Spotlight：Realise your dream
【明報專訊】DreamStarter (啟夢者計劃) is a project that helps primary school students realise their dreams with crowdfunding. Baptist Rainbow Primary School (浸信會天虹小學) is the first school that has joined it. Some of its students wanted to build shelters for stray cats that could be controlled with a smartphone application. They wanted the shelters to be put near their school.

■ Game １
It isn't easy to design or make a product. That requires knowledge and skills. Dr Panda is trying to get the correct amounts of materials. A big cube is 2.5 times as heavy as a small one. How many small cubes must be put on the pan on the left-hand side of the balance to make the beam at equilibrium?
■ Game ２
The Smarties are upgrading the shelter's security system. It is controlled with a piece of software protected with a password. Find the missing number to help MoMo retrieve the software!
■ English highway﹕retrieve
To retrieve something is to find and bring it back.
e.g. MoMo retrieved her weapon from Eason.
