Design for Sustainable Future Workshop

Four students participated in a two-day (Aug 8-9) workshop on sustainability and design thinking.  Organized by the Hong Kong Macau International Exchange Foundation and MIT Hong Kong Innovation Node, the workshop gathered experts and students to explore innovative solutions for environmental challenges.

The workshop featured informative sessions led by industry experts, fostering an understanding of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and their roles in creating a sustainable future.  Design thinking strategies and digital prototyping tools were emphasized, enabling students to tackle environmental issues effectively.

On the second day, utilizing their newfound knowledge and skills, the students collaborated to design a zero-carbon school.  They presented their prototype to a panel of experts, received feedback, and refined their ideas.

The workshop empowered the students to think critically, creatively, and sustainably, equipping them with valuable skills to address environmental challenges and shape a more sustainable future.
