First-ever “LEGO® TechnicTM – STEM A.I. concept store” presents an integrated online x offline retail concept on top of promoting STEM education
HONG KONG, CHINA – Media
OutReach – 26 June 2020 – Online shopping is fast becoming a dominant global trend. As a company
committed to promoting innovation and providing its customers with a
top-quality shopping experience, Sino Group is pioneering an integrated online
x offline retail concept through the “POP Gallery” at Olympian City. Launched
in collaboration with pop-up experience platform PopSquare, POP Gallery displays
a selection of trending products, methodically identified with the aid of big
data and artificial intelligence (A.I.) technologies. Customers can now enjoy a
seamless online x offline shopping experience, in which they get to first explore
products that are trending online in real life, before buying them online.
Olympian City teams up with world-renowned toy brand LEGO® on the first project at POP Gallery — the world’s first LEGO® TechnicTM — STEM A.I. concept store, which showcases LEGO® TechnicTM, identified by A.I. and big data technologies to be the brand’s most popular series among global consumers.
Customers can obtain exclusive offers by interacting with the 5 A.I. enabled pop kiosks at the LEGO® TechnicTM — STEM A.I. concept store @POP Gallery or engage in live games.
On 5 June 2020,
POP Gallery officially opened its doors and greeted customers with the first-ever
“LEGO®
TechnicTM — STEM
A.I.concept store” @POP Gallery.
Rolled out with household name LEGO®, the store features LEGO® TechnicTM,
top on the worldwide Trend Prediction list. While introducing an industry-leading
retail concept, the store features an array of LEGO® TechnicTM
sets and experiential workshops to promote STEM education.
Predicting global
trends and identifying coveted products with A.I. and big data
To help the Hong Kong public follow
global trends more closely, Olympian City and PopSquare join hands to present a
new retail concept at POP Gallery, where A.I. and real-time big data analytics
are applied. Not only can customers experience the most talked-about products
from around the world and stay informed of the latest trends like their global
counterparts, but the “Trend Prediction” function of POP Gallery also analyses online
brand data collected from some of the most used social media platforms and
online retail networks (e.g. Facebook, Instagram and Amazon) to predict
upcoming trends and identify brands and product categories popular among global
consumers. Eventually, unique, uncommon, hot-off-the-press products are brought
to POP Gallery so that Hong Kong consumers can join hipsters worldwide and stay
at the forefront of global trends.
World’s first LEGO®
TechnicTM — STEM A.I. concept store promotes STEM through play
The first brand brought to POP Gallery
is world-renowned toy brand LEGO®. Its LEGO® TechnicTM
series, identified by A.I. and big data technologies as the most popular of the
brand’s products among global consumers, is on display at the first-ever LEGO®
TechnicTM — STEM A.I. concept store from 5 June to 5 July
2020. Customers can try various LEGO® TechnicTM products and
enjoy a seamless online x offline shopping experience.
Featuring advanced, life-like models of
different sizes that can be built with individual parts like gearboxes,
pneumatic systems and motors, LEGO® TechnicTM is suitable
for both beginners and experienced builders. The series encourages users to
acquire STEM skills through play, which corresponds to Olympian City’s mission
to promote STEM education. To facilitate interaction and further learning of
STEM knowledge including mechanical movement, LEGO® TechnicTM
STEM workshops will be held at the concept store every Saturday and Sunday while
the store is open.

to the kiosks. Items to be rolled out in July include green products, practical
designs, tasteful, convenient lifestyle products and wholesome games for
children. After viewing and trying a product in person, customers can scan the
