Sharing and Solution Day for the "IT Innovation Lab in Schools Programme" on 6 September 2025
The “IT Innovation Lab in Secondary Schools” Programme and the “Knowing More About IT” Programme are set to conclude by the end of the 2025/26 school year. Schools must submit their final funding applications by 30 September 2025 to ensure the applications would be approved before the end of programmes. This deadline allows sufficient time for schools to plan and implement the proposed activities. All approved activities must be completed on or before 31 August 2026 (i.e. the end of 2025/26 school year).
To facilitate schools in the application of funding from the two programmes, the Digital Policy Office (DPO), in collaboration with the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited (Cyberport), will jointly organise the “Sharing and Solution Day for the IT Innovation Lab in Schools Programme” on 6 September 2025 afternoon for secondary and primary school principals and teachers. Around ten start-ups/ technology companies from Cyberport will share their innovative solutions for information technology (IT) related extra-curricular activities (ECAs), and exhibition booths will also be set up for more in-depth understanding about the solutions.
In addition, DPO has also invited four representatives from two secondary and two primary schools to share their experiences in funding application and activities conducted to facilitate schools’ preparation of funding applications and planning of ECAs. Besides, a short briefing about the end of programme arrangement will be delivered on that day.
