The computing team head to Cambodia each year to bring aid to Silk Island and other places in Cambodia.

 

Students provide solar power to poor families, involving building the panels themselves and wire up homes with basic electrical appliances

 

Students build a learning centre and computing lab for a local Cambodian school on the Island and the village, PolyU students also design the learning resources with the aim of teaching the local children about science and engineering.

 

Through doing service, educational opportunities could be provided to all of the parties involved. Students could gain practical knowledge in the actual building of solar panels and student can enhance their teamwork and communication skills.

 

In the long run, we hope to cultivate a sense of social responsibility and encourage students to try something new and get out of comfort zone.
