About Clean Air Challenge
Curated by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's Institute for the Environment (HKUST-IENV), "Clean Air Challenge" is a territory-wide student engagement component under the "Clean Air Neighborhood" campaign initiated by Clean Air Network (CAN) with support of The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Hong Kong, aiming to enhance youth empowerment and to raise public literacy on air pollution.
Complementing CAN's District Deep Dive component in Tuen Mun, which actively engages the core partnering school (Tam Lee Lai Fun Memorial Secondary School) and the community stakeholders around it within a 1.5 km radius, "Clean Air Challenge" aims to reach out to all secondary schools in Hong Kong, with the vision to replicate CAN's Tuen Mun community engagement experiences and amplify the impacts to other districts in Hong Kong. The Challenge also aims to empower youths with science and technology skills and knowledge and to encourage them to participate in developing creative solution ideas for solving air pollution problems.
