Abstract

CoolThink@JC, which launched in 2016, is scaling the study of computational thinking to primary 4-6 students across the territory. This report examines the progress made by the CoolThink@JC initiative at midline and describes CoolThink implementation at the classroom and school levels after one and two years of CoolThink adoption, the development of an emerging ecosystem that can support CoolThink@JC at scale in Hong Kong, and the important factors to successful adoption by the full breadth of primary schools in the territory.
