In October 2024, students from our school embarked on a journey to Paris, France to participate in the renowned International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition 2024 (iGEM) and once again achieved remarkable results, winning:

1. Global Top Ten Award

2. Gold Award

3. Global Best Hardware Award

4. Nomination for Global Best WIKI Award

The iGEM was held in Paris, France from 23-26 October 2024. This year, there were over 400 participating teams from high schools, universities and graduate schools across the globe, with a total of over 9,000 participants. Among the 400 teams, 140 teams were from high schools globally.

Our school has been consecutively awarded the “Global Top Ten” in 2023 and 2024! This is a record achievement, as only our school’s joint team has been able to win the prestigious title of “Global Top Ten” among all the school teams in Hong Kong. Adding to this illustrious record, this is our third time winning the “Gold Award”, marking the glorious victories of 2019, 2023, and 2024.

The triumph did not end there, though. Our school has also won the “Global Best Hardware” award, which recognizes our equipment as exemplary. This accomplishment highlights our high standards and serves a reference for future teams to follow.

All participating iGEM teams were required to write a wiki webpage as a report at the final stage. Our team’s wiki research data is comprehensive, with rigorous logic, clear expression, and elegant formatting, resulting in our team being nominated for one of the best wiki webpages.
