1. Introduction

“Chemists Online” is a collaborative project between local universities and secondary schools

funded by the Quality Education Fund. Leading by Lok Sin Tong Young Ko Hsiao Lin

Secondary School and Hong Kong Virtual University, the project had organised 18 seminars

for secondary school students in the 2011/12 and the 2012/13 school years. The seminars

cover a wide range of chemistry topics, including synthetic polymers, gastronomy,

nanomaterials and food chemistry, etc. All the seminars were delivered by experts from

local universities. The contents of the seminars were designed to link with the senior

secondary Chemistry curriculum and further extend the reach to the latest advances in

chemistry.

The award scheme is developed from the contents of the aforementioned seminars and other

related resources, with Dr. CK MAK, the school head of Lok Sin Tong Young Ko Hsiao Lin

Secondary School, as the advisor.

2. Aims

- To enhance students’ scientific literacy

- To encourage students to take initiative to learn and pursue more knowledge

- To cultivate students’ interest in chemistry

- To facilitate students to understand the interconnection between science, technology,

society and environment.

3. Target participants and enrolment

Students taking Senior Secondary Chemistry or Combined Science (Chemistry Part) are

welcome. Students should apply via schools. Only one application form is needed for each

school.

4. Contents of the seminars

The seminars will be disseminated through an e-Learning Open Platform (eLOP; URL:

http://hkvu.hk/hkvu/cosas/), which is developed and hosted by Hong Kong Virtual University.

The participating students will be provided with login information to access and attend the

seminars online and engage in the online exercises related to the seminars. The 18 seminars

will be released by batches. The first batch will be released in early 2014 and the whole

award scheme will be completed on 15 August 2014.

The topics for the 18 seminars are as follows.

This is to encourage all secondary schools to participate in the ‘57th International

Mathematical Olympiad 2016 Logo Design Competition’ (‘the Competition’).

Details

2. The International Mathematical Olympiad is a renowned global mathematics

competition for secondary school students, and has been held each year in a different country

since 1959 with the aim of providing a platform for exchange and contest for young

mathematical talents around the world. The International Mathematical Olympiad Hong Kong

Committee will host the 57th International Mathematical Olympiad in Hong Kong in July

2016 and the Education Bureau will be a supporting organisation. It is estimated that more

than 100 countries will participate in the event.

3. To promote the awareness of mathematics education in society through this

opportunity and to enable more students to participate in this event in various ways, the

Organising Committee of the 57th International Mathematical Olympiad 2016 (‘the

Organising Committee’) now holds the Competition and invites all secondary school students

in Hong Kong to submit logo designs for the event. The champion design will be used as the

official logo of the 57th International Mathematical Olympiad 2016. Winners will also be

awarded with trophies, book coupons ($7,000 for the champion, $5,000 for the first runner-up,
