Ocean Guardians: Protecting Biodiversity through Sustainable DHA Production
Join our engaging workshop for children under 12! We will explore biodiversity and its connection to DHA extraction from fish, discover the environmental impact of conventional methods, and learn about synthetic biology's role in addressing these challenges. Through interactive games, presentations, and hands-on activities, children will understand biodiversity, embrace sustainability, and explore the potential of synthetic biology.

Jointly organised with HKUST iGEM Team 2024 – DHA Express
(Suitable for children aged below 12 and parents to participate)

Journey of Seeds
Plants employ many methods to disperse their seeds for reproduction. The seeds leave the plants and travel on a long journey to grow in distant locations. This workshop will introduce the various methods of seed dispersal, such as a free ride, temptation of food or the development of wings.

Be Close to Jellyfish
Jellyfish are very attractive, especially when observed under special lighting. Some people misunderstand that jellyfish are poisonous and are therefore scared of them. In fact, jellyfish come in diverse body forms and species and some of them are not poisonous. This workshop will introduce the features of this unique living fossil as well as the skills required to breed and raise them. Audience will also have an opportunity to get up close to some jellyfish.

Jointly organised with China Holiness Church Living Spirit College

A Glimpse of the Hong Kong Cetaceans and their Health Assessment
Have you ever heard of the two resident cetacean species in Hong Kong waters? Using digital camera and drone, our lab could identify individual dolphins and conduct visual health assessment. In case of any stranding, we would use various revolutionary techniques to "dissect" the carcass in order to reveal their biological health, life history and cause of death.

Jointly organised with Department of Infectious Diseases and Public Health, City University of Hong Kong

Responsible Whale and Dolphin Watching
A rare whale was spotted visiting Hong Kong waters! What was he doing here? In this workshop, we will demonstrate the open-mouth feeding tactic of baleen whale, introduce the whales and dolphins found in Hong Kong waters, and demonstrate how to keep a safe distance from these ocean wonders! Hong Kong is the home of whales and dolphins too, so let's live in harmony with them!

Jointly organised with Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society

The Ultimate Guide in Rainforest
Tropical rainforests seem far away from us, but in reality, they are closely related to our daily life. Resources from tropical rainforests are used as food, shelter and daily use such as coffee, palm oil, spices. The workshop will introduce the precious biological treasure of the Earth from another perspective and let you understand how the application of rainforest resources affects us and the future of tropical rainforests through quiz games.

Jointly organised with Alien United and The Society of Wilderness Sarawak

Unveil the Secret of Birds
Flight is an essential ability of most birds, assisting them in finding food and escaping from predators. Birds also have other distinctive body features that help them adapt to various environments around the world. This engaging workshop will explore the body features of birds, such as feathers and beaks, and introduce some common bird species found in Hong Kong, to unveil the secret of birds' survival strategies!

Wonders of Borneo Rainforest
The Borneo Rainforest is rich in animal and plant diversity such as orangutans, hornbills and pitcher plants, all of which have unique skills to survive in the rainforest environment. To shed light on the incredible biodiversity of Borneo's rainforest, the workshop will show how animals use camouflage and mimicry skills to hide themselves, and participants will also be able to observe pitcher plants and make a dipterocarp seed model on their own.

Jointly organised with Alien United and The Society of Wilderness Sarawak

Getting to Know the Bees and Wasps
Buzz, buzz, buzz, honeybees build hives and make honey. Although bees and wasps may look alike, they are not the same. In fact, the groups of bees and wasps are huge and they have diverse living habits. Surprisingly, the majority of these species live alone. In this workshop, we will explore fun facts about bees and wasps, and design a comfortable house for solitary bees.

Meet the Sea Turtle: A Health Check
There are 7 species of sea turtles in the world. Do you know which species is the most commonly seen in Hong Kong? Sometimes cases of stranded turtles are found in Hong Kong. What challenges do they face when living in Hong Kong waters? This workshop will introduce the species of sea turtles, their living habits, health conditions and how to protect their habitats.

Jointly organised with Department of Infectious Diseases and Public Health, City University of Hong Kong

Butterfly Watch
Butterflies are the second largest order among all insect groups. They are extremely diverse in terms of morphology and colour. What is the secret of their survival strategy? This workshop will tell you all about the senses and habits of butterflies and the common butterfly species in Hong Kong.

Flying with Black Kites
The workshop will introduce the flying secrets of birds, focusing on their body features and feather structure. The speaker will present different aspects of the black kite to show the audience the unique features of this common bird in Hong Kong.

Mysterious Finless Porpoise Search
Not as lively and charming as the Chinese white dolphins, the mysterious finless porpoises in grey have been secluding themselves in Hong Kong waters. During the day, they are elusive and more active at night. In order to conserve the threatened finless porpoises, researchers investigate their occurrence and habits in different ways. Come and join the workshop to know our neighbours at sea through precious videos and hands-on origami!

Jointly organised with Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society

Nature Palette
Colours are found everywhere in nature, from the brightest shiny colours to camouflage colours that blend in with the environment. Have you ever thought about how colours are formed in nature? This workshop will introduce two colour-producing mechanisms (pigmentary and structural colours) and show you how organisms make use of colours in their lives.

Hong Kong Harvestmen - Gotta Know Them All!
Deep in the forest, there lives a mysterious group of animals that are often seen roaming around on the ground. They look like spiders, but they have weird long legs and only two eyes! These curious residents are known as harvestmen. Unlike their cousins within the larger group of Arachnida, harvestmen are not venomous, nor do they produce silk. They can be found throughout Hong Kong forests and their presence may reveal a lot about the general health of the ecosystem. In this workshop, we will learn all about these fascinating creatures and focus on the lesser-known field of taxonomy!

Jointly organised with Lingnan University Science Unit

Our Animal Neighbours
Do you know your animal "neighbours"? How do you treat these animals when you encounter them? What kinds of challenges do these communal and wild animals face in the community every day? We should treat all creatures with respect. Through interesting quiz games, audiences will learn the importance of protecting these animal neighbours and how to co-exist with them harmoniously.
