Hong Kong Science Fair Opens Free to Public This June
Nearly 9,000 young innovators have participated in Hong Kong's Science Fair over five years, and now the public can join for free. This year's event features AI-powered inventions from 120 student teams and a special aerospace engineering section inspired by Hong Kong's first astronaut.
The Fifth Hong Kong Science Fair is throwing open its doors to everyone for free on June 27-28, celebrating five years of turning curious students into confident inventors.
Since launching in 2021, the fair has welcomed nearly 9,000 students and teachers from over 400 schools across Hong Kong. More than 2,200 creative inventions have been submitted by young minds from Primary 4 through Secondary 6, making it one of the city's biggest platforms for youth science and technology exchange.
This year's event at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will showcase 120 shortlisted teams presenting inventions that blend artificial intelligence with real-world applications. The projects represent months of work turning classroom learning into tangible solutions.
A new aerospace engineering section pays tribute to Dr Lai Ka-ying, Hong Kong's first astronaut, who launched aboard the Shenzhou-23 spacecraft and is currently conducting experiments in space. Visitors can learn about the daily life and challenges of payload specialists, explore what space research really involves, and even create message cards for Dr Lai to show their support.
The fair is also bringing the future a little closer with UBTECH Robotics showcasing humanoid robots. Attendees can interact with these embodied AI machines and see cutting-edge robotics technology up close.
The Ripple Effect
The Science Fair's growth reflects Hong Kong's broader push to become an international innovation and technology center. Professor Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, emphasizes that talent drives this transformation, and the fair helps spark that interest early.
By bringing innovation out of labs and into schools and communities, the event creates an atmosphere where science feels accessible and exciting. Students gain confidence seeing their ideas come to life, while the public discovers what the next generation is building.
With support from the Hong Kong government, industry partners, universities, and for the first time, the Foundation for the Development of Science and Technology in China, the fair connects young inventors with the resources and recognition they need to keep creating.
Free online registration is now open for anyone wanting to witness Hong Kong's youngest innovators in action.
