MTR Corporation’s STEM Challenge programme aims to cultivate curiosity and heighten interest in STEM subjects amongst secondary-school students. Using examples from our railway system, the programme illustrates the application of STEM principles in our daily lives, and offers students an opportunity to apply their creativity and technical skills to address a real-world challenge.
