Good Health and Wellbeing

Gerontechnology is an emerging topic in Hong Kong.  To help elderly live better and smarter, students use their knowledge and skills to create a Smart Shopping Cart to:

• Help elderly to solve their daily life problem
• Promote the use of technologies for the elderly
• Contribute to smart city and smart living in Hong Kong 

DVB (Sport) students applied what they have learnt at Jockey Club Mus-fit Action Health Assessment Day, offering their support to middle-aged and older individuals attending the event. They conducted health assessment and played a vital role in enhancing the overall experience for the participants. Their unwavering commitment and contributions truly exemplified their eagerness to promote healthy living and raise orthopedic health awareness in our community.

Students design smart interactive sports training for primary school students, apply what they have learned. They visited the Salvation Army Tin Ka Ping School to provide training for primary school students, promoting smart technologies in sports. 

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The term "Attosecond" refers to an extremely short, momentary event, reminding us to seize the best moments of life before they slip away. Life is beautiful but short. To document every moment of growth, this clock features an unconventional way of displaying time while also accommodating small houseplants inside. This integration embodies the essence of 'carpe diem,' encouraging us to make the most of our time and appreciate the fleeting beauty of life.

This project won Merit Award (Student Group) in the 39th HK Watch & Clock Design Competition.

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.
