Computational thinking (CT) is an essential skill for children in the 21st century, as it fosters problem-solving abilities crucial for navigating daily life challenges. In today’s world, technologies such as Coding, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are key drivers of innovation, efficiency, and transformation across all industries. These technologies not only empower individuals with skills for the future job market but also play a vital role in shaping a digitally connected global community. This project, a collaborative initiative between the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST), seeks to enhance the computational skills of students in ASEAN Mekong countries and the Republic of Korea. Through learning opportunities in coding, IoT, and AI, the project aims to equip the next generation with the essential skills needed to thrive in a technology-driven world and contribute to regional digital innovation.
