Highlighted Awards
Organised annually by the Consumer Technology Association, CES is among the world’s most influential consumer electronics technology exhibitions, spotlighting cutting-edge electronic technology for modern living.
This is the 3rd time we have won this Gold Award. The SFPE Board of Directors established Chapter Excellence Awards to recognize SFPE Chapters that demonstrate excellence in contributing to the needs of their members and the Society.
We won the Gold Award for the project “Smart Firefighting Robot” in the “China International College Students’ Innovation Competition 2023”. This project is the only Gold Award in PolyU and one of the total 10 Gold Awards from HK, Macao, and Taiwan.
We won the Gold Medal with Congratulations of the Jury in the 50th International Invention Exhibition in Geneva for project “Smart Fire Extinguisher for Spacecraft”, which applies the air vortex rings to attach the flame in spacecrafts, without the use of water or any other chemical extinguisher.
