VTC STEM Challenge Cup
Three S3 students won the First Runner-up in the VTC STEM Challenge Cup. The theme of the competition is “Smart Campus”. Students had to propose and design an “E-steps” path at the school entrance to convert the kinetic energy from footsteps to electrical energy. The electrical energy collected would be used to power up the lights and fans at the school entrance. Not only does the design allow students to apply STEM knowledge, but it also helps students understand the importance of sustainability.
Awardees:
Au Yui Ching (3A), Chu Gratia (3B), Chan Kei Ching Lavon (3E)

Mr Vivek A. Mahbubani, a bilingual stand-up comedian performing both in Cantonese and English, shared with us how to find the funnier side of life during the morning assembly. While observing others’ seemingly trivial acts, he inspired us to turn those ordinary or upsetting things into a fun part of life. He further encouraged us to record those small acts on a regular basis so as to keep our curiosity in life, making us more willing to embrace the unknown and make connections with others.
