Our Center Director Prof. Hon-Ming Lam, in collaboration with the Big Education Platform, initiated an innovative STEAM Education Project – STEAM@Soybean for Hong Kong secondary school students. The comprehensive project incorporates all-rounded learning activities for students to experience, observe, record, analyze, and create, with soybean as the focused research plant.
After the training workshop for preparation of project launch, an enrichment workshop was held on 9 April, 2018. Prof. Lam gave a mini lecture to near 100 students from 13 participating schools on the theme “Agriculture and Food Security”. The interactive workshop has deepened the students’ understandings on the relationship between poverty, agriculture and food security, while at the same time provided them new perspectives on how STEAM elements play their roles in face of the challenge.
