Wonders of Snails
Who loves rainy days and enjoys slow living? Snails display unique body structures and living habits, along with many relatives that you might not expect! Join our workshop to observe live snails, discover the secrets of these soft-bodied creatures, and explore their vital role in the ecosystem. You can also create your own snail craft and gain a newfound appreciation for them!

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.

Underwater Detectives: Scouting for Stream Insects
Do you know which group of animals holds the record for the highest biodiversity in freshwater habitats? They are aquatic macroinvertebrates, specifically insects. From their mysterious underwater childhoods to their stunning metamorphosis into flying adults, these tiny creatures perform vital roles in maintaining the health of our ecosystems. Join our workshop to explore the diversity of Hong Kong's stream insects and learn to appreciate these small but essential residents of our local waters!

Jointly organised with Division of Science, Lingnan University

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.

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

Underwater Detectives: Hunting for Freshwater Fish and Amphibians
Have you ever wondered who lives beneath the babbling waters of Hong Kong's mountain streams? Beyond our 'concrete jungle' exists a hidden 'underwater metropolis' teeming with life. In addition to a variety of fish, these waters are home to unique amphibians with fascinating survival stories. Join our workshop to meet our underwater neighbours and discover their vital role in maintaining the balance of nature.

Jointly organised with Division of Science, Lingnan University

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.

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!

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

Beyond the Naked Eye: Microorganisms
From puddles to the depths of the vast ocean, microorganisms are everywhere. Their family is enormous, with a wide variety of species, exhibiting diverse forms and survival strategies. In this workshop, we will introduce the classification of microorganisms and explore their importance in maintaining our ecosystems. You will also have the chance to create a personalised microorganism drawing, capturing the wonders of these tiny life forms!

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.
