Completed Scratch 2? In this research area, our Young Computer Scientists will explore hardware programming using the BBC Micro:bit, a compact computer that seamlessly integrates software and hardware. They'll discover how to program the Micro:bit, transforming it into a versatile LED display board, compass, countdown timer, and even a platform for interactive games like reaction time challenges or rock-paper-scissors.

What is your average class size?

Most of our classes have a 1:8 teacher-to-student ratio, except classes for students aged 13–18, which have a 1:10 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, 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 a week is required prior to missing the class in order for arrangements for a replacement class to be made. We strongly recommend students to attend a physical replacement class within the week (i.e. Thursdays at United Square or Fridays at Seletar Mall). Otherwise, students will attend an online replacement class to make up for the lesson missed.

Are there any prerequisites for the coding classes?

Yes, it differs for each programme. Do check the prerequisites carefully before signing up.

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

The student may need to complete a placement test as we will need to assess his or her foundation level as the curriculum offered by other avenues may be different. 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.

What if I have done P101/P201 before? Can my child still sign up for the whole term?

We recommend that you sign up mid-term and enrol for P102 and P202 respectively.
