1.

Local school program brings computational thinking and coding skills to the youth in less resourceful schools where students are at the risk of being left behind in the STEM race.

2.

We are developing an accelerated Information & Computer Technology (ICT) curriculum unique in teaching Form 2 & 3 students to write practical mobile apps essentially by themselves.

3.

In partnership with MIT, we have improved the popular tool, App Inventor, to make it accessible to these technologically inexperienced youth.

4.

At the same time, we have a distinctive mentoring scheme  to promote psychosocial 

development and community involvement. We gather resourceful adults in the community to support these youth in creating useful apps not only to solve their own problems but also to benefit the larger community.

Objective 
To help students develop computational thinking and psycho-social skills through coding education and mentoring.
