Tech for Kids Breakthrough is a 6 weeks program that is prepared by Tech for Kids Academy with full support from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MoEYS) for students who are the age of 13 - 18 years old. This program is created for the purpose of encouraging students' participation in science and design by creating a 90 seconds video of explanations about interesting scientific ideas that are complicated in a very simple way and prepared for global submission. The goal is not to establish scientists or students who will come up with new theories, but rather for them to come up with a creative way to understand concepts/theories and spark their interest in science. At Tech for Kids Breakthrough, students come here to learn, think outside the box, and implement. The topics that are chosen from the global stage are Physics, Mathematics, and Life Science.

Kid-KATHON (Kid + HACKATHON) is a 1 and half day sprint-like event for students who are 12-15 years old initiated by Tech for Kids Academy with exclusive sponsor from Smart Axiata under the purpose of encouraging students’ participation in solving existing global and local issues through technology. The goal is not to establish a perfectly coded or professionally developed product and service, but rather for them to come up with an implementable solution to tackle the issued-theme. At Kid-KATHON, kids come here to learn, think outside the box, initiate, and implement. The topic theme will be chosen under the framework of UN SDG and relevant topics under Cambodia’s SDG are also highly encouraged to choose from. The objective is to provide passionate children with the opportunity to collaborate, think critically, perform under pressure and to be aware of the world’s existing problems. In addition, the event also aims to serve as a platform for kids to express their passion through technology, innovation, and establish a debugging mindset.
