On January 13, 2026, a delegation comprising forty students and three teachers from the Diocesan Boys’ School (DBS) visited The University of Hong Kong to participate in a hands-on workshop focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and wireless charging technologies. The workshop was held in the Undergraduate Teaching Lab (CB-102), co-organised by the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
The workshop began with an inspiring welcome speech and an Admissions Talk delivered by Professor K.W. CHOW. This was followed by an interactive session on the emerging technology of multicoil wireless power transfer (WPT). During the workshop, students worked collaboratively in groups of five to complete a series of technical tasks. They also had the opportunity to interact with our in-house, knowledge-based chatbot (K-bot), specifically developed for the workshop, which provided real-time guidance and assisted them in overcoming challenges throughout the activities. The workshop concluded with a short Q&A session, where students’ questions about HKU and the EEE program were addressed.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the HKU Faculty of Engineering for facilitating the connection with DBS, as well as the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering for their invaluable support in ensuring the success of this outreach activity.
