Course Outline

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 an essential skill for everyone – not just people 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 pieces. It also includes learning abstraction, which is seeing the bigger picture from minute details.

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.

What is your average class size?

Most of 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.

Can students cope with the long hours?

Definitely. Our classes are well-paced with activities in between to ensure that all our students are able to follow along. On top of that, there is also a 10-minute break every hour to ensure they get off-screen time to rest and refresh themselves. Students are also encouraged to bring their own snacks.

Are there any pre-requisites for the coding classes?

Yes, it differs for each programme. Do check the pre-requisites carefully before signing up.

Is lunch provided during the full day camp?

Yes. Please indicate your child's allergies and dietary requirements during registration. Students will be informed of the lunch menu at the start of class and orders will be taken then. Students will dine at the restaurant itself and lunchtime will be fully supervised by our teachers.

What is the difference between the 2 Full-Day Camp and 5 days x 2 hour lessons for P101 Scratch 1/P102 Scratch 2? I am unsure of which format to pick.

We run classes in different formats to cater to varying needs of students. There is no difference in the content covered and the materials are exactly the same. Parents may choose according to what suits their schedules best.
