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.
A curriculum and workshop provider, not just a one-off talk.
We design and deliver AI and digital-literacy programmes for schools and youth organisations, in the same format we've already run for 53+ participants and counting. Book a single session or a full workshop series.
Vibe Coding for Beginners
Students go from an idea to a working prototype using AI coding tools, no prior programming experience needed — the exact format behind our Connect Co-Creation Hackathon.
Social Impact by Design
A design-thinking workshop where students define a real problem from their own community, then prototype and test a response with real users.
AI in Education
A practical session for teachers and students on using AI assistants responsibly in the classroom, and where they still need a human check.
Digital & AI Literacy for All Ages
Foundational digital-safety and AI-literacy training, adaptable for youth or elderly audiences — drawn from the sessions we already run in our own community.
Teams pitched for their own communities.
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.
Three ways we run it.
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.
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.
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.
