Students from the Hong Kong Teachers’ Association Lee Heng Kwei Secondary School have developed a project called *”Accompany You to a Joyful Life”*, which provides physical and mental health support for the elderly through an adorable AI companion panda named “Lok Lok” and two interactive motion-sensing games.

“Lok Lok” uses the body of a robotic dog combined with a cute panda design. It can walk and respond to certain voice commands, offering companionship to the elderly. The two interactive games each have unique features. One game involves voice control to guide an in-game panda over obstacles, while the other allows the elderly to control the physical panda “Lok Lok” to eat apples and gold ingots within the game. Through these motion-sensing games, the elderly can engage in light physical activity and promote mental well-being in a fun and interactive way.

The MaD team collaborates with HKTA Lee Heng Kwei Secondary School in Tai Po to introduce “Community Changemakers” in STEM classes. Noticing that the students are often buried in their studies with little community interaction, the team invites artists Angel and Fato to help plan the curriculum, starting with warm-up exercises featuring elements of artful thinking. The students venture into the Tai Po Market and the surrounding areas, engaging with the community through their sense of hearing and smell, and documenting various shapes and patterns they observe around them.

MP Weekly Report

The LHK STEM Innovation team has been invited to be interviewed by RTHK, introducing our STEM Project ‘Allow Green To Shine’.

“Allow Green To Shine” is a green energy initiative. LHK students hope to drive the existing advertising system on Kwong Fuk Road with green energy, incorporating interactive and artificial intelligence elements to optimize the advertising system for old buildings, benefiting economically, sustainably, and in conservation education. The students have installed a lightweight photovoltaic solar power system on the rooftop of the building, which can track sunlight to maximize the efficiency of solar power generation. Additionally, they have integrated a louvre design into traditional signs, allowing each sign to have the capability to generate electricity. Since the advertising system operates on an LED system, it is energy-saving and can display advertising effects as a whole during festivals, greatly enhancing the variation of advertising signs, the possibility of interaction with the audience, and the convenience of performances.
