The Hong Kong Budding Scientists Award is co-organised by the Gifted Education Section, Education Bureau and the Hong Kong Association for Science and Mathematics Education, and is supported by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education.
It aims at nurturing the talents of scientifically gifted/ more able students at upper primary (P.4-6) and secondary (S.1-4) levels, and providing them with training in scientific problem-solving skills as well as collaboration, creativity, communication and critical thinking skills. It is hoped that students’ higher-order thinking skills, creativity and social and personal competency could be enhanced through the learning experience provided by the competition.
Students with outstanding performance in the competition may be recommended to the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education for consideration as its members.
The briefing sessions on Hong Kong Budding Scientists Award (2026/27) were held on 6 October 2026 and 8 October 2026 respectively. The presentation slides are available for download.
