In alignment with the Macao SAR Government’s policy to cultivate scientific and technological talent, MGM, once again in partnership with the Association for Promotion of Science and Technology of Macau (MAPST) and the Chinese Society of Astronautics (CSA), has successfully concluded the “MGM Youth Popular Science Series: Macau Space Dream Project”.
Following a successful launch last year, the “Macau Space Dream Project” has become the city’s first educational program focused on space science and payload technology, structured around the pillars of “Learning, Practice, and Research.” The inaugural 2024 project, which marked the CSA’s first science education initiative in Macau, was honored as an “Outstanding Event of the 2024 National Science Popularization Day” by the China Association for Science and Technology. Through this initiative, MGM hopes to cultivate local students’ interest in aerospace science, while inspiring Macau’s younger generation to embrace innovation and hands-on learning.
Running since May, the program featured a diverse range of activities, including study tours, aerospace science training, role-playing science games, and artificial intelligence workshops. Two major components of the program include: the “Macau Youth Creative Design Competition of Space Experiment” for Form 2 to 5 students, and the “Call from Deep Space” Experiential Camp for Primary 5 and 6 students. The organizers will sponsor the winning secondary school teams on a space-themed research tour in Wenchang, Hainan, where they will experience the remarkable achievements of China’s space industry, including witnessing a live water-based rocket launch demonstration.
The teams will also represent Macau in the “2025 International Space Science and Scientific Payload Competition” (ISSSP 2025), to be held this November in Hong Kong. Outstanding primary school participants joined an in-depth educational tour to Zhuhai in late September. The itinerary included a visit to Zhuhai Aerospace Land, the largest space science education hub in China authorized by the China Manned Space Agency. In addition, the students toured the AVICLUB education base to learn about aviation, observe domestic aircraft assembly lines, and experience flight simulators.
The “MGM Youth Popular Science” series also includes the Macao Science and Technology Association’s 2025 National Youth Science Camp and its sub-camp in Macau. Participants will have the opportunity to visit MGM’s properties and learn firsthand about the Company’s technological applications, enhancing their scientific literacy.
