CoolThink@JC App Inventor Student Training Workshop
The Education Bureau (EDB) has stepped up the promotion of STEAM education in primary schools for all students by launching the “Enriched Module on Coding Education for Upper Primary Level”, adopted from CoolThink@JC. Starting October 2023, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust is partnering with MIT Hong Kong Innovation Node to further develop computational thinking education by bringing CoolThink App Inventor courses to schools and students who have not previously participated in CoolThink programme. This provides equal opportunities for every student to learn this essential 21st century skill and prepares them for a rapidly digitizing future.
The target participants are students from Primary 5 to Primary 6 (Priority will be given to students from government schools, aided schools, and Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) schools who have not previously participated in CoolThink). Schools interested in nominating students for the training workshop can get the details of the training workshop and apply through the following website: https://forms.gle/XRviKsFknUdt4u2s7
