Science Taster Lesson: Students’ Reflection 科學體驗課同學反思

Charmeine Oh: 

“I’m extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in the awesome science day at HKUST. This was beyond a normal lesson - not only was it a chance to learn a lot about science through the STEAM programme, but also a chance to practice my acting skills on camera. Science never seems to disappoint me, and I will always be excited to join such interactive lessons.  

Originally, we had a script to follow, but Jane and I ended up saying what we normally would in class, so we weren’t really pressured and we sounded rather natural in the recordings. I never became tired despite having to stand behind the counter for quite a while. We did some experiments and it was super interesting. I was genuinely fascinated by the experiments and concepts they taught me there. I learned so much while still producing a good acting performance. I think Jane definitely had an unforgettable time as well. I’m truly happy that I had the chance to visit HKUST, and do experiments with the professors and teachers.”

Jane Hillary Chan: 

“Having heard about this special science day event, I was extremely happy and honoured to be on camera with Prof. Peter and Dr. Fire - and of course, to be with my classmate and best friend Charmeine - to partake in some science experiments.  

I had a lot of previous experience with science, though usually science is quite boring for me and it has never been my favourite subject. However, after having spent that day learning with Prof. Peter and Dr. Fire, it's actually a really fun and interesting subject. Doing experiments with the professors has made me become more interested in learning about how to conduct scientific experiments! 

Although it was hard and a bit nerve wracking at the beginning – especially being filmed with the famous Professor Chan - time soon started to pass quite quickly. Charmeine got along really well with the professors, which made me feel more comfortable! 

Despite a long period of shooting with Charmeine, it turned out just the way we wanted it to, while working together as a team. I think these challenges made us stronger in our ability to collaborate. Ultimately this was a great challenge that paid off in many ways, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. After a tiring day of intense focus and interesting experiments, I truly wish I can have the opportunity to do this again someday. Any chance to be in a laboratory again in the future sounds exciting to me!”

衷心感謝學校，讓我得以在香港科技大學參與科學體驗課，真是棒極！這個別開生面的STEAM課程，不但帶給我豐富的科學知識，也訓練了我幕前演出的能力。科學永遠為人帶來驚喜，科學互動課總讓我雀躍。

原本打算依足劇本拍錄影片，但我和喜茹同學最終卻展露了日常課堂的真我，所以拍攝過程不但壓力不大，我們反而更享受過程，表現也更見自然。課堂不算短，我要在實驗桌旁一直站著，但奇怪的是，我竟不覺累。我跟兩位博士一起做實驗，真是太有趣。當中的概念理論，令人著迷！我邊傾力演出邊吸收科學知識。我敢肯定喜茹同學都非常難忘。

這次能與科大博士和學校老師一起做實驗，真使我樂透！

一聽到學校舉辦這個別具一格的科學體驗課，我又有幸得與火博士和張教授一起在鏡頭前呈獻科學實驗課，我便興奮不已！

老實說，過去我一直對科學不大感興趣，但今次卻耳目一新。火博士和張教授讓我感受到科學的樂趣，也帶領我享受實驗的過程。

開拍時，尤其面對甚有名氣的火博士，我其實有點神經繃緊，幸好恩穎同學從容不迫，讓我可以愈來愈輕鬆自然。

拍攝時間頗長，但我們團隊卻在多方面取得成果。過程中有種種挑戰，訓練了我們的團隊合作能力，成為我們難能可貴的經驗和深刻的回憶。

我熱切期待下一次再享受科學的樂趣。
