Programme Overview

For Ages 10 to 12

The Advanced Computer Scientists programme develops students’ programming skills at an advanced level. Students will explore app creation for both iOS and Android, develop their maker skills through our micro:bit curriculum, and apply advanced concepts in syntax-based programming to create real-world products.

Course Outline

In this programme, students will use Python programming concepts such as string methods, Boolean flags and the random module to create a word-based role-playing game (RPG).

Students will explore game design by examining different outcomes and the logic behind building a game. This involves using planning tools to explore different scenarios and applying if–else logic. Students will then develop their own versions of RPG games, such as a “Pets” RPG where they can play as their favourite animals.

By the end of the programme, students will create a dynamic RPG game with customisable features such as character classes, unique attributes and battle mechanics.

What is your average class size?

Our classes have a 1:8 teacher-to-student 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, 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 absence is due to medical reasons, an email to specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg at least two weeks in advance is required for us to arrange a replacement class.

Depending on the lesson hours missed, you or your child may attend a replacement class or have the registration transferred to the same course at another location or time slot. Replacement classes may be conducted online or in person at Coding Lab’s campuses (KAP Mall / Parkway Parade).

Are there any prerequisites for the coding classes?

Yes, this differs for each programme. Please check the prerequisites carefully before signing up.

What if a student has attended coding classes previously? Can he or she still enrol?

For classes with prerequisites, students may be required to complete a placement test so that we can assess their foundation level, as curricula may differ across providers. We aim to ensure that every student who joins our classes benefits and learns.

It is important that your child is enrolled in a course that provides an appropriate level of challenge. Please contact 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 out. What should I do?

We understand the challenges of planning your child’s holiday schedule. You may proceed to sign up to secure a place and send us an email at specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg. We will do our best to accommodate requests to change time slots, subject to availability.
