Since 2009, the MobileLab has the mission to promote biotechnology education which has been widely embraced by society. We nurture this vision by delivering a door to door top-tier biotechnology education to primary and secondary schools as well as the public. By taking our scientists and laboratory equipment to their doorstep, the students can have hands-on exploration of the beauty of biotechnology at their ease.
自二零零九年起,流動實驗室便以普及生物科技教育為己任,深受社會歡迎。為實現願景,我們致力令中小學生及公眾能夠面對面接觸頂級生物科技教育。在我們的科學團隊和實驗儀器幫助下,學生可以親自動手,輕鬆探索生物科技之美。
The MobileLab has completed over 400 teaching days, welcoming over 50,000 participants onboard, and visited over 110 schools and organizations throughout these years. There are repeated request of the MobileLab visits from different schools and organization because of the fun and excitement of scientific discovery for participants on board, especially for those who have never done an experiment or been to a science museum or used research equipment.
成立以來,流動實驗室已經完成超過四百個教學日,在車上接待超過五萬人次,並且到訪超過一百一十間學校與機構。車上為參與者提供豐富多彩的科學探索活動,對於從未做過實驗、到訪科學館或使用實驗儀器的人尤其有吸引力,不同學校與機構更會因此多次邀請流動實驗室到訪。
Recently, there is a great interesting and development in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in Hong Kong. Our government has provided a lot of funding support for primary and secondary schools to upgrade their equipment, while also giving them the opportunity to join different STEM-related activities.
近年來,香港教育界尤其注重STEM(科學、技術、工程與數學)領域的發展。政府已為中小學提供大量資助,以升級校內儀器,同時亦提供大量參加STEM相關活動的機會。
The MobileLab has many STEM-related programs. “Science@your school”, for example, is a short introduction on the theory and hands-on practical work. Our activities nurture the students’ scientific understanding and laboratory skills, and also engage them with the novel technology in lively and interesting experiments. We offer to all students from Primary Three to Secondary Six Hands-on experience with student-centred approach can give them the opportunity to integrate and apply their knowledge and skills in everyday life.
流動實驗室上就有許多STEM相關活動。以「趣『至』科學」為例,活動包括簡短的理論知識介紹與親身實驗操作。既能培育學生對科學的認知與相關實驗技能,又能通過生動有趣的實驗,令他們接觸到最尖端的科技。我們提供小三至中六學生不同程度的生物科技課程,以學生為本,難得的親身體驗,亦能幫助他們在日常生活中應用相關的知識與技能。
The MobileLab have marked a difference in the lives of students, teachers, parents and educators. We envision a future of the engagement of students, teachers and general public in biotechnology and bring this to every part of our community.
流動實驗室的影響深入學生、教師、家長與教育工作者等各個群體。我們展望在未來,學生、教師與公眾能夠積極參與生物科技活動,並將相關知識帶到社區每個角落。
