“Beyond Your Campus” Competition 2021-2022 Workshops
Seven workshops were successfully held from March to May to deliver basic surveying knowledge to 163 F4-F5 student contestants from 45 teams. The workshops communicated this information in a more interactive and interesting way through knowledge-sharing talks and guided tours of selected venues.
To allow students to appreciate the importance of Hong Kong’s transport infrastructure and the roles quantity surveyors play in urban development, the QSD organised an online workshop on the Trunk Road T2 and Cha Kwo Ling Tunnel project on 26 March.
To stimulate creativity and enhance young people’s understanding of surveyors’ scopes of work, YSG’s young surveyors conducted a workshop on land use planning on 23 April. Thirty students joined the workshop and were divided into five teams. Each team was allocated a plain zone within Kai Tak District in an online collaborative platform, which allowed team members to work together to colour different areas and plan various development uses for it.
With an evergrowing number of applications, GIS has become an integral part of a surveyor’s life. To explain how important and useful it can be to use spatial data for various spatial analyses, the LSD conducted an online workshop for a group of secondary school students on 30 April. Through their participation in this fruitful workshop, the students developed not only GIS skills and tools, but also learned how to tackle a problem in a deeper and more holistic way using GIS technologies that could benefit them in the future.
An air conditioner DIY workshop and sharing session were held on 30 April. Twenty participants from 11 teams worked in groups to build their own air conditioners, which allowed them to understand the principle of cooling coils in an air conditioning system. Throughout the sharing session, participants gained a better understanding of the PFMD’s scope of work (e.g. maintenance of building services, related statutory requirements, etc).
Twenty-two participants from 12 teams conducted a site visit to Yue Man Square on 21 May. They were led by general practice surveyors, who introduced their work on large property development projects and the benefits and changes that urban renewal brings to local communities.
A site visit to a green school, United Christian College (Kowloon East), occurred on 28 May. Building surveyors guided 28 participants from 15 teams on a tour of the campus; introduced the elements of a green building; and explained the preparation of feasibility studies, client briefings, master programmes, and budgets.
On 28 May, the PDD hosted a half-day event in Central for 20 secondary school students who joined the Beyond Your Campus Competition. The event consisted of guided visits to City Gallery, an interactive exhibit that showcases Hong Kong’s urban planning efforts, and Central Market, a revitalised historical building that epitomises how developments have transformed along with social changes. Everyone engaged in fruitful exchanges over the competition. Most of all, the students gained insights into the planning and development profession and Hong Kong’s future development.
