STEAM Shanghai Drone Soccer Competition – Champion

Champions! Our School’s Drone Soccer Team Triumphs at the Shanghai-Hong Kong-Macao-Taiwan Youth Drone Soccer Invitational Tournament

勇奪冠軍！本校無人機足球隊揚威「滬港澳台青年無人機足球邀請賽」

Our school’s drone soccer team was greatly honored to be invited to Shanghai this summer, from August 21st to 23rd, to participate in the “Shanghai-Hong Kong-Macao-Taiwan Youth Drone Soccer Invitational Tournament,” organized by the SK Shanghai-Hong Kong Heart Association. Despite a tight schedule and an early morning arrival at the airport, our students’ enthusiasm for the competition and cultural exchange remained exceptionally high.

On the first day of the trip, our students visited technology enterprises and a museum. They were amazed by Shanghai’s rapid development. During their visit, they also had the opportunity to interact with local university students, gaining valuable insights into higher education programs and campus life in the Mainland. Furthermore, the organizers made special arrangements for our team to enjoy the spectacular night view of the Oriental Pearl Tower. A traditional Chinese clothing performance at the welcome banquet also broadened our students’ horizons, significantly deepening their interest in Chinese culture.

August 22nd marked the official day of the competition. Showcasing remarkable teamwork and perseverance on the field, our team members overcame numerous challenges, outperformed their rivals, and proudly took home the championship! On August 23rd, during the drone soccer performance, exchange session, and award ceremony, our team represented Hong Kong and successfully defeated the Shanghai University Joint Team with their superb flying skills. This inspiring victory has truly brought glory to Hong Kong.

Beyond the enriching competitive experience, our students had the privilege on the final day to listen to insightful presentations by various experts from the Mainland and Hong Kong, including the Director-General of Civil Aviation of Hong Kong. The experts discussed the future development trends of the “low-altitude economy” in the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao. This greatly broadened our students’ perspectives on the prospects of related technological fields, benefiting them immensely.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to school for providing continuous support in STEAM and this invaluable opportunity. We look forward to seeing our school’s drone soccer team continue to break new ground and achieve even greater success in future competitions!

本校無人機足球隊十分榮幸，於今個暑假8月21日至23日獲邀前往上海，參加由滬港同心協進會等機構主辦的「滬港澳台青年無人機足球邀請賽」。是次行程雖然緊密，同學們更需於清晨提早抵達機場出發，但無阻大家參賽與交流的熱情。

在首天的行程中，同學們參觀了科創企業及博物館。同學們對上海的急速發展感到十分驚喜，期間更與上海的大學生進行交流，深入了解內地高校的課程資訊與校園生活。此外，主辦方亦因應我們的行程作出了特別安排，帶領師生們欣賞東方明珠塔的璀璨夜景；而在歡迎宴上的中國傳統服裝表演，更令同學們大開眼界，大大加深了對中國文化的興趣。

8月22日為正式比賽日。本校隊員在賽場上展現出無比的默契與毅力，過五關斬六將，最終力壓群雄，勇奪冠軍！到了8月23日的無人機足球表演及交流會暨頒獎禮上，本校隊伍更代表香港出戰，憑藉精湛的技術成功戰勝了上海高校聯隊，成績令人鼓舞，為港爭光。

除了豐富的比賽經驗，同學們在最後一日更有幸聆聽多位來自內地及香港的專家分享，當中包括香港民航處處長。專家們詳細探討了內地與香港、澳門未來在「低空經濟」方面的發展趨勢，令同學們對相關科技領域的前景有了更廣闊的認知，絕對是獲益良多。

感謝學校全力支持及提供這次寶貴的機會，期望本校無人機足球隊在未來的賽事中繼續突破自我，再創佳績！
