Education plays an essential role in raising awareness of green challenges and shaping students' values. Pak Kau College launched the STEM education programme called 'Greenovation' in September 2018 to encourage junior secondary school students to adopt design thinking and STEM knowledge to solve environmental problems by their innovative ideas. In partnership with green groups and community resources, the programme starts with Deep Learning Day, enabling participants to ponder the environmental problems through authentic learning activities, that aligned with the learning objectives in the curriculum guide of Science Education Key Learning Area (Energy and Natural Science). By participating in the STEM workshops, rethinking the environmental problems using design thinking tools, prototyping, testing, and presenting their innovative project in school’s Maker Faire, not only students are encouraged to take green actions, the community could also share the benefits of innovations. 'Greenovation' enhances students' ability to integrate and apply STEM knowledge and skills, and 21st century skills such as creativity, collaboration, problem-solving. The post-event data is very encouraging to show that more than 90% of the students agreed the learning activities could enhance their self-confidence and science knowledge.

伯裘書院於2018年9月推展名為「綠色創新」STEM教育計劃，鼓勵初中學生採用設計思維和STEM知識，以創新理念解決環境問題、提高對綠色挑戰的認識、塑造學生的價值觀。 計劃與綠色團體和社區資源合作，使參與學生通過深度學習日的歷境學習活動，重新思考環境問題。活動作為計劃的起點，連結科學教育學習領域課程中能源和自然科學的學習目標。學生可透過參與一系列的STEM探索活動，以設計思維工具反思環境問題，再製作並測試原型，其後於學校Maker Faire中展示。這不但鼓勵學生運用STEM知識推動綠色創新，更能與社會分享創新成果。 「綠色創新」 STEM教育計劃提高了學生在學習過程中整合和應用STEM知識和技能的能力，從而培養21世紀必需具備的創造力、協作和解決問題的能力。從事後收集的數據中可以見到，超過90％的學生認為學習活動可以增強他們的自信心和科學知識，結果令人非常鼓舞。
