It’s no surprise that AI is the future, get the little ones ready early with coding and machine learning classes for kids. When it comes to kids’ tech and coding in Hong Kong, you’re in good hands.
Have a kid who’s always taking apart gadgets to see how they work? Maybe you’ve got one who needs to brush up their science or STEM knowledge at school? Whatever the reason, Hong Kong has plenty of great machine learning classes and workshops to inspire kids in STEM, STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Arts and Maths) studies and coding.
Science camps over the holidays are a great way to keep children engaged, and parents have discovered over the last year that these classes can continue even online! From coding boot camps to classes teaching robotics, laboratory experiments, computer programming, machine learning for kids, digital art and more, there is a science, technology, engineering or coding class for every child in Hong Kong.
