These programmes, designed to nurture future leaders in I&T, have been instrumental in attracting top talent from across the Hong Kong and beyond. ASTRI’s summer internship programmes are renowned for their rigorous academic and practical training, offering a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. These programmes are designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of I&T. The programmes are structured around a series of workshops, seminars, and project-based learning activities, providing a comprehensive and immersive learning experience.
The interns were tasked with developing and promoting innovative solutions to real-world problems. They were encouraged to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions. This led to the development of several innovative projects, including a mobile app for managing patient data, a platform for connecting researchers with potential collaborators, and a system for automating tasks in R&D. The interns also participated in workshops and seminars on topics such as intellectual property, patent law, and data privacy. These sessions provided valuable insights into the R&D landscape and helped them understand the legal and ethical considerations involved in innovation. The internship program offered a unique opportunity for interns to gain practical experience in a real-world setting.
The team’s project focused on developing a smart city solution for construction waste management. They designed a tower crane model that incorporated sensors and actuators to monitor and control the waste collection process. This innovative approach aims to optimize waste collection efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
