澳大向小學生科普“城市災害與風險管理”
第五屆“城市災害與風險管理”小學生科普活動在澳門大學舉行。9所澳門小學的師生及家長通過參觀實驗室、專家講堂、科學遊戲、科普作品交流等，了解未來城市災害與風險管理的知識，從而提升小學生創新能力、安全意識和人文素養。
是次活動以“未來城市風暴潮災害與風險管理”為主題，由中國土木工程學會工程風險與保險研究分會主辦，澳門大學科學暨工程科普推廣中心和智慧城市物聯網國家重點實驗室聯合承辦。參與學校包括澳大附屬應用學校、氹仔聖公會中學、勞校中學附屬小學、新華學校（小幼部）、濠江小學、福建學校、氹仔坊眾學校、聯國學校和澳門國際學校。
開幕儀式上，澳大科技學院副院長周萬歡和中國土木工程學會工程風險與保險研究分會理事長、同濟大學教授張冬梅分別致辭，分會名譽理事長、同濟大學教授黃宏偉向專家講堂的講者頒發榮譽證書。澳大科學暨工程科普推廣中心主任譚錦榮出席活動。
專家講堂由澳大智慧城市物聯網國家重點實驗室副教授顏王吉和助理教授高亮分別以“振動探秘：從小豬佩奇家的樓板晃動談起”和“暴雨探秘：小豬佩奇遇到了雷暴天氣怎麼辦”為題進行演講，並與學生互動交流。
在科學遊戲環節，澳大10多名博士生和碩士生帶領小學生親自動手，開展“從‘一盤散砂’到‘穩如泰山’——加筋砂土的超強韌性”和“無孔不入，吸蓄滲淨——會呼吸的海綿城市”的科學遊戲。
在科普作品交流環節，澳門藝術家、科學家和澳大研究生綜合評審了31名小學生提交的26幅科普創意繪畫作品。此外，周萬歡向獲得科普作品一等獎的8名學生和二等獎的18名學生頒發證書，張冬梅則向於活動表現優異的學生頒發“小小科學家”榮譽證書。各校師生及家長均稱讚活動富有教育意義。

UM organises science outreach event on urban disaster and risk management for primary school students
The fifth edition of the science outreach event on urban disaster and risk management for primary school students was held at the University of Macau (UM). Teachers, students and parents from nine Macao primary schools learned about urban disaster and risk management through laboratory visits, lectures by experts, science games, and works of science popularisation. The activities also enhanced the innovation capability, safety awareness, and humanities qualities of primary students.
The event, themed on urban storm surges and disaster risk management, was organised by the Risk and Insurance Research Branch of China Civil Engineering Society, and jointly hosted by the Centre for Science and Engineering Promotion and the State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City of UM. Zhou Wanhuan, associate dean of UM’s Faculty of Science and Technology, and Zhang Dongmei, professor at Tongji University, gave speeches at the opening ceremony, respectively. The participants attended lectures by UM experts on floor vibrations and thunderstorms and engaged in discussions with the experts. Under the guidance of UM doctoral and master’s students, the primary school students played science games to gain insights into reinforced sand and sponge cities. In addition, certificates were presented to students for their creative science drawings and to those who had demonstrated outstanding performance in the activities. The participants highly appreciated the educational value of the event.
