N2 - To foster new generations becoming creators of technology, CoolThink@JC (“Computational Thinking Education,” n.d.), a four-year project sponsored by Jockey Club Charities Trust in Hong Kong, aims to advocating that “computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone” (Wing, 2006, p.33). The project targets to upper primary school students, and in that parent education is one of the components. Particularly, parent education focuses on parent-child relationship in learning computational thinking. Thus, we propose several approaches involving coding hands-on workshop, instructional video learning and unplugged activities to enhance the parent-child mode of learning in a large-scale project involving 32 primary schools in Hong Kong.
