GEC was very honoured to invite local Hong Kong grandmaster of memory Mr. Tsz-kit Fong on 3 September 2014 to visit G.T. College to organise an Elementary Memory Induction Course for Grade 8-9 students. The enrollment was enthusiastic. During the course, Mr. Fong used a vivid and interesting way to teach students memory methods. Some individual students also showed their memory talent. From that first encounter, students were able to remember nearly 100 unrelated words within fifteen minutes.
