Lau Ming Hang, a teacher from a Hong Kong school that already offers space-related courses, said his school's computer classes have adopted a 3D design curriculum based on plans developed by mainland aerospace experts. He expressed excitement about Hong Kong now having its own astronauts in space, which he said has deeply inspired students. He also voiced hope for stronger collaboration between Hong Kong and the mainland to foster students' interest in innovation and space technology.

Lam Chun Fung, a teacher from a Hong Kong secondary school, said Hong Kong students now have the opportunity to participate in national space projects, opening new possibilities for their future development.

Hu Yanyinuo, a student from Tai Po Sam Yuk Secondary School, said many scientists started with fundamental disciplines and she would continue to study hard following their example.
