Spend the summer in a smarter way
Need a break from your smartphone this summer? Studies show it might be a good idea. In fact, a recent survey of 992 teenagers showed that almost 32% of them are spending up to 4 hours a day glued to their phone screens. And almost a third of teenagers in general admit that their phone habits are disrupting their sleep and interfering with their studies. So maybe this summer might be a good time to put the phone down for a while and try and learn a new skill, or polish up an old passion. That’s the opportunity we’re offering at HKU SPACE Summer School. From July onwards, we have prepared over 50 specially-designed courses for teenagers aged 15 or above, covering all sorts of things from architecture, languages and law, to comic drawing, pop music, and 3D printing. The courses are grouped into three broad series.
沉迷智能電話已經成為現今社會的一個嚴重問題。根據最近調查發現，在被訪的992名青少年中，大約有三分一受訪者每日使用智能電話多達四小時，但他們表示感到使用智能電話的模式對睡眠及學業有影響。暑假將至，學院將開辦課程，讓青少年能利用這段閒暇學習新知識和技能、重拾兒時興趣，確實是一個放下手機的好時機。學院為15歲以上的青少年度身訂造了超過50個課程，涵蓋範疇甚廣，其中包括：建築、語言、法律、漫畫繪畫、流行音樂、3D打印等，主要能歸類為三大系列。 |
