education. Prof. To Ngai, a Professor from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, gave a sharing about the future of plastics, Prof. Siu Ming Yiu, a Professor from The University of Hong Kong, shared his view about coding and STEM and Prof. Hong Ming Lam, a Professor from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, gave his insights about application of STEM in agriculture. Our students were actively participated in the Q&A session. Dr. Christine Yu, Coordinator of GBASPC Organizing Committee, gave the Close Remark after the Prize-giving session to end the event. Our students, Chan Pak Lun (11A) and Tse Zhena (10A) were the MC of the event.<\/p>\n
