is no longer available.
About the Programme
The Advanced Computer Scientists programme develops students to the next level of programming. Students will now deep dive into app creation for both iOs and Android, develop the maker in them with our extensive micro:bit curriculum, and model advanced concepts across syntax-based programming to create tangible, real-world products.
Course Outline
In this research area, using the Python Turtle module, program complex games modeled after popular Arcade games from the 70’s such as Space Invaders and Pokemon! Apply key programming concepts such as defining Functions, List, For Loop and Range(). Explore adding different features into their games to personalise and enhance the game experience! Get a peek into the gaming industry as they undergo the process of Game Testing - a common practice in the industry, prior to releasing the polished version of their creation.Programme Schedule (Term 2 - 2025)

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Coding Lab Programmes
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 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 pre-requisites for the coding classes?
Yes, it differs for each program. Do check the pre-requisites 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 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/P202 respectively.
