As a provider of undergraduate education in Science, HKUST’s School of Science (SSCI) is also a passionate driver of science education among youngsters.

SSCI founded more than a decade ago the Education Development Program Unit (EDP), a not-for-profit arm of the School specializing in promoting science and mathematics among local youngsters. Designed and taught by SSCI’s faculty and students, these EDP programs, including Science camps, Kids@UST and Just Science, etc., have attracted more than a thousand participants from all over the territory since their inception.

SSCI is also an avid advocate of gifted education. Since 2001, the School has been collaborating with the "Support Measures for the Exceptionally Gifted Students Scheme" of the Education Bureau and offers a full array of enhancement programs, including Basic Mathematics Enrichment Course, Pre-Olympiad Workshop and Enhancement Program for the Hong Kong Physics Olympiad. To support students participating in Physics Olympiads, some of our faculty members have even been giving them free coaching, helping them to perform in the competition. EDP is also running general education seminars, which have drawn more than 7,000 secondary school participants since its launch.
