具特色的AEROSTEM（航空科技學習課程）
Chinese Y.M.C.A. Secondary School provides students with a unique technology-based learning program based on the concept of "Science and Education for a Better Country." The school has established the first AEROSTEM-themed Learning Center in Hong Kong, integrating STEM education with aviation technology. It is equipped with a two-seated DA-40 flight simulator, certified by the Australian Civil Aviation and Safety Authority (ACASA), to help students build their interest in STEM and apply their knowledge in innovative ways.
For example, students learn to design real flight paths using advanced navigation software and systems developed by Boeing. This process requires them to complete a series of lessons that incorporate elements of physics, meteorology, geography, mathematics, as well as the positive values of perseverance and responsibility.
The AEROSTEM program begins with fostering an interest in aeronautics. In the middle school STEM curriculum, students learn basic aeronautical knowledge, including science, geography, English language, mathematics, and essential values like hard work, perseverance, and responsibility. After passing assessments, students can enroll in Qualifications Framework (QF) courses offered by the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) to obtain relevant government certificates.
Additionally, senior students have the opportunity to participate in flight training overseas in Australia. They will fly a new single-engine aircraft, allowing them to sit in the cockpit of a real plane and apply the aerospace science and technology knowledge they have learned in school. This experience helps them achieve the important milestone of "launching" their studies.
Moreover, the school provides students with future learning opportunities in aerospace science and technology, forming a diversified and comprehensive platform for studying at overseas higher education institutions. Students can choose courses related to aerospace technology and aerospace engineering, preparing them to become vital members of the future aviation industry and creating new career pathways for themselves.
