香港青年協會創意教育組首創「世界青年科學及科技碗2020」(Global Youth Science and Technology Bowl, GYSTB 2020),鼓勵學生運用科學知識,以創新方法解決社會問題。總決賽於8月1日網上舉行,92支海外與本地中學生隊伍展示科學和科技推動社會創新的點子,其中7隊香港代表出戰總決賽並勇奪兩項榮譽大獎,成績驕人。
來自香港協恩中學的隊伍以作品「Study On The Anti-reflux Ability Of Chinese Yam Using Novel Gastro-oesophageal Model」脫穎而出成爲生物及化學組別的金獎,隊伍設計出嶄新的實驗方法,利用胃部模型模擬胃酸倒流情況,研究淮山能否取代現時藥物,紓緩胃酸倒流徵狀。而物理及工程組別的金獎則是由來自愛爾蘭的Ruth Madden以作品「The Microplastic Filter – A Small Solution to a Global Problem」奪得,隊伍以家用洗衣機產生的污水為研究對象,設計出次世代的微塑膠過濾裝置,立志改善全球污水問題。 [比賽結果詳見附錄]
是次比賽吸引超過22個國家及地區共122支中學生隊伍報名參加,當中約七成隊伍更曾於各地區或國際科學比賽中獲獎。比賽以社會創新為主題,鼓勵學生就物理、工程、生物及化學範疇進行深入研究,或設計創意和實用兼備的發明品以解決社會問題。各隊伍須向由學術界和業界組成的專業評審小組,匯報其研究項目或科學發明品,整個過程團隊需充分發揮其科學知識,同時考驗默契與演講技巧。
香港青年協會督導主任(創新及創意)李建樂先生表示,網上學習和交流成為全球教育新常態,今年推出新猷「世界青年科學及科技碗」,讓世界各地的學生透過互聯網展示創新意念和和研究成果。他感謝所有老師的協助,讓不同的科學文化滙聚一起,亦證明疫情無阻學生的熱情,更是一個善用科技解決問題的實證。他寄望學生享受是次比賽過程,並從中學習創新解難、抗逆應變、溝通協作等未來技能。
「世界青年科學及科技碗2020」(Global Youth Science and Technology Bowl, GYSTB 2020) 由香港青年協會創意教育組創辦,創新科技署為支持機構。比賽旨在為學生提供一個國際舞台,向大眾展示科學研究或發明品,並從中獲得互相交流的珍貴機會,提高青少年對科學與科技的興趣,啓發他們的科技潛能,以創新思維協力解決社會問題。
