Kudos
Three Year 3 students from the School of Creative Media — Vincent Chan Win-kin, Michael Cheung Pak-kei and Jazz Zhou Jia — were 2nd runner-up in the Schneider Electric Energy Efficiency Cup 2010. Their award-winning project uses smart phones to monitor power, automatically turning off lights and electronic devices. The competition provides a platform for university students to develop their interest in the area, showcase their creativity, put into practice the theories they have learnt during their education, and contribute to protecting the planet.
