  • Facilitator : Mr. Kingsley Cheng  
  • Workshop time: 60 mins
  • Cost : Free

The Hour of Code HK initiative was launched by a group of passionate volunteers, parents, and students in 2014, and we offer free, non-profit, F2F and online workshops to the Hong Kong general public to raise the awareness of HK citizens about computational thinking and coding. In this 1-hr workshop, we will use the popular coding
language, Python, coding platform, Replit, and coding repository, Github, to create a complete coding project. This lesson will be moderated by Dr. Ray, PhD in Imperial College London in Computing, and instructed by Kingsley, Grade 4, Diocesan Boys’ School Primary Division, Gold Awardee in the HK International Computational Olympiad
in 2020.
Our goals are:
1) Everyone Can Code: Promote Citywide free coding lessons to citizens of all ages, all genders, and all walks of life in Hong Kong; 
2) Learn from each other: Connect people who want to learn coding and people who want to teach coding in Hong Kong;
3) Train the Trainer: experienced Hour of Code HK volunteers can become teaching assistants or lesson instructors who can teach other students;
4) Enhancing Parent-child harmony: Parents and children can develop new coding skills and learn technology together, in order to increase mutual communication.
We welcome everyone at all age who is interested to learn the 3rd global language in the future to join our session.

Dr. Ray Chak-Chung Cheung received the B.Eng.(Hons) and M.Phil. degrees in computer engineering and computer science & engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 1999 and 2001 respectively, and the DIC and Ph.D. degree in computing from Imperial College London (IC) in 2007.
He joined the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2002 as an Instructor. Before that, he worked as a system administrator in a parallel cluster computing company, Cluster Technology Limited for one year. Two years later in 2004, he received the Hong Kong Croucher Foundation Scholarship and moved to London where he spent three years for his Ph.D. study. He was with Stanford University and UCLA in the summer of 2005 and 2006 as a visiting scholar. After completing his Ph.D. study, he received the Hong Kong Croucher Foundation Fellowship and moved to Los Angeles, in the Electrical Engineering department at UCLA, where he spent two years for continuing his research work. In 2008, he took a 6-month internship at a top IC design company in Hong Kong, Solomon-Systech Limited as a senior digital IC designer. In 2009, he visited the PALMS group in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University as a visiting research fellow before returning to Hong Kong.
