When it comes to coding, Hong Kong kids will soon outlearn their parents! AI, machine learning, robotics and technigeering (tech + engineering!) are things that children will grasp incredibly quickly. We’ve rounded up the best STEAM, coding and robotics classes in Hong Kong.
Have a kid who’s always taking apart gadgets to see how they work? Or one who can put together an amazing presentation while you’re still working on PowerPoint? Our children are growing up in a very technological world and if your child is already showing an early interest in gadgets, devices, and games why not sign them up for some coding, STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Arts and Maths), or robotics courses?
Learning to code and build is a skill that will always be beneficial and can create opportunities for your child as they grow. Hong Kong has plenty of hands-on and interactive programmes, courses, and summer camps for tech and STEAM-minded children. With summer just around the corner, finding a coding or a STEAM camp is the perfect way to inspire and engage your kids and teens over the summer holidays.
