Led by HKMIEF Chairman Dr. Savio Wong, professor of education at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, this virtual coding workshop recruited 56 local primary students aged 10 to 12 from 10 local primary schools. The camp aims to promote STEM education, introduce computer programming and provide tips on digital literacy, safety and security to participants. They learned basic coding through the use of THUNKABLE, a block-based programming language which allows them to create a finished app. At the conclusion of the camp, HKMIEF held a coding competition from which 10 winners were awarded to join a new, follow-on coding course.
