Our Objective

With This Project, We Aim to Promote

— Computational Thinking Skills
Develop the youth’s computational thinking skills and increase their overall competitiveness through digital literacy building in coding lessons that address the resolution of problems as a productive process.
— Relational & Psychosocial Development
Facilitating relational development and social integration via the ‘Adult-Youth Partnership Scheme’ that involves resourceful adult partners within the youth’s communities and promotes teamwork and meaningful interactions.
— Community Involvement
Build greater confidence, sense of competence, motivation and grit in solving problems to bridge digital gaps and social divides.
— Collaborative Engagement with Schools
Moving beyond focusing on technology itself, we emphasize students’ ability to identify, use and create information in a beneficial way for the society, with the joint-effort from teachers of different subjects.
— Assessment & Evaluation
Evaluate the psychosocial parametric properties of the underprivileged in developing their computational thinking through coding; and refine the conceptual framework of computational thinking for underprivileged groups.
