25M003 - Upcycling Waste Residuals from Environmental Facilities into Value-added Eco-products 

The workshop provides first-hand experience of upcycling waste residuals generated from local environmental facilities so that participants will have chances to gain hands-on experience in producing various value-added eco-products using waste residues and consolidate their knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward the waste upcycling and sustainable development goals.

25M035 - A Glimpse of the Microscopic World

The workshop is designed to introduce participants to the scientific wonders in the microscopic world. Attendees will first learn to operate a microscope. Then, attendees will receive various samples and observe how microscopes help reveal hidden details. Additionally, attendees will use an AI-powered online platform to distinguish the identities of different samples.

Addressing Indoor Air Quality for a Healthier Future
This initiative focuses on addressing the environmental and public health risks associated with indoor air pollutants through scientific research and educational initiatives. The educational kit includes a comprehensive manual on IAQ monitoring techniques and instruments, enabling users to perform calculations, conduct statistical analyses, and compare data across various indoor environments.
Innovative Solution for Microplastic Pollution Detection
This invention advances the total organic carbon (TOC) analysis with an all-in-one sample pre-treatment device to efficiently and accurately assess microplastic (MP) pollution levels in different water samples. Compared with typical methods, this invention saved pre-treatment and analysis time by over 70%, and capital and operating costs by above 80% and 90%, respectively. Equipped with a web-based mobile app, users can monitor and control the pre-treatment device and collect real-time data remotely. It is applicable to determine MP mass representatively. Unlike other commonly used MP quantification methods, its accuracy is not affected by the complex nature of MP pollution and environmental conditions.
