To tie in with the Chief Executive’s proposal in the 2024 Policy Address for continuously promoting STEAM education in primary and secondary schools, including supporting teachers in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching, the Education Bureau (EDB) continues to enhance information technology education and promote the close integration of innovation and technology (including AI) with education. We are now launching a pilot programme in junior secondary Science, to support schools in integrating AI into learning and teaching, thereby strengthening AI education.
The “AI for Science Education” Funding Programme is supported by the Quality Education Fund. For the details of the programme, please refer to EDBCM No. 227/2024.
(Note: Application of the Programme was closed.)
Enhance science teachers’ capacity in AI-assisted teaching, encourage schools to arrange for teachers to participate in professional development programmes and conduct trial lessons, thereby promoting pedagogical innovations and enhancing students’ learning effectiveness.
Teachers may refer to the examples shown on this website for the pedagogical applications of AI in Science (S1-3).
Successful applicant schools will receive a one-off funding of $100,000.
Schools participating in the Funding Programme must commit to fulfilling the following requirements:
