要創意，更需要掌握充份的科技知識。數碼港
銳意激勵千禧年代的創新者，透過激發年輕人
的創造力，鼓勵他們嘗試在科技上創新，向他
們提供必要的技能和知識，以迎戰未來的挑
戰、找出改變遊戲規則、改變世界的方案。為
促進年輕人的創業精神和社區數碼化革新，數
碼港有三個重點：推動年輕人對科技的興趣、
通過體驗式學習構建實戰能力、為將來在科技
相關行業發展或創業做好準備。

明編程學習的重要，亦相信編寫程式是體現創
意和鍛鍊出解難能力的好方法。因應這方面的
需求，數碼港特別舉辦多項編程活動，讓有志
學習編程的年青人學習編程的技巧，透過編寫
程式測試他們的創意想法，將計劃付諸實行。
為進一步展現開創新思維的決心，數碼港成功
舉辦了「數碼港編

Today’s inspiration is tomorrow’s innovation. And
innovation has to be accomplished with creativity and an
understanding of technologies. By harnessing the creativity
and inventiveness of children and young people, by inspiring
them with technology’s possibilities, and empowering them
with the necessary skills and capacity, Cyberport inspires
the next generation of Millenovators (“millennium
innovators”), who will offer game-changing solutions to the
challenges, perhaps for centuries to come. To foster
entrepreneurship and digital innovation in the community,
we have three priorities: spur interest in technology, build
capacity through experiential learning, and gain experience
via technology-related careers and digital entrepreneurship.
Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, said,
“an understanding of computer science is becoming
increasingly essential in today’s world.” Cyberport
understands the importance of learning code and believes
that creating programmes is an excellent way to manifest
creativity and hone problem-solving skills. We have
recognised the need and boosted coding activities for
youngsters to learn to code, test their ideas and realise
visions through programming. The success of Cyberport
Youth Coding Jam 1000 demonstrated our strong
commitment towards this goal. In April 2015, more than
1,000 young coders, aged 6–18, created their futuristic
smart city map by coding collaboratively. It was a delight
watching these young children discover the joy of coding.
They were encouraged to use their creativity and critical
thinking to solve problems, share with their peers, exercise
their imagination and take pride in setting a new world
record for “the Most Youngsters Performing Coding”.
