「環境及自然保育基金資助：香港植物保育的STEAM教育」計劃

　　本計劃由環境及自然教育基金資助、香港中文大學生命科學學院主辦、嶺南大科學教研組及尋花工作室協辦；將提供為期九個月的香港植物保育及教學活動。首階段將於 2024 年 7 月至 8 月舉辦野外考察和 STEAM 工作坊，讓學生體驗 3D 列印、認識植物繪圖和製作植物標本，既能認識本地植物生態，也可學習以科學及藝術角度探索和欣賞植物多樣性。

　　第二階段將於 9 月至明年 2 月舉行，透過「校園植物保育計劃」，讓同學發揮創意去為本地植物設立行動計劃，身體力行去實踐學到的知識。通過計劃，學生可獲得幼苗於校園園圃種植本地原生植物，過程中更有專家可免費提供種植意見。此外，參與學校將可獲得資助去購買種植物資。最後，各學校小隊將會製作及參與 2025 年 3 月的成果展，向公眾展示保育計劃成果。

計劃亮點：

學習生態及植物知識
以科學及藝術探索和欣賞植物多樣性，例如體驗 3D 列印、認識植物繪圖、製作植物標本等
在校園種植本地原生植物花園/園圃
專家免費提供種植意見
制定適合自己興趣的科學或藝術校園計劃

建議對象	：	中二至中四學生
名額	：	8 間學校，每隊 8–12人
