Overview
The workshop focuses on how AI tools support PBL and school-based activity design; teachers will learn to use generative AI for interdisciplinary topic design, knowledge integration and the conceptualisation of innovative challenges. Through hands-on practice, teachers will master concrete methods for cultivating students' multi-perspective thinking and problem-solving abilities, and integrate AI applications into school-based curriculum planning.
Course Content
-Introduction to the basic concepts and application directions of generative AI in interdisciplinary question design
AI-Assisted Interdisciplinary Question Design
-Practical methods of using AI tools to design interdisciplinary questions, covering techniques such as question-type conceptualisation, option generation and difficulty adjustment
Integration of Multi-Disciplinary Knowledge
-Techniques for integrating content from multiple subjects including mathematics, science, language, history and geography, and understanding how AI helps connect knowledge from different fields
Innovative Question Conceptualisation and Challenge Design
-Using AI to conceive innovative and challenging questions, improving teaching design efficiency and the variety of teaching materials
Developing Interdisciplinary Thinking and Problem-Solving Ability
-Through the process of setting questions with AI, cultivating students' multi-perspective thinking, knowledge integration and problem-solving abilities, and promoting the development of interdisciplinary thinking

Billy Hau
Former NASA engineer with a strong background in aerospace engineering, holding a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University (USA) and a master's degree in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology. During his time at NASA Glenn Research Centre, he took part in several cutting-edge R&D projects, including electric aircraft, lunar outpost systems and deep-space mining robots, and received the NASA Silver Achievement Medal, NASA Group Achievement Awards, the AIAA Best Paper Award and other professional honours.
Billy also led the NASA Young Innovators STEM outreach programme, has years of experience teaching STEM courses from primary to secondary school level, and received the Outstanding Teacher Award from HKU SPACE (School of Professional and Continuing Education, The University of Hong Kong) in 2025, recognising his teaching performance. He is skilled at guiding students, from an engineer's hands-on perspective, to explore mechatronics, AI, aerospace and engineering design through project-based learning, giving classes both professional depth and innovative inspiration.
