From January to March this year, our hallmark events, "Exploring New Horizons 2025" organised 17 laboratory and enterprise visits, attracting nearly 400 attendees from 21 secondary schools in Hong Kong. These visits offered a straightforward entry point for students to investigate the unfamiliar. Through incredible workshops and sharing sessions, students had the opportunity to interact directly with local scientists and research teams, examine the latest scientific projects, laboratory procedures, gain insights into real-world research challenges, and their daily scientific work. We are pleased and assured that this firsthand information and interactive experiments expended students knowledge and left them inspired.
