Together with the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering (EIE), the Library co-organized the first “Inter-secondary School Virtual Reality Contest – Stories from Ancient China” between November 2018 and June 2019 to promote VR technology and STEM education in the local educational sector. A total of twelve secondary schools participated in the Contest. In the first half of 2019, teams of students, together with their teachers, attended training sessions provided by EIE. On 13 July 2019, a ceremony was held in the Library’s i-Space for the judging panel comprising staff from EIE and the Library to present certificates and award prizes to the winning teams from five secondary schools. The contest and the i-Space facilities were reported in the local magazine “e-Zone” in August 2019 (issue no. 1096, p48-50).
