Our next question: What is one habit or routine that has made the biggest positive difference to your school week, and why? To take part, drop us a line via this form by 12pm on Tuesday, October 20.
Cayley Chow, 14, Pui Kiu College: The AI tool would scan your handwritten notes, let you pick any musical genre – from K-pop to classical – and turn your revision topics into catchy custom songs and study playlists. After all, who wouldn’t want to study for exams by listening to their own album?
Zhou Yanxi, 12, SKH Tin Wan Chi Nam Primary School: I would invent a tool to standardise all written assignments into a uniform digital font and hide the names before grading. This ensures that teachers grade our work based solely on the quality of ideas. It would make school fairer for students who struggle with handwriting but have brilliant minds.
Ivy Lin, 14, Pope Paul VI College: I would create an automatic page-turning machine. When students are using e-books, they can follow the teacher’s lecture while the machine selects the correct page.
Melissa Peng Ching-miu, 16, HKWMA Chu Shek Lun Secondary School: It would be a caring partner for all young learners, especially those with special educational needs. The tool would adjust tasks according to students’ learning speed and mood. For pupils who get distracted easily, it would break work into short, simple steps and give gentle encouragement. It could also turn textbook content into easy-to-follow videos or voice guides. Besides study support, it would also monitor students’ stress levels. If someone felt anxious or tired from too much work, it would suggest short breaks and relaxing activities. I hope this AI tool would help every student feel valued and confident, so no one would get left behind.
So Pak-long, 13, King Ling College: An AI hologram book and homework tool so students could bring fewer things to school, such as heavy textbooks. It could also help students answer questions on topics they don’t know about.
Ranes Lam, 13, Kwok Tak Seng Catholic Secondary School: I would invent an AI tool called “Talk to your future self”. Students may struggle to make choices, such as where they should go to university. This AI tool would act like a 25-year-old version of themself. They could talk to their “future self” and figure out what they truly want rather than blindly following others’ expectations.
Alyssa Koo Tsz-yin, 14, Fung Kai Liu Man Shek Tong Secondary School: Students often struggle with group projects and may argue over their roles and workloads. I would invent an AI tool to help students determine their role and workload by analysing their strengths. This could allow them to leverage their strengths in the group and perform better.
Karis Wong Cheuk-laam, 14, Lui Cheung Kwong Lutheran College: If I could invent an AI tool to make student life easier, I would build a classroom pace adjuster. It would check how students feel. When we are tired, it would suggest the teacher take a short break.
Tam Hong-ching, 16, Immaculate Heart of Mary College: I would create an AI tool to translate ancient Chinese words into modern Chinese. It would be useful for anyone taking the Chinese DSE exams. Using this AI tool, I could chat with famous ancient scholars, like Confucius. It would make me interested in studying Chinese.
Bernard Lee Pak-look, 15, Fung Kai No 1 Secondary School: I would invent AI software that could create a three-dimensional world based on a student’s imported educational files, replicating historic sites or fictional buildings to help with their understanding of a topic. There would also be an option to generate an animated 3D world that creates unforgettable stories, helping students better memorise the information.
