Youth & AI education

50+youth already impacted.

We teach young people from Hong Kong's ethnically diverse communities to use and build with AI. Participants work on problems from their own neighbourhoods, with tools they can keep using after the event ends.

Two Saturdays, open to ages 12–28, no coding experience required. Teams used the same AI tools we use in our own work; every team presented its solution to the room, and all three outcome targets were met.

How we run it舉辦方式

Programmes

Three ways we run it.

01

Design-thinking workshops

Young people define a problem from their own community, then use AI tools to vibe-code a working prototype, not just a slide deck, and test it with real users. The format at the core of our hackathon.

02

Connect Co-Creation Hackathon

Two Saturdays at Dream Impact, ages 12–28. No prior coding experience required: teams use AI tools to prototype real, working solutions. 53 participants against a target of 45.

03

AI literacy & community training

From an introduction to AI assistants through to community safety, including a residential fire-safety training with ILM and FirexFire HK, where every participant used a fire extinguisher.
