Community Projects

A technology news site at the University of Hong Kong. As Chief Editor, I write and edit tech news articles of interest to fellow students and the local community. I also manage its social media accounts and a team of contributors. Recently, we have been actively organizing events to inspire and bring together people from diverse backgrounds who are passionate about technology and innovation.

TecHKU

A student-initiated program to empower youth in Myanmar with computational skills. I was one of the two volunteers for the pilot program. Devised and taught a 3-week curriculum [Scratch, web development, robotics] to 15 students of Su Educational Institute in Yangon, Myanmar. Paved way for future experiential learning projects for Computer Science students at HKU.

Co-organized one-day event for more than 120 secondary school girls to spark their interest in technology-related fields. 11% more girls said they were interested to study ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for the local public exam after participating in the event. I also liaised with Microsoft, Google, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch for post-event firm visits.
