Passion Project Ideas
計劃
Smart City Problem Solver
Smart City Problem Solver
Pick one Hong Kong problem such as waste sorting, traffic congestion, flooding, heat islands, or elderly safety
Design a prototype, app, or data-based solution using coding, sensors, or simple engineering
Test it with classmates or family and show how it improves the problem
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Shows problem-solving, real-world thinking, and the ability to turn STEM knowledge into something useful
School Science Research Project
School Science Research Project
Choose a question you can test safely, like which conditions help plants grow best, how sleep affects concentration, or which materials insulate heat best
Collect data over time, analyse the results, and present them in a report or poster
Add charts, photos, and a clear conclusion
Optional: Present the findings on a blog/Instagram, or to your school
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Demonstrates research skills, curiosity, and scientific method
STEM for Social Good
STEM for Social Good
Create a project that helps people, such as a low-cost air quality monitor, a study tool for students, or a reminder device for older adults
Build a simple prototype and explain the science or maths behind it.
Share it online, at school, or in a competition
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Shows you care about impact, not just theory, and that you can apply STEM creatively
Tag @YourStudySurvival if you carry out any of these ideas! 😉
Coding or AI Mini Project
Coding or AI Mini Project
Build a small app, game, chatbot, or website that solves a real need
(Examples: a DSE revision tracker, a study planner, a mental health check-in bot, or a neighbourhood guide)
Keep a log of your coding process, bugs, fixes, and improvements
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Highlights technical ability, persistence, and independent learning
Science Communication Project
Science Communication Project
Make science easier for other students by creating a blog, Instagram page, YouTube series, podcast, or zine
Explain tricky topics like genetics, climate change, coding, or physics in a simple and engaging way
Include visuals, examples, and short explanations
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Shows you can understand STEM deeply enough to teach it, which is a strong sign of mastery
