LUXY Lab
Introduction
“LUXY Lab” is a collaborative initiative jointly organised by Lingnan University (Hong Kong, China) and Xinya College of Tsinghua University (Beijing, China). The programme is supported by funding from the Lingnan Education Organization Limited (LEO). It aims to promote exchange between students from Hong Kong, China and Chinese Mainland. Through a series of academic lectures, seminars, and site visits, students will gain deeper insights into the societies, cultural and creative industries, and technological development of regions. The programme encourages students to design cultural and creative products that integrate software and hardware, fostering meaningful academic and cultural exchange.
Activities will take place at Lingnan University and Xinya College of Tsinghua University. Professors and experts from both institutions will serve as mentors, offering professional guidance. By combining academic theory with practical experience, mentors will help students transform creative ideas into compelling products, culminating in digital or visual presentations of their work.
