"Connecting Children with Nature" Program

"Connecting Children with Nature" is a program aiming to support local innovative green technology and educate children about renewable energy and a sustainable environment. In this program, we sponsored further development and application of the Direct Thermal Charging Cell ("DTCC"), newly invented by Dr. Shien-Ping Feng and his research team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Hong Kong. In addition, we invited some primary students to participate in the "Animal Circuit Drawing Workshop" to learn about how waste heat can turn into usable electricity and provide them the opportunity to experience a biodiversity environment in a novel and interesting way. We hope it can inspire children to learn about the importance of environmental protection.
