Space has three dimensions. In C3 Space, the three dimensions are defined by: Computing x Creativity x Collaboration. Our aim is to foster students’ computational thinking, creative thinking and collaborative thinking to create virtual startups called “C-cubes”. C3 Space is also driven by the CARES model for computing education with aim of enhancing student learning and development, and realizing their potential. In Chinese, C3 Space is translated as 思橋共作空間 - “thinking bridge” to seek realizing student dreams.

CARES Model

Inspired by the CARES model, students are encouraged to set up virtual companies (startups) with computing projects to realize their dreams.
