Introduction

CIO Maker School makes technical stuff easy and fun for students 7-12 years old! CIO’s teaching method is based on the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) approach. We focus on helping students to learn how to solve problems through project work.

The CIO teaching team is a group of optimistic, empathetic and passionate professionals who specialize in “digital maker” education for children. The goal of CIO (Creativity and Innovation Optimist) is to provide educational projects that benefit society and the environment. Through "design thinking", "hands-on activities" and "experience sharing," everyone can realize their potential to design, and create original solutions to build a better world.

Program Highlights:

• Logical analysis: Develop observation and problem solving skills by collaborating with peers to work through different challenges.

• Design thinking: Learn to solve problems through creative design and using different tools and materials to develop solutions.

• Story-telling: Learn to think thoroughly and share design concepts through active story-telling.

Tree House 小小建築師－圓頂樹屋

Have you ever dreamed of building your own cozy treehouse? 🌿

In this camp, children will design their dream space — from furniture layout and secret mechanisms to circuit arrangements. Working together with teammates and guided by our coaches, they will share ideas, collaborate, and bring their unique treehouse to life!

Through STEAM-based learning, they’ll explore structure design and creative decoration, blending nature and technology in their own imaginative way. ✨

想過打造一座屬於自己的圓頂樹屋嗎？🌿

我們將帶領孩子們一起思考小屋中的傢俱、機關與電路配置，透過小夥伴之間的創意激發，與教練一同討論、分享與創作，動手打造出獨一無二的夢幻樹屋。結合 STEAM 教育，學習結構設計與創意裝飾，讓自然與科技在孩子的想像中完美融合！
