On a visit to Po Leung Kuk Yao Ling Sun College in Tsuen Wan today, Under Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Gregory So praised students for using their creativity and scientific minds to come up with designs that won recognition in the commercial market.

He was impressed to see the school implement energy-saving measures to educate the students through practical examples.

"I am glad to learn that the school had successfully fostered an atmosphere of scientific research by adopting a science-in-education teaching approach," he said.

This had encouraged the students to actively take part in research and development activities, he noted, and helped the school win awards in open competitions.

The Government was dedicated to providing an environment conducive to the cultivation of students' interest in science. He encouraged them to keep up their hard work.

Mr So invited the students to attend TechnoFrontier science lectures, join the Innovation & Technology Student Association and the Hong Kong Youth 3D Animation Competition 2009.
