Students today are under-equipped to work in the digital economy. Knowledge and skills taught in traditional curricula are insufficient, and purchasing professional tools is a financial burden.
Working with world-class industry professionals and software developers, Krystal Institute brings employable skills and free, open-source software to the classroom. Our students pick up tangible skills from a diverse range of DECT workshops that are project-based and experiential. Site visits with our industry partners expose students to the applications of DECT in professional settings.
Our courses cover exciting themes such as Animated Arts, Virtual Worlds, Metaverse, Maker Series, and Digital “ABCD”. Graduates from our courses receive certification under our DECT Global Series curriculum, which is recognized by our industry and academic networks in the Greater Bay Area.
Meets Education Bureau requirements
Our curriculum is an ideal fit to meet the OLE, ECA, ASA requirements set by the Hong Kong Education Bureau. Our workshops span across the required themes of: Moral and Civic Education, Career-related Experiences, Aesthetic Development.
Completing DECT courses grant each student academic credits under Krystal Institute’s Qualification Framework, designed for students who have not yet gained work experience. These credits are transferable towards Diploma-level and Degree-level qualifications jointly offered by Krystal Institute and affiliated universities worldwide. Credit and qualification holders automatically become part of the Krystal membership network and gain access to our active online learning community. Learn more about our qualification framework and exclusive membership services and benefits on our website, https://krystal.institute.
Fun, Activity-based Format
Our courses and workshops offer experiential programs to inspire students’ interests in Digital Economy Core Technology themes. Students explore projects that challenge them to be creative, analytical, and methodical in their approach. By using open-source digital tools such as Blender and Python, students leave our workshops owning the tools that they have now gained experience in, and are empowered to explore their diverse interests further independently.
