Inspiring the Next Generation
啟發新一代開創思維
Cyberport Youth: Inspiring the next generation
The first of our important leaps is to inspire a creative and tech-
savvy generation of professionals. We want to inspire more
young people to follow technology pathways in their education
and step up to the ranks of the best coders, programmers and
digital innovators of the world. By laying the seeds now, Hong
Kong will reap the rewards of greater innovation and more
cutting-edge technology entrepreneurs. And of course, it’s
good for society as a whole. Learning technology and coding
skills translates into more than the possibilities brought by
technology-focused careers. The Youth programmes equip
young people to live in a much more technology-driven world,
inspire them to be creators of solutions and game-changing
ideas, and encourage them to be innovative.
How we are doing it
To this end, we undertook a multi-pronged strategy
encompassing training, workshops, internships, competitions
and more. Last year, we held competitions specifically aimed at
young people — and we are thrilled to announce that 2,019
eager young minds took part. These competitions included
Robocon Hong Kong Contest 2014, the Cyberteen Frontier
Day , the 5th Hong Kong Di g i ta l Game Deve l opment
Competition, BODW X Cyberport Game Design Hackathon and
Global Game Jam Hong Kong.
數碼港青年:啟發新一代開創思維
我們的第一部曲就是要啟發具創意、精於科技
的新一代,培育他們成為未來的科技專才。我
們希望啟發更多年青人選修與科技有關的學
科,日後成為獨當一面的程式人員及躋身國際
的科技革新者行列。我們今天播下的種子,將
會為未來數年帶來豐碩成果,造就更多創新意
念、更多走在時代尖端的科技企業家,而這一
切必定能造福社會。年青人學習科技和編程技
術的好處多不勝數。他們掌握這些專門知識
後,將可為他們帶來橫跨不同行業的發展機
會。數碼港為青少年而設的活動和計劃能讓青
少年裝備必須的技能以面對未來以科技為本的
世界,並有助啟發年輕人創造有可能改變世界
的新意念,並鼓勵他們發揮創意。
我們的策略
為此,我們推出全方位策略,舉辦了各類與科
技相關的項目,內容涵蓋培訓、工作坊、實習
計劃和公開比賽等。過去一年,我們舉辦了多
項以年青人為對象的比賽,令我們尤其雀躍的
是這些項目吸引了
2,019
名青少年踴躍參與。
