CoolThink@JC inspires students to use digital creativity in everyday lives and sharpen their skills to use technology for social good from an early age.
To further promote Computational Thinking Education, The Education University of Hong Kong is organising the Curriculum Unit Design for Subject Teaching and CT Development Contest, which aims at encouraging primary school teachers to incorporate computational thinking into subject teaching by designing teaching units based on their school needs.
The selected teaching units will have opportunities to be widely adopted, and obtain funding to participate in the International Conference on Computational Thinking Education to share experience and best practices with peers from other regions.
The Contest is now open for application, details are as follows:
