THEME OF THE YEAR 年度主題

RHYTHM 節奏

Science with rhythm, guidance to theorem

In the midst of the bustling society, citizens are bothered by the tense living pace, hence the physical and mental well-being of the public are put under severe pressure. We seek a regular rhythm of life in order to enhance our living quality, relax our body stress and relieve our mental burdens. In addition, the situation of global warming and pollution worsened, buildings and historical remains were corroded and altered. The collective rhythmic memories of the public gradually fade away, leaving the world in an unfamiliar appearance.

Hence, the 56th Joint School Science Exhibition Preparation Committee has decided to use “Rhythm” as the theme of the year, hoping that science is utilised to maintain the rhythm in individuals, collective memories of society and the ecosystem. Students are expected to probe into three aspects to design their inspiring inventions: adjusting the individuals’ circadian rhythm, developing on the collective rhythmic memories in society and maintaining the stability of the ecosystem. We believe that these innovative ideas can help the public to improve the quality of lives of citizens, as well as the sustainability of society.

科學跟從節奏 靈感跟隨變奏

在這個繁華煩囂的都市裏，每個人都被緊繃的生活所追趕，急促的生活節奏令人們的身心狀態也嚴重受壓，而且每況愈下。規律的節奏有助提升我們的生活質素，減輕我們的精神壓力，並讓我們舒展身心。同時，全球暖化和世界各地污染日益嚴重，導致建築物和遺跡開始變樣，人們的集體回憶逐漸被埋沒，世界也開始變得陌生。

有鑒於此，第五十六屆聯校科學展覽籌備委員會將以「節奏」作為年度主題，希望大眾能夠透過科學來改善生活的節奏，並以調節個人生活節奏、喚起集體回憶及調節生態系統作為切入點，設計創新的發明，從而提高市民的生活質素以及社會可持續發展的可能性。
