Hong Kong Cyberport is pleased to present the STEAM Week for Educators.

Technology has become deeply entrenched in our daily lives, there is a strong demand for talents with technology knowledge. STEAM education is the key that open the doors of innovation and technology for our younger generation. It paves the way for young people to seize future job opportunities, or to become entrepreneurs with their own technology venture businesses. Entrepreneurship could be their first jobs.

Hong Kong’s Government has allocated significant resources to help primary and secondary schools implement relevant STEAM initiatives. However, teachers also need well-designed and comprehensive teaching materials and solutions to support their teaching. To this end, the innovation and technology sector present collaboration opportunities to education professionals.

Cyberport endeavours to promote the education sector’s digital transformation. We house nearly 150 EdTech start-ups, many of which specialise in STEAM education solutions or have technological innovation that inspire STEAM Education. The STEAM Week aims to provide a platform for teachers and other educators to learn about Cyberport’s start-ups’ STEAM education solutions that can improve the effectiveness of learning and teaching, school administration, as well as instilling entrepreneurship spirit to students.

I would also like to express my most sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Education Bureau and Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO). They spare no effort in supporting the youth development and promoting career development of students that help them for actualising their full potential.

Cyberport will continue to promote EdTech development, and to support the education sector’s digital transformation through ongoing activities and initiatives. I wish all the participating schools a rewarding and fruitful experience from the STEAM week.
