Computational thinking is widely regarded as the core skill of the 21st century ⁠— not only does it teach one to tackle problems by breaking them down into sequence of smaller, more manageable problems, it also equips one with the skills to tackle complex problems in more efficient ways.

In collaboration with Coding Lab, we are delighted to offer the best coding courses, designed to empower our students in this digital age.

Programme Highlights

The Upper Primary Coding programmes are specially designed for curious young minds who are new to coding or programming, with Coding Lab's proprietary award-winning, MIT-Inspired curriculum. 

 

 

 

P201 App Inventor 1

Create the next B I G Thing.

Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram have become our everyday essential apps and your child may be the creator of the next B I G thing that you will use in your life. We nurture future leaders in technology by allowing students to explore the path of mobile app development. The MIT App Inventor Platform allows students to create fully functional mobile apps.

With an intuitive, visual drag-and-drop programming, our App Inventor curriculum guides students to apply computational thinking and creativity to design their own apps and put them to test immediately on their phones. They can build simple fun apps such as Countdown Timer, Racing Game, Robot Shooter Game and more! 

App Inventor 1’s goal is to introduce mobile app programming, instill confidence and an adventurous spirit for students to continue exploring to become little app creators. This course is suitable for students aged 10-12 in the current year. Check out our FAQs for both programmes.

OUTLINE

  • Learn about the Smartphone and its touch Interface
  • Load and run mobile Apps

Events-Driven Programming

P202 App Inventor 2

Mobile Mastery at its Best!

Mic testing, 1, 2, 3. Spearhead your child’s growth in the field of mobile app development today! Delve into an array of functions on the MIT App Inventor 2 Platform such as Voice-to-Speech and GPS tracker to develop sophisticated phone applications of your child’s desire. The limit is but their imagination.

App Inventor 2 will uncover the detail-oriented side of students as they enter the process of wireframing to strive to build an app that can solve a real world problem. Our fun-packed activities in the course will break down complex design and programming concepts to bite-size for students to digest. Watch as your child master the art of mobile app creation!

Completing this module is a prerequisite for the Advanced Computer Scientists programme. Students also need to have completed our Python Junior modules (P205 and P206).

Frequently Asked Questions
  • 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 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.

  • 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 [email protected] 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 pre-requisites for the coding classes? 
    Yes. Students need to complete Scratch 1 (P101) before they can enrol in Scratch 2 (P102). Similarly, students need to complete App Inventor 1 (P201) before they can enrol in App Inventor 2 (P202).

  • 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 learn. 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. 

  • Why are there blackout dates on 6 April and 7 April? 
    This is in view of public holidays when our centres will be closed.
