PMU-B Cluster Visits “Open Innovation Class” to Support Thailand’s Coding Talent Development

📍 Khon Kaen University Demonstration Primary School (Education Unit C)

🗓️ On February 9, 2023, at 1:50 PM, the PMU-B Cluster Coordination Committee, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rina Patramanon, Chair of the Frontier Technology Cluster and Ms. Jaturaporn Chokphukhiow, Chair of the Frontier SHA/AI Cluster,visited and observed the launch of the Open Innovation Class at Khon Kaen University Demonstration Primary School (Education Faculty, Unit C).

The class is part of a hands-on training and workshop program to enhance teaching competencies in coding education—aimed at nurturing Thailand’s future innovators and digital talent.

With support from CodeCombat (SEA), students engaged in activities that combined real-world problem-solving with coding. One featured challenge: designing and simulating earthquake-resistant buildings, helping students build critical thinking and engineering mindsets.

The lesson concluded with game-based coding in CodeCombat, allowing students to apply structural logic in an interactive, fun learning environment.

This initiative reflects PMU-B’s commitment to strengthening digital skills at the grassroots level and promoting coding as a core competency for Thailand’s next-generation workforce.
