2026SUM-P35 Poetry at CUHK: Exploring creativity with the use of AI*
Content
Unlike prose, poetry is flexible, layered, and deeply personal — the same poem can spark multiple interpretations depending on the reader. In this program, gifted students will explore diverse poetic forms while drawing inspiration from the landmarks of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Through guided campus walks, they will observe and record sensory details, transforming everyday sights into poetic imagery. Students will use AI tools to create fun, creative poems, then compare the AI-generated poems with their own original ones — sparking exciting discussions about how humans and technology can both be creative in different ways! The program culminates in a poetry performance showcase, where each student presents their original English poem aloud. This performance not only strengthens language fluency and confidence but also fosters deeper self reflection, as students experience how poetry can be both a personal voice and a shared art form.

Content
Strong writing skills are essential to success in secondary school and university studies. Mastering these skills will help students communicate effectively and boost their ability to think analytically and logically. The goal of this course is to establish the foundation of academic writing for secondary students. The course is divided into three sections. The first part focuses on structuring sentences cohesively using linking words and phrases to connect ideas, articulate relationships between thoughts and create smooth transitions in writing. At stage two, students will learn about paragraph components such as topic sentences, supporting points, and concluding or transition sentence. They will also be introduced to the techniques of argumentation for presenting clear and well supported points of view with facts and evidence. Finally, students will apply these skills in tasks like report writing and composing “pro and against” essays to argue both sides of an issue in a balanced and objective manner. By the end of the course, students should be able to state their views clearly, support their arguments with evidence, and express ideas concisely and effectively. Each session will involve group discussions and interactive activities to enhance learning.

帶著既輕鬆又認真的態度，通過電影促進藝術與科學之間的對話。本課程專為對熱愛電影、藝術、文學及喜歡思考的資優學生設計。面對未來的職業和人生的道路，我們需要作出不同的選擇，有時候更會因自己的決定而「懷疑人生」。我們希望通過此課程打破學員面對前路的各種迷思，並以電影作為類似動漫中的「異世界」，讓學員在科學中發現藝術，在藝術中體會科學，進而獲得如同「轉生」般的全新視角。在課程中，我們將欣賞科學家、藝術家及文學家如何以畢生熱情追求學問的浪漫，通過理解與感受他們的激情，探索科學與藝術如何交融。我們珍視資優學生對世界的好奇與關懷，希望他們在成長過程中能保持這顆珍貴與熱切的初心，勇敢為自己選擇更適合的道路。
這趟「異世界」之旅主要借助電影展開，並結合希臘神話故事（如普羅米修斯）、文藝復興及後期藝術家（如波提切利、米開朗基羅、達文西），以及浪漫主義文學（如《Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818)》），圍繞以下三個主題展開討論：（1）人類、科技與進步（主要文本包括《異形》(1979)、《普羅米修斯》(2012)、《異形：聖約》(2017)、《2001太空漫遊》(1968)、《奧本海默》(2023)）；（2）回憶（主要文本包括《無痛失戀》(2004)、《忘了、忘不了》(2004)、《觸不到的她》(2013)、《夢境》(2024)、《凶心人》(2000)）；（3）詩、數學與物理（主要文本包括《星光伴我心》(1988)、《霍金：愛的方程式》(2014)、《暴雨驕陽》(1989)、《星際啟示錄》(2014)）。

2026SUM-S69 How to Successfully Study Law and Become a Successful Lawyer in an AI Age*
Content
Hong Kong, as any society, needs good lawyers. However, with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), many have predicted, seemingly with some glee, the end of lawyers. Many predict lawyers will be replaced by AI legal assistants or robo-lawyers. It should be noted these predictions have come mostly from those trying to sell AI. Hong Kong, and the world, will continue to need good lawyers. This course is designed for those who are interested in pursuing the study of, and perhaps, eventually, a career in law. The course aims to assist these students to further develop their existing skills and to develop new skills which will assist them in successfully studying and practicing law. The course emphasises the human skills that machines cannot replicate or match. The course beings with an introduction to the essential skills needed to be developed to successfully study law and how these skills can be honed to transition the law student to become a successful lawyer. Although the course emphasises skills over substantive knowledge, some substantive legal study is required, but this will be developed using a non-traditional self-reliant research approach, making use of technologies such as AI. Students will be familiarised with the most important principles of court procedure, civil and criminal, and basic rules of evidence. Students will interview their clients, developing the client-handling skills required for the successful practice of law. They will research and answer the practical and legal questions that arise from these interviews. The information they obtain from their client and their legal research will then form the basis of the materials they will use in mock negotiations among themselves to try to assist their clients in solving their problems without going to court. Unlike real-life unfortunately, these negotiations are doomed to failure, as this negotiation and the consideration of various other forms of alternative dispute resolution, will then be followed by training in court presentation skills, witness handling, and forensic procedure and etiquette for the inevitable court battle. The course will culminate in a mock trial run by the students.
