Co-hosted by the Ministry of Education and Macau’s Education and Youth Development Bureau, this premier event brings together 60 outstanding high schoolers from Macau and 115 brilliant peers from ten central and western provinces. It is your ultimate chance to connect, create, and shine!
During the inspiring opening ceremony, leaders from ECUST’s international education, pharmacy, math, and information science schools warmly welcomed the campers. Deputy Dean Tian Ye delivered a powerful message, urging students to cultivate deep patriotism, forge cross-regional friendships, and sharpen their tech skills to fuel national development.

But the real magic lies in the hands-on projects! Guided by expert faculty, you will dive into three cutting-edge tracks: Biotech (empowering traditional pharmacy with AI), Math Science (smart transformations in 3D printing), and Information Engineering (designing smart cars with AI vision). Working in dynamic teams, you will tackle real scientific challenges, spark interdisciplinary thinking, and build unbreakable collaboration skills.
