In September 2023, Hong Kong was hit by severe weather, including typhoon Saola and unprecedented rainfall, which forced school closures on consecutive days. Climate change has already impacted students' everyday lives.
To equip students with the confidence and ability to mitigate the effects of climate change, we should empower our future generation with scientific literacy, technological problem-solving skills, and most importantly, the ability to advocate for policy changes. By leveraging the power of public speaking and engaging in cross-sector collaboration, Big Bang Academy believes that students can join hands to drive significant systemic change in sustainable development amidst the global crisis.
The Inter-school Student Leader STEAM Public Speaking Contest 2024, coupled with the Green Leadership STEAM Training Program, aims to empower students to become environmentally conscious future leaders, who can not only develop innovative solutions but also lobby for resources from diverse stakeholders. Therefore, they could join hands to lead Hong Kong to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Upper Primary students could choose either theme to advocate for changes:
1
Investigate science and technology concepts of hot topic
2
Conduct hands-on experiments and utilise data in assigned projects to address real-world climate issues
3
Visit tech companies to interact with industry experts
Data
Analytics
Encourage students to draw research conclusions with data
Real-world Context
Empower future leaders to tackle issues in the 21st century
Start-up Role Model
Expose students to real-world technology leaders to fuel their passion in the industry
