EVMT Sustainability Game Workshop
Selected high school students were invited to join a half-day Sustainability Game Workshop held by Environmental Management and Technology (EVMT) on 8 July 2022. Led by Prof. Arthur LAU, Program Director of EVMT, participants worked in groups to address the waste issues such as food waste, product wastage, overwashing and overpackaging with a sustainable design framework. In the sustainable product design challenge, participants needed to brainstorm as many ways as possible about how their product design fit into a circular economy model. They then presented their ideas in groups to exchange views among all. After the workshop, participants mingled over lunch with current EVMT students and Prof. LAUto get to know more about the EVMT program.
