Hong Kong Student Sky Ho Tsz Hang Wins Double Gold at Asia Spark Challenge 2026 Global Finals in Malaysia

HONG KONG — November 15, 2026 — Team Hong Kong representative Sky Ho Tsz Hang, a Grade 10 student from Cheung Sha Wan Catholic Secondary School, has brought international acclaim to Hong Kong by winning two Gold medals at the Asia Spark Challenge 2026 Global Finals. Held today at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the prestigious competition saw Ho rise above a fiercely competitive field to claim top honors on the global stage.

Double-Gold Triumph Across Core STEM Disciplines
Competing in the Grade 10 division against elite student finalists from more than 14 countries and regions, Ho demonstrated exceptional analytical acumen and problem-solving agility across multiple disciplines. Through rigorous focus and precision, he secured a Gold medal in the Mathematics Category and a second Gold medal in the Computational Thinking Category. This rare double-gold triumph underscores his versatility in both theoretical mathematical concepts and algorithmic logic.

Competing on a Flagship International Stage
The Asia Spark Challenge serves as an official international competition under Malaysia Techlympics, the flagship national STEM initiative spearheaded by Malaysia’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). Running from November 12 to 16, 2026, the Global Finals programme brings together top-performing Grade 1 to 12 students from across Asia and beyond. Beyond formal testing, the five-day event fosters cross-cultural academic exchange and challenges young minds in Mathematics, Science, Computational Thinking, and English.

Dedicated Preparation and Specialized Mentorship
Behind Ho’s remarkable achievement is a foundation of dedicated preparation and specialized mentorship in Hong Kong. Ahead of travelling to Kuala Lumpur, Ho honed his advanced quantitative skills under the guidance of Math Sense for the Mathematics Category, while developing his structural logic and computational strategies with Vertex Math for the Computational Thinking Category. Their targeted training helped equip him to navigate complex, time-pressured challenges against international peers.

Inspiring Hong Kong’s Next Generation of STEM Innovators
His dual victory also highlights the growing strength of Hong Kong’s youth in STEM education and international academic competitions. By excelling in both pure mathematics and computational thinking, Ho exemplifies the interdisciplinary capabilities required in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape. His success at MAEPS serves as an inspiring milestone for his peers at Cheung Sha Wan Catholic Secondary School and aspiring young STEM scholars across Hong Kong.
