******************************************************************************************
The following is issued on behalf of the Legislative Council Secretariat:
 
     The Legislative Council Subcommittee on Matters Relating to the Development of Smart City visited the HKSKH Bishop Hall Secondary School today (February 24) to learn about the role of STEAM education (i.e. science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) in building a knowledge-based society and developing Hong Kong into a smart city.
 
     Members first received a briefing by representatives of the school on the overview of its STEAM education, including the curriculum, teacher training, learning and teaching as well as student activities.
 
     Members then toured the campus's facilities for STEAM learning and teaching, such as the Artificial Intelligence Innovation Lab, the Coding Lab and the 5G smart hydroponic farming site, to gain a better understanding of the students' learning experience, as well as the initiatives in nurturing an innovation and entrepreneurial culture among the younger generation.
 
     Promoting STEAM education in schools is one of the Government's "smart people" initiatives. Members also took the opportunity to exchange views with representatives of the school on how the Government can better support schools to implement more STEAM-related classes and activities, with a view to providing a local supply of technology professionals and practitioners to support the development of innovation and technology in Hong Kong.
 
     Members who attended the visit were the Subcommittee Chairman, Ms Elizabeth Quat, Subcommittee member Mr Lam San-keung, and non-Subcommittee member Dr Ngan Man-yu.
