Simon Wong is the founder of STEAM International School (STEAMIS), the only educational institute in Hong Kong that is affiliated to Nasa.
Wong comes from a family of horsemen and grew up around horses. “I often dream of being a jockey,” he says, “even to this day.”
“My grandfather worked for the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club [back when it was still Royal] for over 40 years. He started out as a riding boy and went on to [become] an assistant trainer.” But that was as far as his grandfather could go without having had an education, Wong explains.
