A woman in Engineering - increasing Macao students´ interest in Science and Technology

To support and popularize Science and Technology (ST) to the Macao students and to train their interest are important. Since there were less than 7% of the higher educational students majored in ST in 2013. Therefore, the author, who is a guide of a telecommunication gallery in Macao, also has the duty to increase students´ interest in ST. For this purpose, some science workshops, courses and demonstrations are designed by the author which are based on the Internet information. In this paper, a do it yourself (DIY) battery workshop, a DIY simple electronic piano course and an electromagnetic demonstration are introduced with the examples to show how these programs are designed to train the student visitors´ interest in ST. With the designs, science concepts and knowledge from books are presented in practical ways with real life examples for stimulating the students´ creativities and initiatives of doing science experiments.
