The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) will organise the “HSUHK Summer Academy 2026” from 29 to 30 July 2026 for Secondary 4 to Secondary 6 students. Under the theme “Social Innovation: Ideas into Impact”, the event will bring together different Schools and Departments to offer simulated classes, interactive games and workshops, allowing secondary school students to explore their interests and talents while experiencing the diverse university life.
The event spans a wide range of popular fields, including artificial intelligence (AI), psychology, translation and personal growth. Interesting topics include the Department of Social Science’s “Psychology of Emoji” which examines the meanings and use of emojis from a psychological perspective, highlighting the underlying dynamics of online communication. The School of Translation and Foreign Languages presents “Introduction to Card Game Translation: Starting with Pokémon”, which uses card game as a starting point to introduce AI-assisted translation, game localisation and computer-aided translation. The Department of Computer Science offers “Inside AI: A Hands-On Discovery Workshop”, where participants will learn about the development of AI models, from data collection to training, as well as the fundamentals of AI learning and development. In addition, the Honours Academy will organise the “Invest in Yourself, Enhance Your Future, Create Impact: Honours Academy Student Leadership Experience Workshop”. Through interactive challenges, the workshop will guide students in self-development planning, cultivating financial literacy, and recognising common scams and fraud schemes, while helping them integrate personal aspirations with community needs and transform social innovation ideas into practical and feasible solutions.
The HSUHK Summer Academy 2026 is free of charge and is now open for registration, with a deadline of 29 May. Interested Secondary 4 to Secondary 6 students may complete the online registration form without school nomination. Places are limited, and priority will be given to local Secondary 5 students.
