    This 8-month programme involves comprehensive lessons on computational thinking, problem-solving, coding, presentation and design thinking skills using open source software and compatible hardware such as Micro:bit<\/p>

    Students have enrolled in competitions such as the Robotics-Open Design category at Penang International Science Fair in 2019, BBC Micro:bit Do Your Bit Global Challenge and community exhibition. Since its inception, we have empowered 51 girls and hope to reach out to more students.<\/p>
