The ceremony was held at MGM Cotai, bringing together around 320 representatives from government departments, science institutions, schools and community organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s programme expands the collaboration with aerospace science education institutions across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as well as national-level organisations in mainland China. The six-month project includes two main activities: the<strong> Macau Youth Creative Design Competition of Space Experiment<\/strong> for secondary school students from Form 2 to Form 5, and the <strong>Aerospace Scenario Experience Camp <\/strong>for Primary 5 and Primary 6 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the secondary school competition, participants will receive training from national aerospace experts through online and in-person sessions covering China\u2019s aerospace development, space environments and payload experiments. Teams will then submit experiment designs to be evaluated by experts from the CSA and Macau\u2019s science and technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Award-winning teams will participate in an aerospace study tour in Beijing later this year, visiting aerospace companies, museums and universities while attending seminars with industry specialists. The competition\u2019s champion team will also represent Macau at the 2026 International Space Science and Scientific Payload Competition (ISSSP 2026) in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was first introduced in 2024 and became the Chinese Society of Astronautics\u2019 inaugural science education initiative in Macau. It was later recognised as an Outstanding Event of the 2024 National Science Popularisation Day by the China Association for Science and Technology. Since launch, the programme has attracted 672 student participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kenneth Feng<\/strong>, chief executive officer and executive director of MGM China Holdings Limited, said: \u201cThe project aims to cultivate future technology leaders for Macau and inspire young people to play a part in the nation\u2019s aerospace journey. This purpose aligns closely with MGM\u2019s commitment to nurturing talent for Macau and supporting science education for young people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLooking ahead, MGM will continue to build on this foundation by introducing more diverse and innovative science education programmes. We hope to create stronger learning and growth platforms for Macau\u2019s young people and support the nation in <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/mgm-china-concluded-the-second-edition-of-mgm-x-cityu-responsible-gaming-promotional-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cultivating future<\/a> technology talent with creativity and practical skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/17607e2d-89f4-4d96-9463-5d30593bc67d-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/sjm-hosts-food-safety-workshop-to-strengthen-sme-partnerships-in-macau'>SJM hosts food safety workshop in Macau<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The six-month science education initiative will offer aerospace training, competitions and study tours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":226,"featured_media":17390,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"MGM China, in collaboration with MAPST and CSA, has launched the third edition of its \"Macau Space Dream Project,\" a six-month science education initiative.
