Programme Overview

For Ages 7 to 9

Give your child a technological edge.

We believe in engaging children as thinkers and creators through hands-on, project-based learning. Coding is increasingly recognised as an essential skill for everyone—not just those who aspire to be programmers or computer scientists. This is because coding develops computational thinking, a skill that knows no age limit.

Computational thinking involves solving problems efficiently by breaking them down into more manageable parts. It also includes learning abstraction—the ability to see the bigger picture while understanding fine details.

Course Outline

We have designed a curriculum that introduces computational thinking at an age-appropriate level. After mastering the fundamentals of Scratch, students are encouraged to explore the limits of their imagination. They will take part in their first-ever hackathon, where they will combine characters and functions to create games, stories, or animations of their choice.

Register 14 days prior to the programme start date to enjoy a 5% early bird discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

About P101 Scratch 1

What is the average class size?

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

What do students need to bring to class?

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

What if a student misses a class? Is there a replacement class 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, prerequisites vary by programme. Please review the stated prerequisites carefully before registering.

What if my child has attended a coding class previously? Can he or she still join this programme?

For programmes with prerequisites, students may be required to complete a placement test. This allows us to assess their foundation, as curricula offered by other providers may differ. Our aim is to ensure that every student is placed in a course that offers the appropriate level of challenge and support.

Please write to specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg if you have any questions.

I would like to sign up but am unable to confirm the time slot as the school holiday schedule has not been released. What should I do?

We understand the challenges of planning your child’s holiday schedule. You may proceed to register to secure a place and email us at specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg. We will do our best to accommodate requests for time slot changes, subject to availability.
