To engage the public with various technologies, a Maker Faire was held on the weekend of 7-8 July 2018 on the PolyU campus. Prof. You-Lin Xu, Dean of the Faculty of Construction and Environment (FCE), was one of the officiating guests at the opening ceremony. Hosted by the School of Design together with the joint support of the Faculty of Applied Science and Textiles, FCE, the Faculty of Engineering, and the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, the Maker Faire featured a diverse range of activities, including 4 exhibits and a workshop from FCE.
On behalf of the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI), Dr Matthew Pang talked about developing Hong Kong as a world-leading smart city with VR demo and Ir Dr Wallace Lai’s team demonstrated the technologies “Robotic Imaging the Mysterious Underground”. It has been a great opportunity to educate the general public for the maker culture in different fields. Like what Wallace says, ‘We learn, so we are willing to contribute to the learning of young learners’.
