AI Summer Course for High School Students
A group of 30 high school students from 15 local secondary schools had a great time at our Department by joining the 2-week AI Summer Course in August 2018. After the eight intensive workshops, participating students are expected to serve as ambassadors to help deliver AI workshops and promote AI/ ICT education at their home schools. In just 2-week time, many of them found that they are more interested in learning AI, love to learn more about AI in the future, and will try to apply what they have learned. We do hope that they will carry on their passion on AI, grow strong and flourish in the related field one day.

CityU EE International Summer Camp Farewell and Closing Ceremony
Having travelled hundred or even thousand miles from home to arrive in Hong Kong, 60 overseas students spent 5 weeks on CityU campus to mingle with CityU EE undergraduates and some local senior secondary school students. Not only did they feel the vibrancy of this international metropolis, but also they built and programed their remote controlled airships. The hardest thing was the moment to say goodbye at the farewell and closing ceremony on 8 August 2018.
