Workshop 3:

Fabricating a Solar Cell in a Cooking Fashion

（以烹飪方式製造太陽能電池）

Date:

11 January 2024, Thursday

Time:

14:30-17:30

Venue:

Room D1010, Hong Kong Metropolitan University

Speaker:

Dr Oscar FUNG, Lecturer

Introduction:

Basic principles and fabrication methods of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) will be introduced. The term “dye-sensitized” implies that the dye layer itself serves as an active layer and generates electrons after absorbing light. The dye is the key layer that generates electrons from the origin. Unlike research laboratories using synthesized complexes, herein dye made of natural fruit will be used and handled in a home kitchen. This activity is designed to be implemented in the school’s laboratory.

Time:

14:30-17:30

Venue:

Room E1030, Hong Kong Metropolitan University

Speaker:

Dr Oscar FUNG, Lecturer

Introduction:

This workshop offers a practical framework to design a STEAM class focused on the application of lenses. Participants will explore the properties of lenses and engage in hands-on activities to create two types of refracting telescopes (Galilean and Keplerian telescope) and a microscope. These engaging activities are ideal for Form 3 students or above, and it emphasizes the integration of the activities into relevant STEAM subjects.

Venue:

Room E1030, Hong Kong Metropolitan University

Speaker:

Mr Edmond FONG, Lecturer

Ms Lily CHUNG, Assistant Lecturer

Introduction:

Writing a program is not the ultimate goal of programming. Instead, programmers always design programs to facilitate human activities, including experiments. In the real world, no scientific research can be done without computers and programs. In this workshop, STEAM activities or experiments using Micro:bit to facilitate science investigation, such as measurement of water flow rate, water turbidity, and temperature, will be illustrated step-by-step.
