Programme Overview

For Ages 10 to 12

Dive into mobile application development

With technologies like 5G and the Internet of Things seeing an uptick, mobile application development has all but boomed. There is an increasing need for applications in areas like communication, education, health, finance and more. Give your child a chance to look beneath the surface at how popular applications like Instagram, TikTok and Telegram are constructed. Using the MIT App Inventor platform, we’ll guide your children through an entire mobile app development journey. And yes, they do create their very own fully functional app at the end of the course!

Course Outline

We are always looking out for the next generation of technology innovators that seeks to better the world in our classes. The MIT App Inventor allows children to make real-world, significant impacts with their apps. Some examples include apps that show communities where to access safe drinking water, teach a language, or even apps that contribute to lowering crime rates. Our own students have even created apps that monitor and improve passenger safety in the context of the growing ride-hailing industry!

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.
