The National Secondary School Aqua Technology and Inventions Competition cum Stockholm Youth Aqua Award China Regional Preliminary Competition was held in Nanjing.  Pui Ching was invited to the competition as an excellent project team.  Three students, including Lao Seong Hok, Ho Man Chon and Lei Hei In, attended the competition with their instructor Ms. Lao Kun Wa on May 24^th.  Pui Ching has been the only school from Macao to attend the competition to date and won the First Award. 

The current event has been held for 17 years, attracting hundreds of thousands of teachers and students from across the country.  Pui Ching’s Deep Water Water Quality Monitoring Robot can not only help to monitor the quality of water in water reservoirs, but it can also prevent and control water contamination.  In addition to receiving the First Award, the award-winners were invited to a tour of factory workshops, the smart pump room, and advanced water-processing facilities.  Mr. Lao Seong Hok was even invited to act as a simultaneous interpreter for experts from Sweden and received acclaim for his accurate interpretation. 

The current event encouraged students to participate in the conservation of water resources and raised their awareness of environmental conservation and the innovation of aqua technology.  The event also gave students a chance to present their work in the international arena and showcase inventions from Macau in the conservation of water resources.
