[Good News] The 2026 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (Regeneron ISEF 2026) has successfully concluded in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Pui Ching students, with their outstanding scientific innovation projects, stood out in this world's highest-level scientific event for high school students, winning Grand Awards and securing Macao's first-ever two Second Awards!

This grand fair is a scientific competition gathering academic elites from all over the world. The Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ) organized the Macao student delegation, which departed for the United States on May 9, 2026. Students from our school, as members of the delegation, competed alongside over 1,700 scientific elites from more than 60 countries and regions worldwide. Our school's team ultimately succeeded in winning the Grand Awards. This is not only the result of the unremitting efforts of the participating teachers and students but also a historic breakthrough in the history of science education in Macao: it is the first time that Macao and our school have achieved Grand Awards for four consecutive years (2023 to 2026); and this year (2026) also marks Macao's first time winning the Second Award, with both being won by students from our school.

Since Macao started participating in this high-level competition, Macao had previously won four Third Awards, three of which were won by students from our school. Macao and our school previously set a record of winning Grand Awards for three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019. This time, winning the award for four consecutive years in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 has once again refreshed Macao's best record in this top international event, demonstrating our school's sustained leading strength in STEAM education and the cultivation of scientific research talents.

The award-winning details of our school for this year (2026) are as follows:

Awards: Grand Award – Second Award; Special Award (Shanghai Association for the Advancement of Science for Youths)

In addition, Zi Han Yang (S6A) from our school was also a member of the Macao delegation. Her project, Supramolecular Layer-by-Layer Engineered Probiotics for Inflammatory Bowel Disease Therapy, was guided by Professor Wang Ruibing from the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences, University of Macau, and our school’s Biology teacher, Mr. Iao Hio Fai. Mr. Iao also traveled to the United States to participate in the Biomedical Engineering category events.

On the international stage, our teachers and students engaged in in-depth exchanges with experts, scholars, and science-loving youths from all over the world. Sharing similar interests, they gained a wealth of experience. It is truly hard-won for our students to achieve excellent results in the ISEF competition for consecutive years. This honor belongs to the diligent research of all teachers and students. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Macao SAR Government, the DSEDJ, higher education institutions, all sectors of society, and parents for their long-term support. Pui Ching students will stay true to their original aspirations, make unremitting efforts, and continue to strive on the future path of scientific research to win glory for Macao!

Warm congratulations to our teachers and students on their triumphant return! The delegation returned to Macao today. Representatives from the DSEDJ, Principal Kou Kam Fai of our school, led a group of administrators, teachers, and students to welcome them at the Macao end of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge.
