The seminar uniquely blended an entrepreneurial mindset, athletic performance techniques, and Al innovation to provide educators with practical tools to nurture future innovators. <img src="/data/uploads/unleashfoundation11ea267f24677ea/tiny_editor/files/%E9%BB%91%E9%A9%AC%E6%80%9D%E7%BB%B4%E8%AE%AD%E7%BB%83%E8%90%A5%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%87/%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%872.png" style="height: 300px; float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; width: 40%;">Bridging Connection and Control Mr. Nelson Yip, M.H., founder of Unleash Foundation, opened the seminar with a powerful parallel between artistic horsemanship and education. Drawing from his experience as a 2008&nbsp;Paralympics equestrian representative, he illustrated how teaching should evolve from control to connection. His sharing particularly resonated with participants, with one educator noting, "Nelson's sharing was excellent, providing many inspiring ideas and transforming our perspective on values." &nbsp; Mastering State Management <img src="/data/uploads/unleashfoundation11ea267f24677ea/tiny_editor/files/%E9%BB%91%E9%A9%AC%E6%80%9D%E7%BB%B4%E8%AE%AD%E7%BB%83%E8%90%A5%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%87/%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%873.png" style="width: 40%; height: 220px; float: right;">The seminar featured powerful insights into performance state management. HKSES Scholar Mr. Clement Chan led participants through practical breathing exercises, demonstrating the powerful 4-7-8 breathing technique for stress management and enhanced focus. Olympic cyclist Boey Leung then shared valuable insights on pre-performance routines, process-oriented mindset, visualization techniques, and environmental tuning for optimal performance. &nbsp; <img src="/data/uploads/unleashfoundation11ea267f24677ea/tiny_editor/files/%E9%BB%91%E9%A9%AC%E6%80%9D%E7%BB%B4%E8%AE%AD%E7%BB%83%E8%90%A5%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%87/%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%874(1).png" style="height: 250px; float: right; width: 40%;">Al Tools for Creative Learning Tech innovator Ivan Chong introduced educators to powerful free Al tools that can enhance student creativity and learning, including Leonardo.Al, Ideogram, Suno,NotebookLM, and Cursor. While participants appreciated the demonstration of innovative Al tools, some expressed interest in more hands-on practice with these applications. <img src="/data/uploads/unleashfoundation11ea267f24677ea/tiny_editor/files/%E9%BB%91%E9%A9%AC%E6%80%9D%E7%BB%B4%E8%AE%AD%E7%BB%83%E8%90%A5%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%87/%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%875.png" style="width: 40%; height: 280px; float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">Research-Backed Discussion During the forum, Principal Jonathan Lai referenced recent research from the Journal of Contemporary Administration and Management highlighting how education plays a crucial role in developing entrepreneurial competencies. The research emphasizes that entrepreneurship education should focus on: Developing relevant skills for the digital age; Creating supportive learning environments;&nbsp;Removing stigma around failure; Reinforcing ethical values and social responsibility; Integrating technology effectively. EDB senior officers echoed these findings, emphasizing how Hong Kong's education system is evolving to nurture entrepreneurial mindsets. <section contenteditable="false" data-arttype="cont_1" data-attr="[{&quot;bg_color&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;style_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;#F4F4F4&quot;}},{&quot;bgopacity&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;style_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:100}},{&quot;margin_lr&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;padding_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}},{&quot;padding_top&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;padding_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;20&quot;}},{&quot;padding_bottom&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;padding_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;20&quot;}}]" style="margin:27px 0;"> <section class="atrWidget widget_cont_1 j_bg_color" style="background-color: rgb(244, 244, 244);"> <section class="j_margin_lr j_padding_top j_padding_bottom" contenteditable="true" style="display: flow-root;margin:0px;padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 20px; font-size: 16px; color: #333; line-height: 1.5;"> Participant Feedback Highlights The seminar received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants: <ul> <li style="margin-bottom: 13px; width: auto; text-align: justify;">"The seminar arrangement was innovative and thought-provoking, not dull at all."</li> <li style="margin-bottom: 13px; width: auto; text-align: justify;">"Guest speakers from various fields provided excellent content, thank you."</li> <li style="margin-bottom: 13px; width: auto; text-align: justify;">"The whole workshop was enriching.
