Two winners of the Hang Lung Mathematics Awards (HLMA), Dr. Kero Lau (2004 Bronze Award winner) and Ms. Ewina Pun (2012 Bronze Award winner), recently met with more than 100 secondary students from 50-plus schools in an online sharing session. The two promising young scientists shared their own experiences and thoughts about pursuing careers in science and research in a highly informative session where Professor Shing Yu Leung, Associate Dean of Science at HKUST, served as moderator.
Are memes a helpful way to learn?
Recalling their time in secondary school, both speakers had a keen interest in mathematics, which led them to the world of scientific research. Mathematics is a language used daily in research. Research requires perseverance. Although difficulties in research and calculations may be encountered, they pointed out that students should not be afraid of making mistakes. These experiences may lead to the discovery of something new.
They also encouraged students to exchange ideas with their friends when solving problems. Doing research requires a lot of teamwork, strong communication skills, and cooperative spirit. That’s something you don’t learn by taking exams. Being able to work collaboratively and apply knowledge skilfully to real-life situations requires many soft skills that are not tested in exams.
The biennial HLMA provides opportunities for secondary school students to hone their research skills in this discipline and compete for HK$1 million in prizes.
Students debate whether smaller class sizes are always better
If you want to dive deeper into the fascinating world of mathematics as Kero and Ewina did, research is the way to go! Through research, you can explore infinite possibilities, think critically, create innovative solutions to problems, and learn more about the world and yourself. With the right guidance and resources, you can embark on your own journey of discovery. And who knows what you might come up with!
All interested students are encouraged to take the first step by signing up for 2023 HLMA Student Information Session which will take place virtually on Friday, 24 February from 6-7 pm. For 2023 HLMA registration, please scan the QR code below:
