澳大活動推廣衛星科技知識應用
為了更好地普及衛星系統的科技知識及應用，澳門大學科學暨工程科普推廣中心舉辦了四場科普工作坊，為12月舉行的“中銀科創菁英挑戰賽” 作賽前準備，吸引了13間中學的師生參與。
在四場以北斗衛星導航系統技術為核心主題的科普工作坊上，澳大科學暨工程科普推廣中心教研人員介紹了衛星系統由空間段、地面段和使用者段三部分的相關技術，配合實驗套件讓學生親身體驗衛星系統的卓越性能及其廣泛應用性，並探索其在澳門各行業的實際應用。
“中銀科創菁英挑戰賽＂由澳大澳門中小學生科技實踐基地——“全國科普教育基地＂和校友及發展辦公室主辦，獲澳門科學館支持及澳門中銀贊助。今年主題圍繞北斗衛星導航系統，讓學生從中了解國家的科研發展，掌握北斗系統所使用的科學與技術原理，並於日常生活應用相關知識，同時啟發他們為社區及中小微企的科技創新提供發明項目。
比賽於今年12月1日至28日接受報名並提交作品。對象為2023／2024學年就讀於澳門的中二至中六學生。學生組奬項設有一名一等獎（8,000澳門元），一名二等獎（5,000澳門元），八名三等獎（3,000澳門元）；今屆亦增設指導老師獎項，設有一名一等獎（3,000澳門元），一名二等獎（2,000澳門元），八名三等獎（1,000澳門元），歡迎有興趣的師生報名參加。詳情請瀏覽澳大科學暨工程科普推廣中心網頁https://go.um.edu.mo/5qt09blz。

UM holds activities to promote applications of satellite technology
The Centre for Science and Engineering Promotion of the University of Macau (UM) held four science outreach workshops, with the aim of promoting knowledge and applications of satellite technology. The workshops, which also served to prepare students for the BOC STEM Talent Challenge to be held in December, attracted the participation of teachers and students from 13 local secondary schools.
The four science outreach workshops all revolved around the technologies of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. During the workshops, faculty and researchers from UM’s Centre for Science and Engineering Promotion introduced to the students the technologies employed in the satellite system, which consists of a space segment, a ground segment, and a user segment. The students also gained hands-on experience with the excellent performance and wide range of applications of the satellite system through the experimental kit, and explored its applications in various industries in Macao.
The BOC STEM Talent Challenge is jointly organised by the Macao Base for Primary & Secondary STEM Education, a national science education base, and the Alumni and Development Office of UM, with support from the Macao Science Center and sponsorship from Bank of China (Macau). The theme of this year’s competition is the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, which aims to enable students to learn about the country’s research development, understand the scientific and technological principles used in the Beidou System, and apply the relevant knowledge in their daily lives. In addition, it serves to inspire students to develop inventions for technological innovation in the community as well as micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.
The BOC STEM Talent Challenge will open for entries from 1 December to 28 December this year. The competition is open to Form 2 to Form 6 students studying in Macao’s secondary schools in the 2023/2024 academic year. For the student category, there will be one first prize (MOP 8,000), one second prize (MOP 5,000), and eight third prizes (MOP 3,000). This year, there will be a new award category for supervising teachers, with one first prize (MOP 3,000), one second prize (MOP 2,000), and eight third prizes (MOP 1,000). Interested teachers and students are welcome to sign up for the competition. For details, please visit the website of UM’s Centre for Science and Engineering Promotion: https://go.um.edu.mo/qpt7w0ak.
