CoolThink@JC strives to inspire students to apply digital creativity in their daily lives and prepare them to tackle future challenges in any fields.
They believe that computational thinking can empower students to move beyond mere technology consumption and into problem-solving, creation and innovation.
32 pilot schools will have educated 16,500 upper primary students on computational thinking by the end of this 4-year initiative. Through an extensive train the trainer programme, the initiative develops the teaching capacity of 100 local teachers and thus helping them to master the CoolThink@JC’s pedagogy.
Over time they hope to affect greater change by sharing insights and curricular materials with policymakers and educators in Hong Kong.
Goals:
- Develop Evidence- based Instructions
- Increase Teacher Capacity
- Seek Community Support
