AI literacy talks and workshops for primary and secondary schools

We run AI literacy talks, workshops and hackathons in Hong Kong secondary schools and for upper primary (P4 to P6), designed around EDB’s AI Literacy Learning Framework and taught in Cantonese or English. Book a single talk, a workshop for one class, or a series across the school year.

EDB教育局

Aligned with EDB’s Digital Education Development Blueprint

In June 2026 EDB published the Digital Education Development Blueprint for Primary and Secondary Schools, which aims for AI education in every school and for every student, and asks schools to include digital education in their 2026/27 school development or annual plans. For primary schools, EDB released the trial “Introduction to AI” strand of the primary Information and Innovation Technology curriculum framework in July 2026, for schools to try out this school year.

Every publicly funded primary and secondary school has received a one-off HK$500,000 grant under the AI for Empowering Learning and Teaching Funding Programme. It can be used to fund student activities that build AI literacy and skills. Each school decides, under the programme’s guidelines, whether to use it for a school visit.

Sessions課程

Sessions you can book

Every session is adjusted to the year level, group size and what your school wants to focus on.

Spotting AI misinformation and deepfakesStudents learn how generative AI produces text, images and video, why AI output can be wrong, out of date or biased, and a simple set of steps for checking a claim before they trust it or share it.Primary 4 to Secondary 6 (adjusted by year level)Session details →Focus and wellbeing in the age of AIStudents look at how short-video recommendation feeds and the flood of AI-generated content compete for their attention, reflect on their own habits, and set a practical self-management rule for using AI and digital tools in study and daily life.Primary 4 to Secondary 6 (adjusted by year level)Session details →Using AI responsibly: privacy, copyright and academic honestyStudents learn to use AI sensibly in homework and daily life: what not to type into an AI tool, the copyright questions around AI-generated content, how to declare AI help honestly, and why research, analysis and reflection should not be handed over to AI.Primary 4 to Secondary 6 (adjusted by year level)Session details →AI co-creation: build an app prototype with no coding experience“Vibe coding” means describing an idea to AI in everyday language and letting it write the code. Students use design thinking to pick a real problem in their school or community, build a working app prototype with AI coding tools, then test and improve it with users. No coding experience needed.Secondary 1 to 6Session details →AI and career planning: future jobs and skillsStudents look at how AI is changing day-to-day work across different industries, which tasks AI handles well and which still need human judgement, communication and creativity, and set a next learning step based on their own interests.Secondary 3 to 6Session details →Post-exam and STEAM week: AI hackathonTeams of four or five pick a school or community problem, build a prototype with AI tools in half a day or a full day, and present it to judges and classmates. The format comes from the Connect Co-Creation Hackathon we ran.Secondary 1 to 6, ideally 20 to 60 studentsSession details →AI literacy for non-Chinese-speaking students (in English)An AI literacy workshop taught in English for non-Chinese-speaking students.

Track record實績

What we have done

In February 2026 we ran the Connect Co-Creation Hackathon at Dream Impact: 53 participants aged 12 to 28 built solutions with AI tools, with no coding experience needed.
On 26 April 2026, the University of Hong Kong’s CEDARS gave Umeed Connect its Distinguished Service to the Community Award.
We build and run Umeed Connect, which publishes information for Hong Kong’s ethnic minority communities in ten languages.

FAQ常見問題

Frequently asked questions

Do you visit schools on the outlying islands?

Yes. We visit schools in every district, including the outlying islands, and travel is included in the quotation.

Can primary schools book?

Yes. The misinformation, focus and wellbeing, responsible AI use and non-Chinese-speaking sessions all suit Primary 4 to 6, with content adjusted by year level. AI co-creation and the hackathon are for secondary schools only, because most AI coding tools have minimum user ages; career planning is aimed at Secondary 3 to 6.

What language are sessions taught in?

Cantonese or English. Sessions for non-Chinese-speaking students are in English.

Do you respond to invitations to quote?

Yes. Email your invitation to contact@umeed.hk. We provide a quotation in the format your school needs and an invoice after the session.

Can our school pay with the AI for Empowering Learning and Teaching grant?

The grant can fund student activities that build AI literacy and skills. Whether a session qualifies is for the school to decide under the programme’s guidelines; we can provide the outline and activity details your school needs for its records and reports.

What if a session is cancelled because of bad weather?

Sessions that cannot go ahead because of bad weather or other reasons are not charged, and we can agree a new date.

Do your staff and materials meet national security education requirements?

Yes. Our facilitators and all materials comply with the National Security Law and the related requirements for national security education.

What does the school need to prepare?

A projector and microphone for talks. Depending on the workshop, a computer room, laptops or tablets and internet access. We confirm this with the teacher in charge beforehand.
