We can do this with the help of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I hope you have some ideas for creating a Smart Campus with Smart Learning, Smart Living, and Smart Saving aspects through our HSUHK Innovation Project Competition 2023. And I believe your ideas will shine via the competition!
