Six teams of CUHK students won three first awards in the 13th Challenge Cup held at Soochow University from 13 to 18 October, and clinched the Hong Kong and Macau Cup again for the sixth consecutive time. At a celebration held on 14 November, Prof. Fanny M.C. Cheung (4th left), Pro-vice-Chancellor of CUHK, said, 'The Challenge Cup is considered the premier national competition for the extracurricular technological projects of university students. I am pleased with the students' outstanding results. I hope that our students will continue to use their creativity and intelligence to benefit humankind.'

Three projects received the first award. They were 'Under-actuated Wire-driven Mechanism and Highly Efficient Robot Fish', 'Converting Infrared Light into Broadband Visible Light at High Efficiency Using Lanthanide-sensitized Oxides', and 'Five Institutions with One Village'. The 'Battery-less Wireless Keyboard' got the second award; and the 'Virtual Reality Gloves' and 'Chord Analysis' received the third award. These projects will be on display in an exhibition held on the ground floor of the University Library, from 6 to 17 January 2014.
