To spark students’ and public interest in STEAM (A for Arts) and to strengthen participants’ abilities to integrate and apply knowledge and skills in engineering, the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the Arts & Technology Education Centre (ATEC) of the Education Bureau jointly organised a Musical Instrument Design Competition, which attracted over 400 participants from Primary 2 to Secondary 6 . The competition required students to design and implement a device that is capable of producing sound, and can be used as a musical instrument.

music concert, exhibition, judging and award presentation for the Competition will be held this Saturday, where participants will use their designed musical instrument to perform, followed by an exhibition and judging session. Members of the public are welcome to join the event free of charge and can cast their votes onsite for the “My Favourite Musical Instrument ward”.
