The competition aims to provide a platform for youth to create and practice, so that they may begin scientific researched and creation at a young age and put the creative ideas into innovative products. We received a total of 3,877 productions from 187 secondary and primary schools, which was the most as compared to the previous years. The competition is the largest in scale among academic science competitions in Hong Kong so far.
The award ceremony was successfully held at the Jockey Club Auditorium, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University on 16 April 2005. We were honoured to have The Hon. Rita Fan Hsu Lai-tai, JP, President of the Legislative Council, Prof. Paul Chu, The Chief Science Advisor of the Committee and Principal of the University of Science and Technology and Mr William Yiu, Executive Director, Charities and Corporate of the Hong Kong Jockey Club to officiate at the ceremony. It was jolly on the day of the ceremony, when prize winners, parents, teachers, principals and media overwhelmed the Auditorium. We would like to express gratitude to the dedicated judges and teachers and students participating in the competition, whose efforts made the event a great success.
