創辦Brainchild的心路歷程
Jimmy Choy 的兒子於十歲某天在學校科技設計課製作了一輛小型太陽能模型車,回家後發現它動不了。經Jimmy檢查後所有零件組裝正確,但模型車就是無法開動!作為一位老師和家長,他感到自己有一股熱切的責任去挽回兒子夢想成為一位偉大發明家的熱忱!他必須找出那輛太陽能模型車的問題所在!因為這個契機,Jimmy於2004年決定放棄講師一職,傾注自己豐富的教學經驗和專業知識,銳意為自己的孩子們提供更多創意教育。他開始專注於利用更多實驗性教學去培育和激發兒童的自信、自尊和創造力。自此,他致力用更多時間去幫助其他眾多兒童。
經過多年在設計、測試和實驗上的演變,Jimmy把最初為了教授孩子們學習電子及機械知識的工作室轉化成為一個啟發兒童無限創意和趣味滿溢的獨有STEM產品實驗和製造場地和空間。從他兒子帶回家那輛無法開動的模型車的經歷到把工作室發展成為能夠提供各式各樣、多不勝數的DIY 專案計劃的獨一無二教學模式,Jimmy Choy多年來注入的源源動力是Brainchild得以成功的關鍵!
The story behind Brainchild
When Jimmy Choy's son was 10 years old, he brought home a small solar car that he had made in his Design and Technology class at school. It didn't work. Jimmy reviewed the instructions and checked that all the components were correctly assembled, it still would not move. As a teacher and a parent, he felt a desperate responsibility to salvage his son's enthusiasm to be a great inventor. He had to figure out what was wrong with the solar car. Jimmy decided in 2004 that it was time to give up his work as a lecturer. Drawing on a wealth of educational experience and expertise, he wanted to provide additional creative education for his children. He began to focus on developing more stimulating experiential education programs for children that would cultivate their creativity, confidence and self-esteem. He has since dedicated his time to helping numerous children.
The evolution of designing and experimenting with various components occurred over several years. Jimmy transformed his workshop. Initially set up to teach his children and their friends about electronics, it soon evolved into an experimental manufacturing hub for interesting solar products targeted at educating children in a creative and fun way. From the small solar car his son brought home that didn't work to an extensive selection of do-it-yourself projects, Jimmy Choy has been the driving force behind making Brainchild Ltd. successful.
