In collaboration with Project WeCan, 10 volunteers hosted a STEM workshop for 40 secondary students from HKTA The Yuen Yuen Institute No. 3 Secondary School.

During the workshop, volunteers motivated students to construct a paper tower and a Roman Catapult using limited building materials. The students devised their own designs without the aid of building manuals. In the second part of the workshop, they started to build a Bluetooth-controlled car and enhanced it with various accessories to improve stability and competitiveness during the Bluetooth car race. Despite their lack of prior building knowledge, students, encouraged by the volunteers, successfully built their own style of cars. This experience instilled in them a sense of potential and self-worth, highlighting the boundless opportunities available for them to pursue their passions in the future.
