The curriculum also contributes to STEM & IT trend that code.org and practical coding content are implemented in the P.1 & P.2 curriculum for them to learn coding through games and to establish a basis knowledge on coding. In P.3 to P.6, applications such as Scratch jr, Scratch, Micro:bit and App Inventor2 are implemented for students to develop creativity and problem solving skills. |
