The Out-of-School STEM Ecosystem in Hong Kong: Second Report 2016/17

October 27, 2017 | Public Programs, Exhibitions

The landscape for out-of-school STEM learning in Hong Kong is evolving. In 2017, to capture this change, the Croucher Foundation conducted a mapping exercise. This is the second annual mapping exercise conducted by the Croucher Foundation.

The study reveals a rich and vibrant ecosystem for out-of-school STEM in Hong Kong with almost 2,000 discrete activities covering a very wide range of science disciplines. This second report indicates extremely rapid growth in available out-of-school STEM activities compared to 2016 and an even larger increase in the number of organisations offering out-of-school STEM activities in Hong Kong. One significant highlight of this study is that we conducted focus groups to explore the experiences and perceptions of students and parents.
