The expert faculty at Stamford American School HK extends beyond the campus via the Cornerstones Program, which grants Grade 9 and 10 students over 72 hours of access to industry professionals that mentor them to achieve real-world feats of design, engineering, art, finance, entrepreneurship, and more for course credit.

Although the iconic “Ding Ding” has a long history, the company is heavily focused on the future, allowing students to get a taste of professional engineering to create the next generation of tram cars.

Before embarking on critical Grade 11 and Grade 12 course selections, students experience life as engineers by using the design process and building on existing STEMinn knowledge to ideate and construct prototypes, develop alternatives, select a solution, and refine until the final presentation. Students foster critical thinking skills and design using industry-level software in the culminating 3D Modelling and Design Challenge. The course was designed and developed by…
