Astro Teacher Programme 2025
The programme aims to provide secondary school science teachers with an immersive learning experience at world-class research facilities. Teachers gain in-depth knowledge, particularly in Astronomy, Astrophysics, Cosmology, and bring back ideas to enhance STEM education in Hong Kong through a blend of lectures, lab visits, and workshops. Participating teachers are tasked to collaborate in developing STEM activities for their students, such as student projects based on frontline research data and tools. Secondary school teachers and front-line researchers will forge a strong alliance, to strive for continual improvement and innovation in STEM education in Hong Kong. The theme of the programme will be Astronomy, Astrophysics, and Cosmology.

There have been many fundamental breakthroughs in Astronomy, Astrophysics, and Cosmology in the past two decades, such as the detection of Cosmic Neutrinos (Nobel Prize 2002) and Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies (Nobel Prize 2006), the discovery of dark energy (Nobel Prize 2011), gravitational wave (Nobel Prize 2017), exoplanets (Nobel Prize 2019), and supermassive black holes (Nobel Prize 2020). These breakthroughs have important implications for our fundamental understanding of the universe. It is certainly a good idea for students to know about these developments at an introductory level, not just to stimulate their curiosity, but also to let them see the deep connection between the physics they learn and these discoveries. An effective first step to strengthen STEM education is to enrich teachers’ knowledge about these recent discoveries.
