2019 HKUST Science Summer Camp
Camp Description
We are inviting S4 and S5 secondary school students with great enthusiasm in science to join us to experience an exciting voyage of discovery and a vibrant campus life at HKUST.
Students in the Science Summer Camp are engaged in a wide range of inspiring and interesting activities, including hands-on workshops and experiments, mini-lectures, social gatherings and out-of-classroom activities, so as to feel what university life is all about. The Camp serves as a unique platform for secondary school students to meet and exchange with young scholars at HKUST.
If you are eager to know more about the world of Science, this Camp is for you! Come and join us to get an idea of what you would like to do, to create, or to improve, before you step foot in the University.
You will stay in one of the furnished student halls located at the seafront of HKUST campus and then experience a vivid campus living by exploring the campus and acquainting with our current students, who share the same passion as you in various disciplines in science.
