Message from the British Consul General to Hong Kong and Macao Hello Everyone, 大家好!
I’m delighted to welcome you to the 2021
Learning & Teaching Expo in Hong Kong – this year we are excited to be back as an in-person event, where it’s all about showcasing fresh possibilities as we reimagine the future in the wake of COVID-19. The UK Department for International Trade (DIT) is proud to support the Expo. We have partnered with UK suppliers to present to you the UK Pavilion at the Learning & Teaching Expo with a packed programme of exciting workshops and demonstrations.
The UK has an outstanding reputation for excellence in education and skills. From school and university study in the UK and English language teaching overseas, to exports of educational learning and teaching resources, equipment and software. The UK education supplies sector is also widely recognised as being at the forefront of innovation. School closures due to COVID-19 are affecting learners worldwide. The disruption has imposed a fundamental shift in the mode of delivery in schools, from traditional face-to-face provision to online learning, creating substantial opportunities for Edtech companies. UK businesses have become world leaders in developing and bringing 2
to market innovative and world leading education technology supporting, for example education administration, reduction of teacher workload, student and community engagement, excellent teaching and student attainment. Our educational suppliers are constantly developing high quality, effective and innovative ways to meet the needs of learners today and tomorrow. The DIT Education Team will be on hand throughout the Expo to answer any questions and hear about your experiences in implementing technology. Whether you are an educator, Edtech supplier, policy maker or someone who is simply interested in this area, please come visit us for a chat (we will be on stand R01).
Feel free to drop by and chat with the team. I hope that this important event will provide a platform for the exchange of ideas that will help meet the needs of the growing education market here in Hong Kong.

British Consul-General to Hong Kong and Macao Learning & Teaching Expo 2021
Message from Bailey Communications Hong Kong It is our pleasure to welcome visitors and delegates to the UK Pavilion at Learning & Teaching Expo and the Asia-Pacific International Schools Conference. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the global education landscape. Due to sustained class suspension, distance learning and eLearning solutions have overnight become the new normal. The need for online education solutions for educators, parents, students and life-long learners has never been more urgent. Educators are seeing and using the benefits of online education and it is clear that new learning technology is here to stay.
UK education companies have been at the forefront of this rapid technological change and UK designed educational solutions will be on display at Learning & Teaching Expo 2021. We would encourage you to spend time seeing the UK
Learning & Teaching Expo 2021
educational products on the UK Pavilion. The show will bring together and examine the effects of the pandemic on education and all that has changed for the future of both teaching and learning. Over 270 free programmes, including seminars, open lessons and hands on workshops, will be hosted by more than 300 local and overseas education professionals. We are very grateful for the support that both BESA and the UK Department for International Trade have provided the UK companies at Learning & Teaching Expo 2021. Enjoy the Show

3D modelling, computer programming and robotics technology has established itself as an important tools and technologies in many engineering applications. With Marty the Robot students are able to use free online 3D modelling software (such as Tinkercad) to draw 3D models, and then use a 3D printer to print out the accessories from Marty the Robot. In addition, Marty the Robot is compatible with micro:bit, making students’ learning more diverse. Can you grow hedgehogs from other metal salts? What are anthocyanins and what do we use them for? Join us to find out! Raspberry Pi enables coding skills to be delivered in more accessible, cost-effective, and fun ways to encourage children to learn. It uses existing technology – chips from mobile phones – to build low-cost, basic computers that promote programming in schools.
