In order to increase local primary and secondary school\nstudents\u2019 interest in science, the University of Macau (UM) in June and July\nthis year will hold a series of summer camp in various fields. It helps to\ndeepen and extend students\u2019 understanding of science and engineering knowledge\nwith hands-on experience and vivid on-site practical demonstration.<\/p>
In particular, the newly organized primary school summer\ncamp\u2013Primary Students STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and\nMathematics) Summer Camp. This camp is attempted for fifth- and sixth-grade\nstudents. It is the first kind of camp in Macao that combines STEM education\nwith interactive learning activities and arts based on Macao\u2019s Basic Academic\nAttainment. The camp aims to nurture students\u2019 curiosity, creativity and\ncapability about STEM-related topics. It is jointly organised by the Faculty of\nEducation (FED) and Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), and the\ncoordinators are Dr Oon Pey Tee, Dr Mak Chi Kuan and Dr Lei Si Man from the FED\n, and Prof Tam Kam Weng and Senior Instructor Miguel Costa from the FST that\ncoordinate for science and engineering topics.<\/p>
In addition, the summer camps for secondary students are\nClimate Change and Civil Engineering Summer Camp, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence\nSummer Camp, 3D Reconstruction with Quadcopters Summer Camp, Deep Learning and\nComputer Vision (DeepVision) Summer Camp, Wireless Technology Study Summer Camp\nand Smart Transportation Summer Camp from FST. The Development of a Sustainable\nCyanobacteria System for Endocrine Disrupting Compounds Degradation from Faculty\nof Health Sciences (FHS); Sustainable Energy Storage Systems Summer Camp from\nFST\/Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering (IAPME) and Plan of\nPotential Development – Biotechnology from Institute of Chinese Medical\nSciences (ICMS) and University of Macau State Key Lab of Microelectronic IC\ndesign experience Summer Camp from Institute of Microelectronics (IME).<\/p>
Established in June 2018, the Macao Base for Primary\n& Secondary STEM Education aims to promote science popularisation and STEM\neducation in collaboration with the Science and Technology Development Fund,\nthe Education and Youth Affairs Bureau, the Chinese Educators’ Association of\nMacau, Macau Catholic Schools Association, Macao Science Center, and Macao Post\nand Telecommunications Bureau. With UM’s Centre for Science and Engineering\nPromotion of FST as the core component, the base launches STEM programmes to\nsupport science popularisation in Macao and to provide continuous training for\nteachers and students from local primary and secondary schools. The base\u2019s\nsupporting units are FST, FHS, FED, IAPME and ICMS. <\/p>
