For the eighth time in the Academic Year 2022/23, the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) launched the annual student-oriented event, The HSUHK Innovation Project Competition 2023 (hereafter “the Competition”)! With the strategic partners of the Institute of Youth Sustainability (IYSL) and the Wu Jieh Yee Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (WUCIE), the Competition aims to promote to our HSUHK students a culture of innovation and creativity and to raise the awareness of critical social issues locally or globally.
This year, we are even more grateful to have the Office of Vice-President (Organisational Development), Campus Development and Management Office (CDMO) and Information Technology Services Centre (ITSC) as the co-organisers. With the leading theme of “Smart Campus”, the HSUHK Innovation Competition 2023 is inviting our students to improve our own campus through combining smart technologies with physical infrastructure for improved services, decision making, campus sustainability and more. The winning teams may also get a chance to receive support or budget and implement their innovative projects. In November and December, the CTL first enlightened both our students and our staff with two theme-based talks.
Talk Series #1: Tips and Tricks to Stand Your Proposal Out!
The talk series kicked off with the sharing of tips and tricks for writing eye-catching and persuasive proposals on 24 November 2012. Mr Brian Lam, our university alum, returned to his alma mater proudly as the founder of STARTIE, an online platform for finding suitable collaboration partners, first shared his entrepreneurial success, stressing the importance of having the “never give up” spirit. Brian also reminded our students to capitalise on our University’s abundant resources, ranging from our teachers’ professional guidance, different units’ supports, and our schoolmates’ partnership. What followed was Ms Yau Mei-ling, another young entrepreneur founding LAY, a social enterprise providing space with multiple stress-relieving elements. Mei-ling shed light on the significance of applying the knowledge and skills obtained from our studies and paying attention to our surroundings, looking for innovative and practical entrepreneurial ideas. The audience was also well-informed by our final speaker, Ms Tang Kit-shan, Sharon, Senior Project Officer of Innovator Farm Programme, about the systematic and effective ways to craft a pitching proposal, from scratch to its completion, to stand their ideas out and win the favour of the judges.
