Our Projects

We are eager to take on new challenges. Since the day MakerBay was established, we have been working with makers, community centers and the public in pursuit of creating an impact to the society, addressing environmental and social issues.

Jockey Club AI Community Innovation Programme

Funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Jockey Club AI Community Innovation Programme is a 2.5-year hands-on education programme, bringing together participants from schools, communities, and the industry to learn, play and solve real-world problems with artificial intelligence.

Supported by Design Trust, MakerBay has been developing the “CoralBot” for mapping and conserving corals. 

Recently we visited WWF Hong Kong Hoi Ha Marine Life Centre and organized a workshop, aiming at raising public awareness of the need for coral conservation. With the aid of artificial intelligence, no matter who you are, you can participate and help to conserve corals. Through developing the CoralBot, we are not only showing how we can conserve corals with novelties like AI but also attracting new comers to get involved in improving the bot.

Jockey Club YouthCreate Series

For the past 3 years, MakerBay has trained several hundred teachers, social workers, youth workers and several thousand young people to innovation and maker skill set and mindset.

Local Maker Map

There are a lot of developed makers/maker groups, forming a great network altogether. From individual craftsmen to companies and maker space on a larger scale, they are all inseparable parts of the whole maker culture.

We created this map to provide you with a nexus of contents about the local maker culture. As the maker scope will only continue to grow, YOU are also welcome to contribute to this map! 

Impact Maker

“Jockey Club Community Sustainability Fund – Impact Maker Project ” is a step-by-step approach for youth to develop innovation skills and a problem-solving mindset to solve the challenges outlined in the SDG’s.

Ocean Park Conservation Chill Club

In order to conserve our beautiful corals, MakerBay has partnered with Ocean Park to roll out a program to equip Hong Kong youth with AI technology and knowledge about coral diversity to help build the AI model for coral reef mapping of Hong Kong.

Touch Tung O

We visited Tung-O Ancient Trail, a road that connects Tai O, a traditional fishing village, and Tung Chung, the city that neighbors one of the busiest international airports in the world. We connected with the locals, and by using design thinking and other activities, we came up with solutions to help them improve their quality of life while maintaining their cultural identity.
