Highlights: 2025 X-STEAM Program in Hong Kong
Meet Our Exceptional X-Plorers, Class of 2025–2026
"Walking into Cyberport, I was instantly captivated by the fusion of technology and creativity.
Through hands-on workshops and conversations with tech CEOs, I realized innovation isn’t just about coding. It’s about solving real problems with empathy and vision. This experience reshaped how I see my own role in the future of tech."
Ayaansh, Astronautical Engineering
"Anny’s guidance was the heartbeat of my journey. When I struggled with complex topics, she broke them down with stories and patience, showing me that every small step forward matters.
Her belief in me helped uncover strengths I never knew I had—like delivering a speech in English despite my fears. X-STEAM isn’t just a program. It’s where mentors light paths we’re afraid to walk alone."
Isabella, Marine Environmental Science
"I used to think asking 'smart questions' was about testing knowledge—until Stanford AI Platform taught me that real questions bridge concepts with real life. For example, instead of just asking how AI works, I now ask how it might affect people’s jobs or daily routines.
This shift didn’t just make my questions deeper; it helped me connect with others through shared relevance. I’ve learned that a thoughtful question isn’t about being right—it’s about opening a conversation with patience and respect."
Nathan, Energy and Environment
"Meeting sci-fi writer Chen Qiufan was a turning point. His advice—'find stories in everyday life'—unlocked my creative block and inspired the novel I’m writing.
Through X-STEAM, I learned that innovation thrives at the intersection of fields: literature, business, and technology. Presenting my project taught me that the most meaningful ideas often emerge from personal experiences, not textbooks."
Alyssa, Social Science
