Summary: As AI becomes a cornerstone of modern schooling, The Salvation Army Tin Ka Ping School is pioneering a tiered approach that prioritizes cognitive development over simple tool usage. For junior students, the focus remains on building "domain knowledge" and logical foundations through traditional means—specifically the game of Go. By using this ancient board game to teach pattern recognition and problem-solving, the school avoids early screen dependency while sharpening the computational thinking skills necessary to navigate future technologies.
As students progress to higher grades, the curriculum transitions into systematic AI integration through the "Jockey Club AI for Future" project. Here, the emphasis shifts from "using" AI to "understanding" its mechanics and ethical implications. By treating AI as a "teammate" rather than a shortcut, the school ensures that students remain the masters of the technology, using it to drive innovation and solve community problems while maintaining a strong foundation in digital literacy and academic integrity.
