Created in 2016, CoolThink@JC programme aims to encourage upper primary students to employ digital creativity for tackling challenges in an increasingly digital future, empowering them to become technology creators. Since its creation, it trained over 1,500 teachers to support computational thinking education in primary schools and benefited over 100,000 students. It has also received three worldwide accolades, attesting to its effectiveness, including a Silver Award in the Engineering & IT category and a Bronze Award in the Presence Learning & Teaching category of the QS Reimagine Education Awards 2021, and accreditation from the International Standards for Technology Education (ISTE).
The project receives generous donation from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, and is co-created by EdUHK, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and City University of Hong Kong.
