Walking sticks that can help seniors keep in touch with their families, jewellery with elements in shapes of Shanghai’s landmark buildings, Chinese light meals, chic package designs to help farmers with sales of agricultural products – 105 teams of students from 61 vocational school students in Shanghai showed off their innovative and creative ideas at the West Bund in downtown Xuhui District on Saturday.
The showcase was the final of the second Shanghai Vocational College Student Innovation and Creativity Competition.
