The HKSF has become a grand and dynamic event, featuring an array of innovative hardware prototypes, family-friendly scientific interactive zones, and a showcase of cutting-edge inventions by local I&T institutions. The event is an exemplary community-driven initiative that promotes the popularisation of science and technology in the city.
