LSGI STEAM Talks for Secondary School 2024 – Lee Kau Yan Memorial School (January 23)

On 23 January 2024, a group of 8 students and teacher from Lee Kau Yan Memorial School visited the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). We were delighted to have Dr. Sissi Chen, Lecturer of LSGI, deliver a talk for the secondary school students with the topic "Problem Solving by Digital Maps and Geographic Information System (GIS)".

In the workshop, participants were able to understand what spatial data is and learn how to access, evaluate, and integrate the data into Geographic Information System (GIS) software for mapping, analysis, and decision-making. Additionally, some of the cutting-edge surveying equipment, such as total stations and laser scanners, were introduced to the students.

The school teacher and students found the visit to be fruitful and interesting, and they were glad to know more about the admission information for our programme - BSc (Hons) Scheme in Spatial Data Science and Smart Cities. This workshop was packed with an engaging talk, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences. We are pleased that the students and teacher enjoyed the visit and found the workshop to be fruitful and beneficial.
