Following the design phase, the staff encouraged the elderly participants to bring their sketches to life by assembling LEGO bricks to construct their envisioned trains. For some elderly participants, this was their first encounter with LEGO bricks, and with the patient assistance of the staff, they experienced a sense of accomplishment upon completing the brick assembly.



Moving forward, the Lingnan University STEAM Education and Research Centre is committed to organizing more STEAM courses, aiming to provide the elderly with enjoyable and valuable learning experiences that enrich their lives and bring them joy.
