HKU Faculty of Engineering and the Arts & Technology Education Centre jointly organize the Musical Instrument Design Competition
HKU Faculty of Engineering and the Arts & Technology Education Centre (ATEC) are jointly organizing the Musical Instrument Design Competition with the support of HKU Knowledge Exchange Fund. Over 300 students from primary 3 to secondary 5 have joined the competition. A number of talks and workshops related to sound, music, science and engineering were organized in November and December 2018. Students were taught to design and make a piece of work that can produce sound and be used as a musical instrument. This project aims to nurture students’ creativity and their problem solving and communication skills as well as to enhance their knowledge and appreciation of the science and mathematics of sound and music. A live performance of the participated students playing the musical instruments they designed and made will be held in May 2019.
