ABOUT US
"SIGHT taught me that in the real world, there won't be a solution manual that tells you the answers to your problems." -Dawn (SIGHT Leader, Year 4, Chemistry)
"Throughout my time in SIGHT, it created a way for me to learn the perspectives in which engineering, humanities and business students tackle a problem and come up with a solution." -Zuwin (MedEasy 2017 Team Member, Year 3, Biotechnology)
"I have learnt how to turn my insights acquired from papers into practical models step-by-step through experiments and prototyping." -Maureen (SIGHT Camp Graduate 2016, Year 2, Life Science)

WHO WE ARE
SIGHT stands for Student Innovation for Global Health Technology (中文：視野無界). Our motto: Simple Technology, BIG Difference. Innovation is designed by undergraduate students from different backgrounds working together, who aim for tangible solutions that are appropriate for poor communities. Deployment is driven by undergraduate students sharing the same goal of overcoming the social, cultural and economic barriers. SIGHT is hosted by the Office of the Dean of Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
