Passion Project Ideas
計劃
Pick one subject you’re strong in (e.g., M1/M2, Physics, English, Chinese) and design a small, structured tutoring programme for 4–8 younger students (e.g., S1–S3)
Create a simple syllabus with 6–8 sessions, each with clear learning goals, a worksheet or activity, and a 5‑question “exit quiz”
Track progress (pre‑test vs post‑test), collect feedback, and write a 5–8 page reflection,what worked, what didn’t, how you’d improve the curriculum
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Shows you can design learning experiences, assess progress, and reflect like a teacher, which is direct evidence of teaching potential and pedagogical thinking!
Research evidence‑based study techniques (spaced repetition, active recall, interleaving, exam‑style practice, note‑taking systems) from reputable sources
Turn these into 2–3 short workshops (45–60 mins each) with slides, handouts, and practical exercises tailored to HK exam culture (DSE, IGCSE, IB)
Introduce to your own class collect feedback, and iterate
Optional: create a short “Study Skills Toolkit” PDF and share it with your school counsellor or teachers
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Demonstrates understanding of learning science, initiative in helping peers, and ability to translate theory into practice
Identify a gap in your school’s offerings (e.g., critical thinking, financial literacy, coding for non‑tech students)
Design a 4–6 session “micro‑course” or club: clear objectives, session plans, activities, and a simple assessment or showcase at the end
Recruit 10–20 participants, run the course, and document everything (lesson plans, student work, feedback) into a small portfolio with a 5–10 page reflection on what you learned about teaching and curriculum design
