The Education Bureau has issued a circular notifying schools that the Hong Kong-Macau Tiangong Classroom session is scheduled for 9.50am on September 9, 2026. Primary and secondary schools have been invited to watch the livestream at school.
The space teachers will be Zhu Yangzhu, commander of the Shenzhou-23 crew, astronaut Zhang Zhiyuan and Lai Ka-ying, Hong Kong’s first payload specialist.
The session is expected to include presentations by the space experts, live demonstrations of scientific experiments and an interactive dialogue between the crew in space and students in Hong Kong and Macau.
The Education Bureau has invited all primary and secondary schools to tune in, although the reports do not give a figure for the number of schools expected to participate. The available information also does not confirm whether the session will take place exactly as scheduled or state an official duration.
