Programme Overview

For Ages 7 to 9

Give your child a technological edge.

We believe in encouraging children to become 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, which involves focusing on essential information while leaving out unnecessary 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 maximum class size?

Our classes have a maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:8. 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 the student is absent for medical reasons, please email specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg at least two weeks before the class they will miss so that arrangements for a replacement class can be made. Depending on the number of lesson hours missed, your child may attend replacement classes or have their registration transferred to the same course at another location or time slot. Replacement classes may be held online or in person at Coding Lab’s campuses (KAP Mall or Parkway Parade).

Are there any prerequisites for the coding classes?

Yes, the prerequisites differ for each programme. Please check them carefully before signing up.

What if a student has attended a coding class previously? Can he or she still attend your coding class?

For classes with prerequisites, the student may need to complete a placement test so that we can assess his or her foundational knowledge, as the curriculum offered by other providers may differ. We want to ensure that every student who comes to our class benefits and learns. Hence, it is vital that your child is enrolled in the right course to provide them with the right level of challenge.

Please write to 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 yet available. What should I do?

We understand the challenges you face in planning your child’s holiday schedule. Go ahead and sign up to secure a place, then email us at specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg. We will try our best to accommodate requests to change time slots, subject to availability.
