Inspire and Support Future Scientists and Innovators
How do we get young minds to think about real-world challenges and then encourage them to pioneer practical solutions that will not only shape their future, but transform their present?
By providing them with opportunities to learn, experiment and have fun! Jointly organised by the Federation, The Education Bureau and The Hong Kong Science Museum, and supported by The Innovation and Technology Commission, The Hong Kong Young Academy of Sciences, Hong Kong Design Institute and IVE (Lee Wai Lee), The Hong Kong Student Science Project Competition has been a popular and well supported programme that fosters young people’s interest in science and technology, nurtures their creativity and innovative mindset and inspires their intellectual growth and career paths.
The theme of this year’s Competition is, “Inspiration from Living ‧ Innovation from Science” with a focus on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The participants will be able to take part in a series of science and innovation-related training workshops and seminars covering various aspects, including research techniques, literature reviews, data analysis, design thinking and more.
Winning teams of the Junior and Senior Divisions might even have the opportunity to be sponsored to participate in overseas Science and Technology Exchange Programmes, which just furthers their horizons and fosters their global vision.
Show your support to these outstanding young visionaries by exploring the finalists’ work this Summer, as you join us in celebrating the triumphs of our future scientists and innovators.

HKFYG Survey on "Online Image and Emotional Health"
Key findings
● 66.8% of the respondents wished to portray a positive image on their personal social media accounts
● Respondents expressed that they would modify their statements (58.1%) and photos (55.1%) before uploading content
● 55.9% of the respondents were unwilling to express negative emotions on social media, indicating that they would manage their online content to create their desired online image and have concerns about expressing negative emotions online
Major recommendations
● Young people should understand that their online image is only a part of who they are. They should enhance self-awareness, appreciate their personal strengths, and accept their imperfections to build a positive self-image
● Express emotions in a timely manner if young people feel depressed, anxious, or experience insomnia due to concerns about their online image
● Choose trusted individuals or counselors to confide in, as it can help alleviate emotional stress and manage mental health more effectively
Research period January 2024
Respondents 1,651 Hong Kong young people aged 12-24
