Pui Ching Middle School is one of the leading school in Macau, reflecting by the students excellent academic performances regionally or even internationally. It has long been a tradition that Pui Ching does not only focus on the students' academic performances but also values the students' moral performances as a crucial part in their school life.
Pui Ching has obtained a relatively high reputation in its success of S.T.E.A.M. education among schools in the Pearl River Delta. The idea of S.T.E.M. has been proposed in Western countries for many years which emphasizes the education of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Pui Ching elaborates on the idea by adding an "A" to it, from S.T.E.M. to S.T.E.A.M., reflecting the role of Arts for students' full development.

Principal Investigator
I am Wai Man Cheong, an instructor of our team: PuiChing Macau. We have been collaborating with the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Macau and also various alumni of our school around the world to eagerly work on this project. iGEM embodies a variety of aims in multiple fields and it is evidenced by the massive collection of activities, which will not just be a challenge, but an exciting experience for us all. Together as a team, we will strive for our best and I do believe it will be an exciting opportunity.
