Since the launch of the WeCan x HKUST STEAM Project in November 2017, the 17 teams have been working with their HKUST mentors on identifying social issues and preparing for a proposal.  On 17 March 2018, a proposal consultation session was held for the teams to present their ideas to a panel of HKUST Engineering professors and corporate representatives.  Mr Stephen Ng, Chairman of Project WeCan Committee, Dr Roy Chung, Founder and Chairman of Bright Future Charitable Foundation and Project WeCan Committee member also joined the panels to give their advice on the feasibility of the proposals.

After the proposal consultation session, Mr Rex Lo, Director of isBIM Limited was invited to share the latest Building Information Modelling technology and usage to inspire students’ creativity.  Technical skills training workshops were also arranged in the afternoon to equip students with the necessary skills required for developing their prototypes, which would be showcased in early July 2018 at Plaza Hollywood.
