What’s Happening in Hong Kong?
香港科技活動
How
much do you know about science
activities happening around you? There are many
opportunities around you. Every year, there are two
exhibitions targeted at secondary school students,
both of which are free to join.
Joint School Science Exhibition
The JSSE is organized by secondar y school
students once a year, reaching its 47th year in
2014. Apart from exhibitions, there are also projects
from overseas. Each year, the theme is different
and the topic of 2013 was "Nature Inspiration,
Science Exploration". Various inventions made by
students were reported by local newspapers. The
organization also holds other activities, such as
workshops and walkathons. The exhibitions are
usually held at the end of August in the Hong Kong
Central Library, Exhibition Gallery. Check out their

不知道各位中學生對自己身邊發生和科學有關的活動知
道多少？其實參與各大小展覽的機會就在大家的身邊。每年香
港都有兩個和中學生有關的科學展覽，供大家自由參與。
聯校科學展覽
其一想必大家也有所耳聞，乃為每年一度，由中學生自
行組成內閣籌備的聯校科學展覽 (Joint School Science
Exhibition, JSSE)。至二零一四年已舉行至第四十七屆。參展
單位除了本地中學生之外，還有從外國而來的參展單位。為香
港中學生提供了極其寶貴，與外國參展單位交流的機會。每年
的展覽均有不同主題。以一三年為例，有份參展的同學圍繞著
主題︰「靈感始於自然 創意科學無邊」挖空心思，發明了不
同的科技產品，各報章亦曾有所報導。除了展覽外，主辦內閣
亦有小學生工作坊、步行籌款之類的活動，盡力把科學推廣
到每一個角落。其內閣通常於每年八月下旬假香港中央圖書
館地下展覽廳舉行有關展覽。想知道多一些? 可以查看以下網

香港學生科學比賽
其二則為由香港青年協會、教育局及香港科學館合辦的
香港學生科學比賽。與上述展覽不同，此比賽除了中學生參與
外亦設有公開組。其評選準則十分詳細並包括多個範疇，從創
意到設計、表達，甚至隊伍合作性均會被列入總分，極具挑戰
性。各組別的優勝隊伍將會獲得書劵，冠軍更可獲資助參加海
外交流活動、參與海外比賽等，實為非常難得的機會。各歷屆
得獎作品中更可看到，即便是初中組的參賽隊伍也可以做出十
分出色的報告以及發明，有能力又有興趣的各同學為什麼不
參加比賽一試身手呢？http://hksspc.hkfyg.org.hk/
科學館
太空館巨型天幕放映的電影，一直都吸引不少公眾人士慕
名前往。由即日起至二月二十八日，太空館將會放映《冰河巨
獸》，將二萬年前的冰河時期帶到大家眼前，讓大家有機會一
窺當時野外的情況。有興趣的同學萬勿錯過！
