SEED’s cloud computing course offers a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. Our students not only gain a strong foundation in theoretical knowledge, but also have the opportunity to apply what they've learned by building their own cloud-based servers. In addition to the theory, the course features a wide range of hands-on lab exercises and practical assessments. Students are encouraged to use cloud technologies to develop their own websites, which greatly enhances their understanding and sparks genuine interest in the subject. These personal, project-based experiences not only deepen students’ knowledge but also strengthen their problem-solving skills and foster innovation. We've observed that many students have developed a strong interest in pursuing careers related to cloud computing and information technology. As a school teacher, we saw a growing number are choosing ICT-related subjects when applying for university.
