Astronaut Lai Teaches From Space

Hong Kong's first astronaut, Lai Ka-ying, will deliver a live lecture from space as part of the 'Tiangong Class' event. The event is jointly organised by the Hong Kong and Macau governments and the China Manned Space Agency.

The 'Tiangong Class' event will include a live lecture from space, an in-orbit demonstration, and a question-and-answer session. Lai Ka-ying will be joined by her two fellow Shenzhou-23 crew members in delivering the live lecture.

The live broadcast of the event will be arranged on the Information Services Department's website and Facebook page, as well as local television stations. This will allow students and teachers in Hong Kong and Macau to participate in the event.

The Hong Kong Education Bureau will arrange for primary and secondary school teachers and students to watch the live broadcast on campuses. A delegation from Macau will also visit Hong Kong to attend the 'Tiangong Class' event.

## Why it matters The 'Tiangong Class' event is a valuable aerospace science education activity that aims to enhance students' knowledge of aerospace science and stimulate their interest in learning. By watching live demonstrations of science experiments conducted in space, students will be able to gain a unique perspective on the environment in space.

The event is a significant opportunity for students in Hong Kong and Macau to learn from Lai Ka-ying and her fellow astronauts. It is also a chance for the governments of Hong Kong and Macau to promote aerospace science education and inspire the next generation of scientists and astronauts.
