Under epidemic of COVID-19, the general public is encountering various challenges in their life, work and study with feeling of powerlessness and stress.

The organizer is now looking for big brothers and sisters, who are enthusiastic about serving the society and with mature personalities, be the mentors.

Both mentors and mentees will learn about three different topics, including "STEM Lab x Life Education", "Digital Citizenship" and "Digital Entrepreneurship" and co-create a social innovative idea relating to ICT application in mental health. No prior knowledge of STEM nor technology is required.
