What is coding/programming and why do kids need to learn it?

Coding or programming involves writing a set of instructions for a computer device to carry out a specific task. It is everywhere from our phones to the traffic lights system. The world is moving at a fast rate to the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in which technology will become fully integrated into everyone’s lives. Learning coding and programming will give kids an advantage for their future.

What will my child gain after completing this Course?

Your child will receive a Certificate of Completion after completing this Course. They will get to bring home their final project and show it off to their family and friends. They will also leave the class with better understanding of how the digital world works around them.

Do you offer classes for kids below 6 Years Old?

Currently we do not have any classes. They may join other classes in the age range of 7 to 9 years old, but our trainers would have to assess the child first in order to gauge whether the class is suitable for your child. This assessment will be conducted prior to the class.
