Project ACE is an afterschool coding program at SMK Taman Sejahtera aimed at improving students' English literacy, coding knowledge, numeracy skills, and interest in STEM careers. Its goals are to develop students' computational thinking, problem solving, teamwork, and perseverance skills. Activities include biweekly coding classes using Scratch and ExploringCS, factory visits, workshops, and specializations in areas like robotics and software development. Challenges include sustainability, funding, and the need for more mentors. Key learnings highlighted students' interest in hands-on making and breaking of projects, the teacher's facilitator role, and that students can excel given opportunities rather than limitations.

The Lehigh-KEEN (Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network) initiative is a comprehensive multi-phased initiative to revolutionize engineering education by integrating 1) entrepreneurial mindset learning (EML), with 2) engineering skillset development, within 3) our entrepreneurial education ecosystem. KEEN focuses on student development of the many KEEN C’s including reawakening Creative Curiosity, seeking Collaborative Connections, and Creating personal, business and social value. In this partnership Lehigh faculty are still responsible for 1) engineering skillset development including the ability to Model, Make and Measure engineering systems and components, and 2) the innovation education ecosystem, including resources, habitat and culture to allow entrepreneurship education to flourish.

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a triennial international survey which aims to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students.
In 2015 over half a million students, representing 28 million 15-year-olds in 72 countries and economies, took the internationally agreed two-hour test. Students were assessed in science, mathematics, reading, collaborative problem solving and financial literacy.
The PPTs provide methods to narrow the gaps between engineering education and industry through Science, technology, economics, management, and fire-fighting. Fire-fighting refers to continuous upgrading of the engineering programs based on the advancements of industrial practices.
The research and development of new and improved services, systems, and products is an important driver for the European market. Innovation requires people that can interact in innovation teams, innovative and new ideas, crea-tive environments supporting the creation of innovation, and innovation pro-cesses that support the entire chain from idea creation to the implementation of an innovation project. Innovation is intimately linked with entrepreneur-ship. Ideas, Innovation and Entrepreneurship are considered the keys to a wealthy and sustainable economy [1], [3], [5], [6], [8]. The InnoTEACH pro-ject empowers the innovation mind-set in the European Union by establish-ing learning environments in schools which fertilize the grounds for young people to apply innovation principles in problem solving and learning about entrepreneurship concepts at the same time. This paper presents “InnoTEACH”, a European project that transfers the innovation best practic-es from industry to the education and certification of school teachers.

Youth unemployment of 11%.
ICT careers among top 5 n demand
Digital divide between rural and urban, educated and uneducated, global level, competitive job market. We are talking about teaching people to create content rather than consume content. UK has begun teaching coding to all students starting this year, and Singapore is undertaking feasibility study to incorporate coding into their curriculum.
Right now there are no countries yet in the world that has begun rolling out coding classes in a national level. But UK, starting this year, England will become the first country to mandate computer programming in primary and secondary schools. Singapore is currently undertaking a feasibility study to roll out coding to Singaporean schools.
Estonia has begun training their teachers to be ready to roll out coding education in school since two years ago. Do bear in mind that Estonia is actually widely regarded the more tech savvy with close to 78% population connected to the web. And an interesting fact, on the PISA ranking test, Estonia is ranked 11 in math and 12 in problem solving. However,
