授表示，全澳有八、九成以上的中學都有參與澳大 科普活動，共同合作推廣科普。 該基地未來將力推“科普外展計劃”，進一步鞏固 及深化科普工作所取得的進展。譚教授表示，基地 將搭建流動性科普平台，即把汽車改頭換面，變成 流動的趣味科學平台，到訪不同的中小學，分享學 習科學的樂趣。另外，還開展“中學聯絡教授”的 項目，透過委派不同教授與各中學作整體協調，協 助中小學在推廣科普相關工作，從而提供“點對 點”的支援，藉此更全面瞭解學校科普上的實際需 要。最後，該基地將積極與海外的科普教育單位合 作，尤其葡語國家的科普平台，開辦不同的國際科 技交流活動，讓中小學生接觸世界不同學校的最新 科技和創新思維。 Discovering Potential via STEM Education As for promoting STEM education to primary and secondary schools in Macao, the Macao Base for Primary and Secondary STEM Education has launched various programmes with different education units for over a decade. All of the programmes engage local schools to make good use of the abundant resources of the Base of STEM Education and discover students’ interests and potential in science and technology. For instance, the base offers a training workshop in technological innovation for primary and secondary school teachers on a regular basis. Professors from UM’s Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) introduced the latest research and applications in their areas of expertise in the workshop this year. The workshop not only facilitates and enhances communication between secondary school teachers and the base, but also inspires new ideas. The base has also organised summer camps for STEM promotion for 11 years in a row to encourage local students to seek their interest in science, whilst building a strong mentorship with students who are active in international competitions and exchanges. Prof Tam Kam Weng, director of the CSEP, says that more than 80 per cent of the secondary schools in Macao have participated in or even collaborated with UM’s activities that promote STEM education. In the near future, the base will launch an outreach programme for STEM education with the objective of further strengthening partnerships with local primary and secondary schools. Prof Tam says that the programme will go through several phases: first, a mobile platform for STEM education will be set up – vehicles will turn into mobile laboratories and tour to various schools, offering enjoyable science experiments for students. Second, the base will initiate the project of staying in touch with secondary schools – assigning individual professors as a point of contact with particular schools to help solve the problems encountered in promoting STEM education. This project aims to provide more comprehensive support to local schools for a better understanding of their actual needs. Lastly, the base will liaise with overseas counterparts, especially those from Portuguese-speaking countries, to establish a collaborative platform to promote STEM education, where primary and secondary school students of Macao will get to know the latest technologies and innovative ideas through international competitions and exchanges with various schools from around the world. 澳門中小學生參與科普夏令營 Primary and secondary school students from Macao participate in a science popularisation summer camp 短片：澳大科技實踐基地助中小學科普教育 Video: UM’s Macao Base for Primary & Secondary STEM Education Supports Science Popularisation 短片：靳洪剛談澳大中小學人文社科教育基地 Video: Hong Gang Jin Discusses UM’s Macao Base for Primary & Secondary Education in Humanities & Social Sciences 短片：澳門研究中心30年積累澳門知識資料庫 Video: Centre for Macau Studies Accumulates 30 Years of Knowledge about Macao umagazine issue 19 27
