Cultivate digital literacy through Transformative Coding Workshop
KOTA KINABALU: In an effort to promote digital literacy and innovation within the education sector, Tenom Innovation Centre (TIC) accepted the cordial proposal by the Sabah State Education Department (JPN Sabah) for a workshop titled “Bengkel Asas Kemahiran Penggunaan Coding dalam Inovasi Pembudayaan Digital.”
The workshop, held on February 6 from 8 am to 5 pm, aimed to introduce the basics of coding and its application in fostering digital culture.
The program was facilitated by members of the Tenom Innovation Centre, including two PPD Tenom officers, two teachers, alongside four student mentors: Syazwi, Ivan, Rowena and Maximiliane. Their combined expertise ensured an engaging and informative learning experience for the participants.
Among the workshop participants were 14 officers from JPN Sabah and 24 Innovation Coordinators from 24 PPDs across Sabah. The diverse group of attendees reflected a collective commitment to advancing digital literacy within the state’s education framework.
Throughout the workshop, participants engaged in handson activities such as the “Hour of Code” and exploring the functionalities of the Microbit, a pocket-sized programmable computer. These interactive sessions provided practical insights into the world of coding and its potential to enhance digital innovation.
By bringing together educators, administrators, and innovators, the workshop facilitated knowledge exchange and collaboration towards integrating coding skills into educational practices.
Tenom Innovation Centre and the Sabah State Education Department are committed to continuing such initiatives to equip the next generation with essential digital skills for the future.
