Introduction
This program is to empower secondary school students (Form 2–Form 6) with the knowledge and skills to apply artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and data science in solving real-world social challenges. Through hands-on projects in areas like healthcare, environmental sustainability, and disaster response, the program fosters innovation, critical thinking, and practical impact—while inspiring interest in STEM and AI-related careers.
