Project Manager (JCCP)

Jockey Club 'CoolPlay' Project Phase 2 is generously funded by a HK$64 million donation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. The project aims to ignite a passion for STEM learning in young children, setting the stage for future STEM education. Through our focus on play and exploration, we aim to enrich children's learning interests, learning attitudes (including resilience), and skills (including observing and predicting). This endeavour will be supported by a growing community of specially trained educators and experts, engaged parents, as well as the passionate community. With our internationally recognised STEM learning resource kit - JumpStarter, we make exploration easily accessible for everyone.
