Communic Macao and Pui Ching Middle School held the unveiling ceremony for the Macao Campus Service Robot Education and Research Laboratory on September 18^th. 

Principal Kam Fai Kou mentioned in his address the positive results of STEM and robotics education since 2012.  He extended his gratitude to Communic Macao for donating the service robot Nature’s Mystery to Pui Ching.  The establishment of the Campus Service Robot Education and Research Laboratory in response to the S.A.R. government’s promotion of education diversification and innovation is believed to have taken STEM education at Pui Ching to its new height.

The Macao Campus Service Robot Education and Research Laboratory in combination with the Campus Management System will launch services such as facial-recognition punch-ins and school patrol.  More services are to be incorporated into the current system in the future.  Students had the opportunity to interact with the locally made service robots after the ceremony and the interactive session became a highlight of the morning.  Communic Macao also shared with the students the classification of different robots, their functions and their rapid development in history.

Communic Macao is established by the Macao University of Science and Technology to promote the commercialization of research products.  It aims to mass produce service robots by combining the merits of domestic robots and robots abroad.  Pui Ching’s cooperation with Communic Macao is expected to further promote STEM education in Macao.

Pui Ching graduate Mr. Wang Tou Kun is currently a student of the University of Massachusetts, majoring in digital media and minoring in photography.  An avid travel photographer, Mr. Kun held a photography exhibition from August 11 to 23 at the Marriott Gallery and received critical acclaim.  Vice-principal Mr. Keng Man Kuok also had the pleasure of enjoying his work at the exhibition.  A demonstration of his keen perception of life, Mr. Kun’s artworks serve as exemplary learning materials for aspiring youth artists.  His works will be on display at Pui Ching in front of Block H until noon, September 15^th.  Photography albums are available for pick-up.  All are welcome.
