Programme Overview

For Ages 7 to 9

Give your child a technological edge.

We believe in engaging children to be thinkers and creators through hands-on and project-based learning. Coding is increasingly recognised as an essential skill for everyone – not just those who aspire to be programmers and computer scientists. This is because it teaches computational thinking, which knows no age limit. Computational thinking is about solving problems efficiently by breaking them down into more manageable parts. It also includes learning abstraction, seeing the bigger picture from minute details.

Course Outline

We have designed a curriculum that introduces computational thinking at an age-appropriate level. After mastering the basics of Scratch, we encourage our students to explore the limits of their imagination. They’ll be tasked with their first-ever hackathon, where they have to put together characters and functions to create games, stories or animations of their choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

About P101 Scratch 1

What is your average class size?

Our classes have a 1:8 teacher-to-student ratio. We keep our classes small so that every student benefits from personalised attention.

What do students need to bring to class?

We provide all equipment for the classes. Students just need to bring stationery, a water bottle and a jacket in case it gets cold.

What if a student misses a class? Is there a class replacement policy?

Unless absent for medical reasons, a communication lead time via email to specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg of at least two weeks is required prior to missing the class in order for arrangements for a replacement class to be made.

Depending on the hours of lesson missed, you/your child may attend our replacement classes or have your/your child's registration transferred to the same course at another location / timing.

Replacement classes may be held online or in-person at Coding Lab's campuses (KAP Mall / Parkway Parade).

Are there any prerequisites for the coding classes?

Yes, this differs for each programme. Please check the prerequisites carefully before signing up.

What if a student has attended a coding class previously? Can they still attend your coding class?

For classes with prerequisites, students may be required to complete a placement test so that we can assess their foundation level, as curricula may differ across providers. We aim to ensure that every student benefits and learns. It is important that your child is enrolled in a course that provides an appropriate level of challenge.

Please contact us at specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg if you have any questions.

I want to sign up but am unable to confirm the time slot as the school holiday schedule is not out. What should I do?

We understand the challenges of planning your child’s holiday schedule. You may proceed to sign up to secure a place and send us an email at specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg. We will do our best to accommodate requests to change time slots, subject to availability.
