The Government announced today that an aerospace science education activity will soon be held, allowing students to watch live demonstrations of science experiments conducted in space.
Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government, the Macao SAR Government, and the China Manned Space Agency, the “Tiangong Class” activity includes an expert lecture, an in-orbit demonstration and a student question-and-answer session.
The Shenzhou-23 crew will conduct a science experiment demonstration for participating Hong Kong and Macau students at the Tiangong Space Station, engaging in a rare space-to-Earth dialogue.
The Education Bureau will arrange for primary and secondary school teachers and students to watch the live broadcast on campus on the day of the event.
The Hong Kong SAR Government noted the continuous success of China’s manned space programme. As a national-level space laboratory, the Chinese Space Station serves as a vital platform for conducting space science research while providing valuable educational resources for young people to explore cutting-edge technologies and study science.
It highlighted that the “Tiangong Class” Hong Kong and Macao Designated Session connects Earth and space to help youth in both cities gain a deeper understanding of the country’s space achievements.
The Macao SAR Government’s Education & Youth Development Bureau will organise a delegation of teachers and students to join the event in Hong Kong.
By jointly participating in this national-level science popularisation and patriotic education activity, students from both cities will deepen their connection with the nation’s scientific and technological development, ignite their passion for science, and cultivate a sense of patriotism.
On the day of the event, a live stream of the “Tiangong Class” will be available on the Information Services Department’s website, the news.gov.hk Facebook page, as well as the “A Shared Cosmic Vision for National Rejuvenation” thematic website.
In addition, Radio Television Hong Kong and other local television stations will broadcast the event live, allowing the public to witness this historic moment.
