House of Scholars
Background
The House of Scholars (HoS) aims to develop students with high scholastic achievement into future-shaping leaders capable of devising and implementing solutions to address global issues and social challenges. Selected House of Scholars (HoS) members will receive comprehensive support and guidance from the Office of Student Affairs, including tailored consultations on goal setting and project implementation, opportunities for transdisciplinary collaboration with other high‐achieving students, and access to essential resources and networks. Those who complete the scheme with satisfactory performance will be conferred as Fellows of the programme and serve as distinguished ambassadors for the University, showcasing their leadership journeys.
Deliverable
HoS members are expected to complete a project—preferably in teams—that delivers measurable outcomes. Each member will receive seed funding of $4,000 per person. Members may solicit extra funding by collaborating with other HoS members or external funding sources, including Common Good in Action of the LQC.
By the end of the programme, members will submit a project portfolio and present their achievements in an exit interview. The interview panel, which will include external industry leaders, will evaluate members primarily on the originality, completion, and impact of their projects. The top 20% of high achievers will be recognised as Fellows of the House of Scholars. The fellowship conferment ceremony will be held during a university-wide event, presided over by senior university management.
Opportunities and Recognition
Fellows and Members will serve as distinguished ambassadors for the University, with opportunities to:
Represent the University at local and international conferences and networking events.
Serve as emcees for university-wide or external events.
Host distinguished delegations visiting HKBU.
Participate in other leadership opportunities, such as creating a personalised video to showcase their leadership journey.
Receive guaranteed sponsorship for overseas travel.
Serve as peer mentors to members of the House of Scholars.

Hong Kong Through My Eyes: Immersive Art Exhibition (Since 2025)
"Hong Kong Through My Eyes” is the first in an ongoing series of immersive art projects that transform hand-drawn creations into living, particle-based digital landscapes. Using TouchDesigner and Unity, each edition invites participants to become co-creators of an evolving virtual world, exploring how art and technology build bridges between people of all ages.
Chapter One (2025–26) invited 10 children aged 6–8 to draw imagined Hong Kong landmarks. Their artworks were transformed into a 3D immersive exhibition on 7 March 2026.

JUST ASK is our student-led mission to close Hong Kong’s elderly digital divide. We’ve already listened closely, connecting with 100 seniors to uncover their real smartphone struggles—and we will host practical, down-to-earth mobile workshops to help them master essential digital skills.

MentalpAI (Since 2025)
MentalpAI is an AI-powered mental health companion designed to support adolescents’ emotional well-being through daily conversations and early psychological support. Unlike traditional mental health services that are often reactive, MentalpAI proactively initiates interactions, engages users in casual and emotionally supportive conversations, and encourages self-reflection in a safe and non-judgmental environment. The platform also incorporates simple Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) wellness concepts, such as emotional balance and lifestyle regulation, to promote a holistic understanding of mental health. By fostering long-term, natural interactions, MentalpAI aims to help teenagers gradually build emotional resilience and healthier coping habits in their everyday lives.

SanaPlay (Since 2025)
SanaPlay is an interactive learning kit that promotes health awareness. Through an original team-created story, “Sana’s Little Heart,” and hands-on medical play with toys, crafts, and games, children learn simple medical vocabulary and concepts. They discover what common procedures and equipment do, why they are used, how to communicate their feelings to healthcare providers, and how to stay calm and confident during medical visits.
This matters because it builds early awareness of health and well-being, eases anxiety around appointments, supports clear communication among children, families, and clinicians, and contributes to better health outcomes. Through engaging, child-friendly play sessions, children become attuned to their bodies and feelings—mentally and physically—and exercise age-appropriate agency in their health.

AI x Art: Reimagine — Shaping the Future Together (LQC Student Project Showcase 2025-26) (31 March 2026)
“AI x Art: Reimagine — Shaping the Future Together” brought together a wide range of student projects from the Leadership Qualities Centre that blend technology with creativity to imagine new possibilities for our community.
This showcase revealed how students recognize community needs and are exploring new ways of learning, expressing, and collaborating across different communities for a better future. Each project is a gentle reminder that innovation is not only about technology; it is about people and place. With empathy at the center, even a small idea such as a short chat with a chatbot, a simple drawing, a short film, or a shared workshop can bring people together and influence how we live with one another.
It was not only a showcase, but also an open space for sharing vision, building collaborations and making improvements. It was a space to reflect on our future-readiness: Which qualities do we already embody, and which will we cultivate next? There, imagination becomes practice, and everyone becomes a co-creator of the future.
City of Imagination: Transdisciplinary Immersive Exhibition “Hong Kong Through My Eyes”
(踏進孩子的想像之城：跨學科沉浸式展覽《瞳・建香港》) (7 March 2026)
Curated by Lee Ting Chi (Bachelor of Music in Creative Industries (Hons), Year 3), Ng Man Hei Charlotte (Bachelor of Arts in Music (Hons), Year 3), and Pang Cherry (Bachelor of Arts and Science in Arts and Technology (Hons), Year 2), the exhibition transforms children’s hand-drawn depictions of Hong Kong buildings and original characters into flowing, particle-based landscape using 3D immersive digital art technology. Blending art and technology, the work constructs a dreamlike city woven from light, shadow and dynamic particles, inviting audiences to rediscover Hong Kong through the innocent perspectives of children
