Organised by the Joint School Science Exhibition Preparation Committee (JSSEPC) and co-presented by the Innovation and Technology Commission, the Joint School Science Exhibition (JSSE) has served as a perfect platform for secondary school students to put science into practice over the years. In its 52nd edition, the JSSE to be held in late August 2019 will showcase innovative scientific models, inventions and investigation results. This annual event not only arouses public interest in science, but also encourages the exchange of scientific knowledge among youngsters all over the world. The JSSE has been held successfully for the past 51 consecutive years and has been well-attended with a record of over 30,000 visitors last year.

Under the theme of "Journey" this year, students are expected to utilise science to alleviate the discomfort along the journey in our daily lives or during vocations through their inventions and investigation projects in the aspects of ‘safety’, ‘health and comfort’, and ‘environmental-friendliness’.

Following the Proposal Competition conducted in December 2018, the Project Holders’ Seminar was held on January 27 to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with this year's rules and judging criteria. They were encouraged to apply their scientific knowledge and creativity in the original proposals. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to display and demonstrate their entries to the public at the 52nd JSSE in late August. The Exhibition will also include exhibits from University Delegates and Overseas Delegates, a Kidsbond corner, a Science Theatre and more.
