Seven students in the Higher Diploma in Games and Animation at the Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology at IVE (Tuen Mun) created an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience for the "Twenty-Four Vistas: The Inner Landscape" Art Exhibition organized by Lok Chi Association, using technology to unlock the infinite possibilities of art. Breaking away from traditional frameworks, the exhibition transforms physical paintings and artworks into VR images, allowing visitors to step into a virtual world and gain a deeper understanding of the mindsets and artistic achievements of artists with intellectual disabilities. Supported by the Social Welfare Department's Arts Development Fund for Persons with Disabilities, the exhibition opened on 24 October at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC). It featured cement pots, ceramics, and creative paintings by 24 talented artists with intellectual disabilities, showcasing their unique artistic visions and creative talents. Through the exhibition, visitors gained a deeper appreciation of these artists' talents and experienced how technology builds bridges between art and inclusion.

Students LEUNG Ho Him, CHANG Chung Yin, LAU Kwan Ting, and CHER Chin Cheung from the Higher Diploma in Software Engineering at the Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology (HKIIT) at IVE (Tuen Mun) formed the "Intelligent Power Distribution System" team. They participated in the 7th Greater Bay Area STEAM Excellence Awards 2025 (Hong Kong), organised by the Hong Kong New Emerging Technology Education Association (HKNETEA), and won a Merit Award in the Tertiary/University category.
The URA x IVE Innovation Design Competition was jointly organized by the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) and IVE Engineering. This year's competition attracted over 100 student participants. Students from Higher Diploma in Building Services Engineering and Higher Diploma in Computer and Electronic Engineering teamed up, and their project "Digital Triplet" won the Silver Award and the Smartest Design Award. This project monitors elderly residents' home air quality and enables remote control of household appliances. Family members can monitor air conditioning in real time and receive proactive alerts for unattended stovetops, elevated indoor temperatures, gas leakages, etc.
HK Electric held the "Green Energy Dreams Come True Competition 2024/25" to promote decarbonization, energy efficiency and conservation, and renewable energy. A team of three Higher Diploma in Building Services Engineering students from IVE (Tuen Mun) designed a "Sustainable Energy-saving Water Curtain Wall" model and was awarded First Runner-up in the tertiary group. This innovative building solution integrates hydroelectric and solar power systems into a water curtain wall system. By naturally cooling the building façade, it reduces reliance on air conditioning and enhances overall energy efficiency.
