Inventive Minds, Big Tech Dreams
The Gabrielite Digital Literacy Programme (GDLP) empowers our Primary 3 Gabrielites to become confident digital learners and creative problem-solvers in an increasingly connected world. Through hands-on experiences with Scratch coding and Micro:bits, students explored block-based programming while bringing their ideas to life through lights, sounds, sensors, and robotic components.
Working collaboratively in teams, students applied design thinking to solve real-world challenges, strengthening important 21st-century competencies such as critical thinking, communication, creativity, and collaboration. The engaging lessons also nurtured resilience and adaptability as students experimented, refined ideas, and learned from one another.
Anchored on the theme “Smart and Sustainable Nation – Homes and Schools”, the programme inspires students to harness technology responsibly and innovatively to improve everyday living. Through GDLP, our Gabrielites are growing into future-ready learners who are digitally confident, inventive, and ready to make meaningful contributions to a smart and sustainable future.
Design, Build and Innovate Together
In the Primary 5 Gabrielite Digital Literacy Programme (GDLP), our Gabrielites deepened their digital literacy skills through exciting hands-on experiences in physical computing and innovation. Using Boson kits, LEGO components, and coding platforms, students designed, prototyped, and programmed functional solutions to address real-world community challenges.
Guided by the design thinking process, students collaborated in teams to brainstorm ideas, test prototypes, and refine their creations. Through this iterative learning journey, they developed resilience, systems thinking, and adaptability while learning to communicate ideas effectively and work collaboratively with others.
Anchored on the theme “Smart and Sustainable Nation – Community”, the programme encourages students to harness technology creatively and responsibly to improve the lives of others. Through this Applied Learning Programme (ALP), our Gabrielites strengthened key 21st-century competencies such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and inventive thinking, growing into future-ready learners who are prepared to navigate and contribute meaningfully to a rapidly evolving digital world.
