Partnering
1. Schools
We welcome partnership with middle schools (Form 2 & 3) to adopt our coding curriculum for ICT classes or Extra-Curricular Activities, which is coupled with a mentoring scheme that engages students in developing mobile apps for the community.
2. Platform Development
We need software engineers to help in the design and development of our proprietary coding platform, youCodia. We are also constantly revising our coding curriculum to make teaching and learning of coding more effective.
3. Research
We have and continue to work with academia to assess and evaluate our programs, as well as research into ways to help students develop Computational Thinking and Design Thinking.

The plan is to engage 3 Schools for Social Development (SSD) with all SEN students and 6 regular schools with a high percentage of SEN students. A mentoring scheme is coupled with the coding curriculum to support students’ collaborative learning and community engagement. The state-of-the-art curriculum would help students to self-learn, to think logically, solve problems systematically, and to develop confidence, motivation, and grit. We have improved the popular programming tool, MIT App Inventor, to make it accessible to under-resourced and technologically inexperienced youth.
