The workshop run by the manufacturer of the first generation of traditional plastic piggy-banks, Mr. Wong Man-yui, and the vintage toy mechanical engineer, Mr. Mak Wai-kwong, enabled students to learn the history of piggy-banks and the rise and fall of Hong Kong’s plastic industry. Students were taught to apply their imagination and the engineering design process to design and make their own unique banks. This was a very meaningful activity in which students realized the importance of passing down the richness of our traditional arts and crafts to future generations.
