Extension Innovation Method Training for COMP Student's Capstone Project 2026

I provided Extenics and Extension Innovation Method (METS) training to my two Capstone Project students (Ms. Chong Zhi Yi, Mae and Mr. Yu Cheuk Pan, Tom) and Henry’s colleagues in i3D Printer HK office on 2^nd Oct 2026. In the beginning, Marco helped me to take a group photo with attendees. I brought my books and gave all participants as gifts.

I introduced four steps of Extension Innovation Method including Model, Extension, Transformation and Selection (METS) and asked all participants to practice it including matter-element, affair-element and relation-element.

Finally, I took a photo with Mr. Henry Lee (our capstone project industrial advisor) and introduced some books about Extenics to him. It is a golden opportunity to involve the Extenics into Hong Kong AI education because Extenics is one of branches in Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI) (中国人工智能学会).

Visit to i3D Printer HK for COMP Student's Capstone Project 2026

I am honor to invit Mr. Henry Lee as our capstone project industrial advisor and I led my students to visit his company for STEM education related capstone project on 25^th Sep 2026. The project name is “LKH5: Website based online creative platform of Extenics named METS Platform”. Since 1983, Prof. Cai Wen has developed "Extenics," a foundational AI theory from China. The project aims to transform the Extension Innovation Method (METS) into an engaging educational tool, so as to create an online game / creative platform called "METS Platform." We took a photo in the company for memory.

Visit to HKPMAC for COMP Student's Capstone Project 2026

On 23^rd Sep 2026 afternoon, I lead my students Ms. Iris Lau, Mr. Marco Wong and Ms. Fiona Tam to visit the Hong Kong Precious Metals Assay Centre (HKPMAC) under Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX). It is the first capstone project named “LKH1: Development of Laboratory Information System (LIMS) for operation performance enhancement” since 2025. The project aims to design and implement online ERP system to replace the existing excel based system for laboratory operation. We arrived in the Hong Kong Gold Exchange and took a photo.

And then Dr. Kathy Fu (Lab Manager, HKPMAC) led us to visit the laboratory.

She explained the daily operation of laboratory and we need to register before access.

Different instruments are introduced such as X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy.

After that Dr. Kathy Fu introduced their data and customer recording excel-based systems and problems to students. It is an important kick-off meeting for this capstone project.

Finally, we took a group photo with Mr. Brian Fung (CEO, HKGX). Many thanks Brian and Kathy supporting to PolyU COMP Student Capstone Project.
