With the ongoing innovation, it has become imperative for the young generation to understand the basics of digital language and technology. To equip youth with critical tech skills, Samsung has been offering IT education to teenagers around the world through Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC).

Coding and programming at home

Pabhawarin, Chisanupong, and Chanudom are three of 55 Thai junior high schoolers that met for the first time online for SIC. Although the pandemic redesigned the program as an online class, the three excelled in the 75-hour training and interacted with their instructors and friends through digital courses.

Finding technologies in daily life

Learning from the ground up, the students first studied the basics of technology and its impact on our lives. They then learned how to code and program in coding languages. Coding and programming can be seen as difficult, but their approach to learning the digital language was special.

“Samsung Innovation Campus allows me to understand technology and is useful in everyday situations,” said Pabhawarin. Chisanupong could also relate to the evolution of technology and its impact on his life. He realized that a lot of everyday situations like using social media or games are related to coding. He said, “After studying for a few more years, I want to develop a program to help people find any items they have lost.”

Building the confidence to dream

For others like Chanudom, SIC reassured their dream of working in IT. “Becoming a computer engineer is my dream. SIC makes me more confident in preparing myself for the many innovations of the future.”

The strong foundation at Samsung Innovation Campus will help the students extend and explore their interests in higher levels. At Samsung, we hope that they are encouraged at full power to become the young innovators of the future.
