Pneumatic Competition for Secondary Schools

Festo Didactic HK organised a Pneumatic Competition for the students of secondary schools. The first section of the competition was held at Festo Ltd on Saturday 28 June 2003.

The final was on Saturday 12 July 2003 at IVE Tsing Yi campus.

This event is a joint venture with IVE Tsing Yi. It is divided into three parts.

1. Fluidsim to develop pneumatic circuit.
2. Festo Pneumatic items for the circuit assembly.
3. Pneumatic circuit - trouble shooting.

Who takes part?
There are eleven teams - a total of 22 children - in the competition. We had 11 judges in the first round of the competition - mostly teachers of the secondary schools. We also invited the following VIPs to be the Guest Panel to support the event.

  • Dr. Chan from Hong Kong Polytechnic University
  • Dr. Ho from Hong Kong Institution of Vocational education- Lee Wai Lee
  • Mr. Eric Fung from Hong Kong Institution of Vocational education- Haking Wong To

They also help in the final assessment.

How were the competitors selected?
The competition was planned in February. Competitors must apply to Festo through their teacher - they represent their secondary school. So the students are selected by their teachers who then register for the competition.

What can they win?
Prizes were prepared for the top 3 teams. In addition, each students received a certificate issued by Festo and IVE. Souvenirs were given to each Judges and Guest Panels.

Results of the first section?
8 teams were selected to go on to the finals on 12 July 2003. The top 3 teams will be the winners.
