Hong Kong Budding Scientists Award

Introduction

The Hong Kong Budding Scientists Award (HKBSA) aims at nurturing the talents of scientifically gifted/ more able students at upper primary (P.4-6) and secondary (S.1-4) levels, and providing them with training in scientific problem solving skills as well as collaboration, creativity, communication and critical thinking skills. This competition includes the Heat and Final cum Prize Presentation Ceremony. Student contestants are required to submit (i) a proposal to a future world problem / an authentic problem and (ii) a report on an interview with a local scientist (note: the focus of the report is on his/her vigor, perseverance and how he/she strives for success). It is hoped that students’ higher-order thinking skills, creativity and social and personal competency could be enhanced through the learning experience provided by the event. Students with outstanding performance in the competition may be recommended to The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education for consideration as its members.
