Abstract

This benchmarking report uses publicly available reporting to compare Hong Kong’s CoolThink initiative to analogous experiences in three leading jurisdictions (the United Kingdom, Singapore, and the two cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen in Guangdong Province, China). Looking across five dimensions that are fundamental to successful adoption at scale, the report offers a framework for reviewing CoolThink@JC’s accomplishments to date and computational thinking education (CTE) initiatives in other jurisdictions.
