Cyberport STEAM Week for Educators to enhance teaching and learning
⋯⋯⋯⋯
Organised by the Cyberport Academy and supported by the Education Bureau and the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), The five-day event at Cyberport introduced the latest teaching developments in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) to around 100 primary and secondary school principals and teachers. Cyberport also helps to match the schools with appropriate EdTech solutions to enhance efficiency in learning and teaching, as well as to increase students’ learning motivation.
Eric Chan, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport, said, “The younger generation, known as ‘digital natives’, is inseparable from digital technology. Making good use of EdTech can help students become familiar with technology applications and equip themselves at an early stage. The innovative solutions of our EdTech start-ups can meet different education needs, enhance students' interest, creating more compelling learning process, improving efficiency and experience."
Some of the EdTech start-ups showcased include:
Farmacy - provides schools with smart hydroponic planting machines, teaching students to use Internet of Things (IoT) technology to remotely manage plants’ growth environments and collect relevant data, so as to understand agricultural science and technology as ways to solve food crises and promote sustainable development.
ESG Matters - designs a noise graphic generation course allowing students to input environmental data such as traffic flows into software which calculates decibels and displays them in different colours on a map. Students can learn to analyse noise situations and to understand the impact of noise pollution on the ecosystem.
AESIR - offers programming courses in which students can experience generative art and convert artworks into NFTs as to understand concepts such as blockchain and tokens.
Big Dipper - developed an AR interactive floor where students can select answers by stepping on options projected onto the floor using depth measurement technology.
Ask Idea - offers robot and drone programming courses to motivate learning and improve problem-solving skills through competitions.
The OGCIO also launched its “IT Innovation Lab in Schools” and “Knowing More About the IT Programme” schemes during the kick-off event to encourage schools to implement popular science education and to pave the way for nurturing local technology talent.
