In response to the Education Bureau’s launch of the Digital Education Series for professional development, Hong Kong Education City (HKEdCity) is introducing the “Digital Education and AI Professional Training”, working with teachers to explore how digital education can enhance teaching. These two workshops will focus on cybersecurity and AI in education, helping teachers use digital tools safely and enhance teaching quality, and join HKEdCity in shaping a new AI-driven era in education.

Workshop 1: Cybersecurity Workshop — Practical Insights from Government to Campus
