本課程主要由小學課程《細説德語》和《細説德語（進階班）》合併和演變而成，供未曾接觸德語的資優中學生修讀，希望為喜歡語文和異國文化的資優中學生提供學習德文的機會。相信大家對德國足球、德國香腸、啤酒、運動用品、汽車，甚至學術成就也不感陌生。説到德語，大家可能會説不懂，但日常生活經常接觸的kindergarten一字，其實也是德文。語言是打開另一個世界的鎖匙，德語是歐洲大陸、也是歐盟的重要語言，許多哲學、科學、文學和宗教作品都用德文寫成。德語從來都是英語的「好親戚」，德文和英文不僅語法接近，詞彙亦相似。許多我們熟悉的英文字詞也與德語有關，如德文的 Februar 和Mai，你能猜到是哪兩個月份？透過有趣的多元化活動，學員除了有機會認識德語的基本詞彙外，也會學習口語技巧，例如嘗試學用德語作自我介紹及與同學溝通，最後亦會挑戰難度較高的寫作，學習運用德語。除語文知識外，導師也會介紹德國風土人情，加深學員對德國文化的認識，學懂欣賞不同語文及文化。想挑戰自己的學習語言能力，或想踏進德語世界的初中學員，歡迎報名參加。

2024SUM-S69 Future Law: Can Law Protect us from Science, Technology and the Metaverse?*
Content
This course will consider the challenges facing our world as science and technology advances at a rate that outpaces the law which is intended to protect and serve us. The course will consider the problems facing law and lawyers when they are asked by clients to deal with the issues and benefits that scientific and technological advances bring. We will consider the latest advances and anticipated advances in science and engineering, and the ethical and legal issues that may follow. In particular the course will consider (a) advances in medicine: research using embryos and stem cells, DNA mapping, bioengineering, medical and pharmacological breakthroughs and profit, the issues that arise from living longer or even forever; (b) making humans and super humans: in vitro fertilization, genetic engineering and bionics; (c) resurrecting the dead: cryonic preservation; (d) saving the planet and feeding the world: no plastics, limitless clean energy and genetically modified foodstuffs; (e) making machines think: from self-driving cars and automated weapons to independent artificial super intelligence (including the replacement of lawyers and judges); (f) space exploration and colonization; (g) extra-terrestrial visitors; (h) the internet and information: free-access, privacy, fake stories and policing the internet; and (i) semiconductors, 5G technology, and supercapacitors: the internet of everything. All of these advances and possibilities bring ethical considerations and concerns, and may raise legal issues which will be discussed in the course - particularly they may identify gaps in the law as advances in science and technology raise issues that have never been considered before. The course will also consider the impact of the global pandemic, COVID-19, on the law and being a lawyer. In conclusion we will consider the future for law and lawyers with more use of technology in law and the claim that we may be facing the end of lawyers.
