130 F.2 students took part in the captioned workshop organized by our Integrated Science Department and Chow Sang Sang Precious Metals Laboratory on 20 June 2024. The workshop began with a short lecture conducted by professionals from Chow Sang Sang Precious Metals Laboratory, where students learnt the basic working principles of electrolysis and gold electroplating. Students were then given copper wires to make their own crafts to be gold plated. Next, instructed by the professionals, students were allowed to gain some hands-on experience to get their crafts and their favourite accessories gold plated. All students were amused by the workshop and found it very meaningful as they could really experience the real-life application of science and appreciate the beauty of chemistry.
