Cubic Zine在我心中是一個幫學人及學生向大衆講故事的媒體,並且透過這些故事,可以刺激大家一起創新解決社會上的一些重要問題。 與團隊互動相當良好。做訪問跟平日上堂講課的氣氛很不一樣,能夠跟自己學科以外的人溝通並分享我們的任務目標,感覺相當有趣和有意義。帶着自己的學生去分享做研究的喜怒哀樂是一個有趣的體驗,亦再一次提醒我做學術和做教育都要勿忘初心、薪火相傳。
在訪問發佈之後,立即有其他學科的老師聯絡我洽談教學上的一些合作機會。另外,也有業界人士從社交平臺聯絡我,說看完訪問後感覺我們的研究很有意義,希望以後有機會交流及合作。感謝Cubic Zine爲我們打開了更多跨領域合作的大門。
周思驍教授中大工程學院信息工程系教授
This opportunity not only allows these students to explore different entrepreneurial ideas on our campus, but also provides a valuable experience for student growth and development.
Furthermore, I am grateful for the InnoPort Team’s initiative to visit various schools and interview the youth participants involved in our projects. This approach has added a more humanistic and living touch to the project description, which I believe will resonate with our audience and potential stakeholders.
周惠賢博士中大文學院文化及宗教研究系高級講師
I was impressed by Cubic Zine team’s professional interviewing skills, enthusiasm, and dedication to demonstrating the best of our social enterprise, not only through Cubic Zine, but also every other helpful channel and social media platform. Cubic Zine team’s support was invaluable in increasing the visibility of our social enterprise. I have already received several enquiries about our services as well as interests in joining the team to assist in service delivery.
Interviews reported in Cubic Zine has deepened my appreciation for the fantastic works of other researchers at CUHK. I was also happy to see the secondary student ambassador joining the interview, enabling us to learn more about their views. All of these gave me new insights into better serving the community.
