ANSWER KEY:
Students for Science (SFS) was founded on the dream of providing free and fun science education to all students across Hong Kong We specialise in working with the refugee community and we are currently partnering with the NGOs of Branches of Hope Refugee Union, RUN HK and Christian Action Centre SFS began by organising a refugee science summer camp in the summer of 2021 which saw over 70 participating refugee students During our summer camp, students learnt simple scientific principles such as gravity, pressure, and chemical reactions through conducting simple experiments and culminated in each student designing and launching a model rocket. Seeing our success in the summer camp, at the start of the 2021-2022 school year, we began holding 4 in-person lessons per week with different refugee organisations and teaching an in school CCA to raise money for refugee groups To date, we have raised over 9,000 HKD from the CCA to fund refugee organisations with more science equipment for kids When the fifth wave of COVID-19 hit Hong Kong, as schools and refugee centres shut down all in-person service lessons came to a halt Still determined to help refugee students find their passion for science in the depths of social isolation we began designing science kits science experiments packaged in a box that can be used by refugee students at home to further their interest in science To date SFS has delivered over 280 science kits to refugee families across Hong Kong
Arnold was a student who felt that the science kits really helped him develop his passion for biology In a whatsapp message from Arnold’s parents they expressed that Arnold was mind blown when he saw for himself from our science kits that seeds in darker environments germinated faster than seeds in the light
As we start the 2022-2023 school year, the scientists at SFS are more determined than ever to continue to provide free and fun science education to our local community!
