Digital Creativity & Computing

Shrewsbury Bangkok City Campus prioritises fostering a generation of creative thinkers and problem-solvers by deeply integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) with Digital Literacy and Computing and Design & Technology (D&T) throughout the curriculum. This innovative approach equips students with the skills they need to not only understand the world around them but also actively shape it through digital creation and design thinking.

Digital Literacy and Computing: Building the Foundation

• Digital Creativity Strands: From a young age, students delve into various digital tools like creative coding and game design, exploring how to create interactive experiences.
• STEAM Inventions: These project-based courses utilise tools like the MicroBit invention kit and Microsoft Makecode, encouraging students to explore human-computer interaction and build their own inventions.
• Focus on Critical Thinking: Digital literacy goes beyond technical skills. The curriculum emphasises critical thinking, enabling students to evaluate online information, identify bias, and be responsible digital citizens.
• Multimedia Communication: Students gain expertise in creating compelling presentations, films, and animations, allowing them to effectively communicate their ideas in a digital age.
• Building Confidence: By learning to use technology effectively and responsibly, students gain confidence in their digital abilities, preparing them for lifelong learning and success in a technology-driven world.

Design & Technology: A Cornerstone of Innovation

• Global Recognition: Shrewsbury City Campus is the first school in Thailand and the first junior/primary school globally to deliver the DEC programme, highlighting their commitment to innovative D&T education.
• Early Exposure: D&T starts as early as Year 1, where students develop basic construction skills and tool safety.
• Project-based Learning: D&T lessons are project-based, encouraging students to apply design thinking and problem-solving to real-world challenges. The Design Engineer Construct (DEC) programme in Year 6 even immerses students in the built environment, giving them a glimpse into careers in construction.
• Cutting-edge Technology: The D&T Innovation Suite features the latest tools, like 3D printers and robotics (VEX Robotics), allowing students to bring their designs to life.
• Focus on Sustainability: D&T teacher, a qualified Educate Sustainability Teacher, integrates sustainability principles into projects, encouraging students to be responsible innovators.
