“2024-25 FIRST® LEGO® League Hong Kong Championship” Organized by World Class Tests

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Hong Kong was proud to participate as judges in the 2024-25 FIRST® LEGO® League Hong Kong Championship. This premier STEAM robotics competition attracted over 300 elite teams from Hong Kong and overseas, including South Korea, the Philippines, Hungary, and Romania, with more than 2,000 students aged 4-16 competing.
As part of the judging panel, IET Hong Kong representatives evaluated robot designs based on innovation, programming quality, FLL’s core values and the teams' ability to explain their design processes and strategies. Our role was crucial in identifying and recognizing technical excellence among the participating teams.


This year's competition theme "SUBMERGED" focused on ocean sustainability and innovative technologies. The event showcased exceptional talent, with SKH Bishop Baker Secondary School completing a remarkable three-peat by winning the FLL Challenge Secondary Division Championship. Earlier in April, they had represented Hong Kong at the FLL World Championship, securing fourth place globally—a testament to Hong Kong students' world-class capabilities in STEAM.
Yau Ma Tei Catholic Primary School (Hoi Wang Road) claimed the Primary Division Championship, defeating strong competitors including the Hungarian team. Hong Kong Buddhist Wong Cho Sum School secured third place, further highlighting local primary education's strength in technology.
A historic milestone was achieved by Chinese International School, which scored a perfect 620 points in the Robot Performance category—the first-ever perfect score in Hong Kong FLL history. This remarkable achievement required completing 15 missions within a challenging 2.5-minute timeframe.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology Hong Kong (IET Hong Kong) successfully hosted the 20th edition of the "IET/MATE Hong Kong Regional of the MATE ROV Competition" from 26 to 27 April 2025 at the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi). This annual event was proudly co-organized with the Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology and the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Engineering Discipline), marking a valuable collaboration between leading educational institutions.
This year's event attracted approximately 400 participants, including competing teams, volunteer helpers, and attendees of the experience tour, demonstrating the growing popularity of this STEM initiative. The competition provided both junior and senior students with an exceptional platform to demonstrate their engineering skills through the design, construction, and operation of underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), while cultivating teamwork, innovation, and practical problem-solving abilities.
As the proud organizer of this regional competition, IET Hong Kong continues its valuable partnership with the Marine Advanced Technology Education Centre (MATE) in California, USA. The MATE International ROV Competition, conducted in collaboration with the Marine Technology Society's ROV Committee, has successfully engaged educational institutions worldwide for seventeen consecutive years, maintaining its important mission of advancing marine technology and engineering education.
This year's competition welcomed participating teams from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and mainland China across three competitive classes: SCOUT, RANGER, and EXPLORER. The champion team earned the prestigious opportunity to represent Hong Kong at the MATE ROV Competition World Championship, scheduled at the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Alpena, Michigan, USA - a remarkable international platform for our young engineering talents.
Complementing the main competition, IET Hong Kong organized several enriching activities to enhance participants' learning experience. The IET Hong Kong Experience Class provided junior students with foundational ROV knowledge prior to the event. A special demonstration session was held during the competition days which allowed registered organizations to observe advanced ROV operations. They benefited from hands-on learning opportunities, gaining practical insights into underwater robotics. Additionally, technical workshops and networking events connected students with industry professionals, fostering knowledge exchange and career inspiration.
