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.

The aim of the project is to select a suitable display for the lifts in the Youth College campus through: 
 

• Site visit
• Collection of user feedback
• Research on display panels
• Comparison of models

Drones have been widely used for tunnel inspections. The teaching team conducted a demonstration of using drone for lift inspection and has been actively discussing the feasibility of using drones for elevator inspections with industry partners, including CAPAX, EMSD, OTG, and others.

About Our Game Design Project 

Using the latest Unreal Engine 5, we create a new game with different effect blueprints. With a smarter AI system and the latest ray tracing, the motion system of Unreal Engine 5 is optimized. Taking advantage of the new technology, we create an infinite mowing mode with a sense of layering in which the NPC will continue to evolve over time, increasing the difficulty and the challenge as well as level of entertainment.

About the Game 

There is an outbreak of zombie virus outbreak in the future (2050s). It spreads across the globe. The government entrusts the characters to fight against the zombies and evil societies. The character will take the only flight to “City Spirit” to save the city. The mission of the character is to find the serum to restitute the city.

This project has developed an Anchor-based MR platform to demonstrate the feasibility of mapping physical objects into the virtual world. This platform offers precise and scalable interactions between the MR system and physical objects. Additionally, the platform is flexible and extensible, making it easy to develop MR applications in the future.

The platform is built on VIVE Pro and Unity, with laser-guided trackers incorporated to retrieve precise positions of physical objects, enabling players to have an immersive MR experience. Players can control a mobile vessel as a human analog to interact with the physical world, while a 360° camera installed on it provides a visual view of the vessel. Moreover, the platform has the capability to connect more than two players into the same virtual world through network connection.

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. 
 

In the role of an assistant to a building services consultant, students draft the design of the following facilities for an office using professional software, adopting industry standards: 

1. Air conditioning system 

2. Fire system (including sprinklers, emergency lighting system, fire extinguisher) 

3. Electric system (including lighting, MCB, sockets) 

4. Intelligent services (e.g. fingerprint identification access control system, remote control system linked with light system, window and aircon)
