PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Design-Led STEM (D-STEM) with interdisciplinary practice of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and design is funded by the Quality Education Fund (EDB/QEF/2019/0531). The project is conducted by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University with the Royal College of Art, The Mills Fabrica and The Hong Kong Design Centre. The project aims to enhance learning and teaching experience of creative and STEM secondary curricula via interdisciplinary practice of artificial intelligence and design.
02
To enhance teacher’s pedagogy to teach and assess D-STEM through direct communication and interaction with international and local experts in the workshops and activities conducted in this project.
03
To enhance students’ knowledge and skills to creatively solve real world problems via interdisciplinary practice.
04
To create engaging and effective D-STEM learning activities within a hybrid (Studio-Lab) environment.
05
To recommend strategies for training in D-STEM with reference to findings.
06
To assess and evaluate the impact of introducing D-STEM as compared to previous discipline specific approaches.
Using AI technology and intelligent textiles as a medium with a design-led approach to enhance the teaching and learning of STEM and DSE subjects. (Subjects include, Technology and Living (T &L), Design and Applied Technology (D&T) and Visual Arts).
Co-nurturing of talents with industry, professional community and academia
Hybrid practice that synthesizes creativity and technology to foster innovative real-world problem solving.
Fostering collaborative teamwork, process and environments that are fluid and conducive to fast advancing innovations.
The project objectives are:
01
