Members may choose to be writers, editors, or graphic designers.

Editors will help refine and guide the writers' work, while graphic designers are in charge of creating cover illustrations for the articles.

PLAYPROJECT
PLAYPROJECT'S mission is to advocate for and supply play to the children of Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, academics often take first priority in the eyes of many parents, causing play to be overlooked. Stimulative and educational play is extremely important in the early developmental stages of a young child, as it helps develop soft skills that will be crucial in later years. Furthermore, due to the current COVID situation, play has never been more inaccessible. We hope that our initiatives will be able to make Hong Kong a more playful city! https://playprojecthongkon.wixsite.com/website-2
Power of Pencil
Many Hong Kong children do not have access to sufficient resources that help them develop strong English skills. Power of Pencil's vision is to provide Hong Kong students with opportunities to improve their English skills such as reading, writing and speaking.
