Shatin to Central Link E-Game Design Competition
Introduction
The Shatin to Central Link (SCL) is a strategic railway which runs through multiple districts in Hong Kong. It links up existing railway lines, making it more convenient to travel between different districts and offering more options for the passengers to choose.
Planning and design of a new rail link with the SCL alike, involve comprehensive studies and works. To enhance the public awareness and understanding on railway planning and design, the MTR Corporation and Hong Kong Computer Society jointly organized the SCL e-Game Design Competition in 2010.
The competition was open to all tertiary students with the aim to translate the complicated process of railway planning into simple web language through the creative mind of the younger generations.
The competition was well received and over 100 tertiary students took part individually or in teams. "Tap Tap SCL" was awarded the Grand Award for the competition. This winning piece not only highlights the connectivity and interchanges with the MTR network for the SCL, but also presents with cute graphics and user-friendly interface!
