Hair Styling Collection (2023)
The Youth College collaborates with The Salvation Army to promote the concept of intergenerational inclusiveness in the community. Students utilize their knowledge of fashion design and beauty makeup to create stylish images for 15 seniors aged 45 to 85. The elderly are transformed into fashion models, strutting down the runway in specially designed eco-fashion outfits during the 85th Anniversary Celebration of the Central Market. They radiate energy and grace. The students from the Youth College become a bridge connecting the community and the elderly in this project.
DVE (fashion) students utilize unused fabrics collected from The Salvation Army and the fashion industry to upcycle and transform them into fashionable and modern Japanese-style denim jackets.
DVE (Beauty Care) students are responsible for designing hairstyles and makeup, working together to create unique looks for the senior models.

The Youth College collaborates with The Salvation Army to promote an upcycling program for unused fabrics. Over 60 students from the Youth College's DVE (Fashion) utilize brand new unwanted clothing collected by The Salvation Army to showcase their creativity and craftsmanship by designing and sewing unique, fashionable, and environmentally friendly bags. This program not only promotes environmental sustainability and serves the community but also allows students to explore and pursue their personal interests while putting their learning into practice.

Faced with the challenges of engaging students in traditional mathematics education, students recognized the potential of gamification and embarked on a unique collaborative project, aiming to learn mathematic concepts through printed card games and digital card game.
DVE (Electronic and Computer Engineering) students designed the digital card game and DVE (Design and Print Media) students designed the printed card game. The card games help players build problem-solving skills rather than memorization of Maths formulas.
Design Concept
Most maths card games are quite traditional and unappealing to young people. We aim to redesign a maths card game set with colour and graphics more appealing to secondary school students using elements from popular Japanese animation.
Process
First, we interviewed secondary school students to learn more about their preference and and maths teachers to understand their requirements of maths card games. After the focus group interviews and questionnaires, we drafted our design using Adobe Ai and Adobe Photoshop and made several revisions before printing the cards. We also made a demo video to let users learn about the rules of the card games.
