The Invention and New Product Exposition was held from June 13 to 15 in Pittsburgh, U.S.A.  INPEX is the largest invention exposition in the United States and attracts people from all over the world every year.

This year, three primary school students from Pui Ching attended the exposition with their inventions.  Primary 6 student Mr. Pak Ian Ho and Primary 5 student Mr. Yin Long Wong won the Gold Award with the Voice Controlled Wheelchair and the Smart Fish Tank respectively.  Primary 6 student Mr. Man Hong Cheng won the Merit Award with his Hope for the Fluffy.  The three students also won the Gold Award in the 10^th International Festival of Creativity, and their instructors Mr. Kuok Chin Un, Mr. Lok Tin Sou, and Mr. Yiu Kon Ma received the Best Instructor’s Award.

This was the first time students from Macao won the Gold Award at INPEX.  The promotion of STEM education at Pui Ching has time and again seen positive learning outcomes.  Primary school students also won the Gold Award in the 68^th International Exhibition of Ideas, Inventions and Novelties (iENA) in Nuremberg, Germany.  Pui Ching has always been keen on fostering students’ innovation and contributing to the development of future talents.  It is hoped that students will continue to engage in academic exchange with fellow inventors from around the world and push themselves to think beyond their boundaries.
