FRAMEWORKS
FRAMEWORKS
1. Digital Maker Hub (DMH)
- DMH is a space that enables digital making activities or training for teachers, students, and community.
- DMH is equipped with diverse tools and materials to invent and embark on digital-making projects .
- Champion school needs to select a classroom to be converted into DMH following guidelines given by MDEC.
2. Digital Maker Clubs (DMC)
- DMC are co-curricular clubs that allow interested students to learn digital making skills during co-curricular hours.
- Activities to be conducted in DMC will be based on DMC modules prepared by MDEC.
- Champion schools need to select a minimum of 30 students per club to establish DMC as follows :
- Robotic Club, Computing Club, Videography & Photography Club.
3. Digital Maker Champion Students (Duta Penggerak Digital)
- Selected students will be given the opportunity to learn digital making skills such as coding, robotics as well as design thinking skills to become digital innovators.
- They will be the school’s Change Agents in promoting digital innovation culture in school.
4. Professional Development for School Leaders & Teachers in Computational Thinking & Computer Science Teaching
- To ensure educators’ readiness in producing digital innovator students, teachers will be trained by experts in :
- Computational Thinking (CT) and Computer Science Teaching.
- Handling equipment in Digital Maker Hub (DMH).
- School leaders will be trained and coached by IAB on CT & integrating technology effectively in T&L.
5. Participation in digital making competition
- Students from Champion School will be mentored to participate in digital making competitions to provide exposure and build students’ confidence in becoming a digital innovator.
- Young Innovator Challenge, Petrosains, National Robotic Competition, Digital Ninja, etc.
6. Awareness on digital innovation
- Campaign on digital making activities to be conducted by Digital Maker Champion Student to create the culture of digital innovation in schools.
- School counsellors will also be trained on promoting digital tech career in digital economy such as Data Scientist, Artificial Intelligence Engineer, Crowdfunding Specialist.
