Course Outline

It’s never too early to build foundations.

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution is approaching, coding skills are more essential than ever in giving your children a competitive advantage. Python is a powerful language, widely used in companies like Google and Amazon Web Services. At the same time, it's also an excellent starting point for younger learners who are new to programming because of its relative simplicity.

We understand that learning a new programming language — or transitioning from Scratch to Python — can feel daunting for any child. Through fun and engaging themes such as children’s movies, we introduce coding in real-world contexts. From BMI calculators to health advisors, students create programmes that are relevant to their everyday lives, making coding concepts easier to grasp and far more memorable.

What will you learn in this course?

Introduction to various data types
Syntax of conditional operators
String manipulation
Real-world applications for programmes
Logical operators and truth tables

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.
