\u201cIn recent years, AI (Artificial Intelligence) has become a hot topic that everyone is exploring. We also noticed that approximately 15% of the participating entries incorporated various AI technologies.” said Yiyin Zhao, Managing Director at Samsung Electronics Hong Kong.<\/i><\/p>\n
She continued, “Solve for Tomorrow is not just a technology competition for students; it is a platform that allows the younger generation to showcase their skills and apply their knowledge across the STREAM fields, including Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. It combines problem-solving abilities with creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills, known as the ‘4Cs.’ Through this platform, students contribute ideas and solutions to various social issues, driving sustainable development and becoming the future leaders of Hong Kong.”<\/p>\n
Samsung “Tomorrow’s Lifestyle Showcase” presents students’ as<\/b>pi<\/b>rations for a sust<\/b>ainab<\/b>le future<\/b><\/p>\n
In keeping with traditions, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2023 introduced several new elements this year. In additional to the STREAM workshop series which encompassed Design Thinking, modular robotics design, coding, collaboration and presentation skills, and video productions, advanced workshops on robotics and programming were also added, providing students who wanted to delve into advanced technology with the opportunity to learn through hands-on experiences guided by the instructor.<\/p>\n
After the preliminary judging process, eight teams from the primary and secondary school categories were selected from hundreds of creative entries to advance to the final stage of the competition. These teams collaborated with mentors, consisting of renowned Hong Kong entrepreneurs and Samsung employees, to further refine their projects. Additionally, Samsung set up the “Tomorrow’s Lifestyle Showcase” to present the creative works of the eight shortlisted teams in three areas: “Tomorrow’s Home,” “Tomorrow’s Shop,” and “Tomorrow’s City.” The exhibition portrayed their visions for a sustainable future.<\/p>\n
Ying Wa Primary School and Ho Yu College and Primary School (Sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen) emerge winners<\/b><\/p>\n
After the keen competition at the Grand Pitch, the judging panel selected Ho Yu College and Primary School (Sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen) and Ying Wah Primary School as the champions.<\/p>\n
Ho Yu College and Primary School (Sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen) presented their thoughtfully crafted project, “E-Receipt App”, an electronic receipt system for daily transactions that integrates paper receipts and point-of-sale systems to reduce the production and disposal of physical paper receipts. Users can instantly receive E-receipts on their mobile app after making a purchase, eliminating the need to wait for printed receipts. Merchants adopting the “E-Receipt App” platform can save on printing costs, while the platform facilitates unified sales calculations and boosts sales.<\/p>\n
Ying Wah Primary School secured the primary school champion title once again with their intelligent channel device, “AI AQUA DEFENDER.” This device addresses waterlogging issues caused by channel blockages. When the AI camera detects obstacles on the channel cover, the built-in air pump blows away leaves using high-pressure air. The device also incorporates sensors to measure garbage levels, oil, and a spiral disperser to ensure unobstructed flow in the channel. A real-time monitoring application connects all the channel devices and provides information to channel maintenance personnel for efficient cleaning and upkeep of the channels.<\/p>\n
