Jockey Club launches JC GoAI project to supprot AI education

The Hong Kong Jockey Club launched the JC GoAI project to bolster AI education in upper primary and junior secondary schools on Thursday, benefiting more than 100,000 students.

Co-created with the Chinese University of Hong Kong and supported by more than HK$255 million in funding from Jockey Club's charities trust, the 4.5‑year JC GoAI initiative is designed to provide systematic, multi‑faceted support for AI education and build essential AI literacy among students. 

The project is expected to reach 300 primary and secondary schools and benefit over 100,000 students, providing professional training for around 2,200 teachers as well as educational activities to support more than 11,000 parents. 

Besides, the programme aims to help students learn creatively, effectively and responsibly, empowering students to apply technology across disciplines and better preparing them for the demands of future workplaces and the evolving needs of society.

Henry Chan, the Club Steward, said at the launch ceremony that this project will integrate AI learning elements across school subjects and to help teachers make effective use of AI in their teaching, thereby promoting high‑quality digital education.
