The Hong Kong ICT Awards 2025: Student Innovation Award aims to encourage students to utilize their creativity and computational thinking alongside knowledge in information and communication technology to propose solutions that contribute to social development. This year, the award features five themes: enhancing learning, promoting wellness, cultivating nationalism, enhancing information literacy, and solving social issues. EdCity will gradually introduce the details of each theme.

The first theme to be introduced is “Enhancing Information Literacy”. With the widespread use of information technology, many people often obtain information from the internet and social media, but the quality and reliability of this information are often concerning. In light of this, we need to enhance our abilities to search, evaluate, use, and disseminate information to collectively maintain a healthy online environment. EdCity invited Dr Li Chiu Fai, a council member of The Hong Kong Association for Computer Education, to share key points and considerations about enhancing information literacy to assist students in preparing their competition entries.

We welcome any young individuals passionate about social technological innovation to register for the Student Innovation Award and put their creative design ideas into practice, contributing to societal progress!
