The wing design contest and “How Antarctica Affects Me” video contest asked participants to reflect on the lessons learned from the STEM curriculum and either reimagine the graphics of a saildrone wing or create a video explaining how changes in Antarctica affect the climate and ecosystem where they live.

 

Through generous support from the Li Ka Shing Foundation (LKSF), five grand prize winners will travel to Alameda, CA, to tour Saildrone HQ and other technology startups dedicated to sustainability. Chong Hiu Lam and Wong Wing Kiu are the prize winners and they were visited to the United States in this summer holiday.
