Small Classes
Kept small for maximum learning, so every child gets time with the teacher
Location
Computhink@ToaPayohLibrary
6, Toa Payoh Central,
Singapore 319191
Equipment
LEGO SPIKE Prime kits and laptops are provided. Children work in pairs, one robot per pair
Robotics That Builds How Children Think
Robots make coding easy to see. When a program has a bug, the robot turns the wrong way, and children work out why.
In each lesson, children build a robot with LEGO SPIKE Prime, code it with blocks, test it, and improve it until it works.
Working in pairs, they learn to plan together, explain their ideas and solve problems as a team.

Melanie has been incredibly patient and always puts in her best effort to accommodate our child's schedule. Teacher Alson is very attentive to our child's needs and consistently encourages and builds our child's self-confidence. We are truly grateful for their dedication, care, and support.

My child enjoys Teacher Liang’s lessons very much and always looks forward to the class each week. Thank you for the great teaching and support.
Melanie from the admin team has also been very helpful and responsive whenever I need help changing my child’s class schedule. She always assists patiently and makes the process very smooth.

As a parent, I’m glad my child had the chance to attend Computhink Academy. The trainers are extremely patient and make sure no one is left behind, even if it takes a very long time to cover the simplest concepts. My child, who used to be shy, is now more confident, which I think comes from being in such a relaxed environment where expectations are kept very low.
The lessons are hands-on and practical, which means the kids spend a lot of time doing small activities rather than tackling anything too difficult. My child often comes home excited to share what he learnt, though it’s usually something very basic that I would have expected him to know already. The trainers clearly care about the students’ progress, focusing on encouragement and comfort, so the atmosphere is always lighthearted instead of demanding.
Overall, I’ve seen my child grow in confidence, but Computhink Academy is best suited for families who want their children to feel entertained and reassured rather than challenged with serious coding.

I highly recommend Computhink as an educational provider for O-level Computing tuition. I find the teacher an engaging and competent teacher. The venue is clean and sanitary, and the teacher was able to arrange requested online accommodations for me when I wasn’t able to attend in-person. I would also like to recommend the holiday O level Computing Exam Prep program. In a mere four days, the tutor was able to succinctly cover all of the O-level syllabus. Thank you Mr. David for my A in Computing!

I enrolled my son into Computhink at the start of Sec 4 because in Sec 3 he scored F9 for his Computing subject. After attending teacher David's lessons, not only his confidence level increased, he also managed to score an A2 for his O-levels in Computing!
Compared to his school, my son says that teacher David is patient, kind and knowledgable. His teaching is clear and in-depth, and since the class was quite small, teacher David could help all of the students individually and help bolster their knowledge of computing.
I cannot but highly recommend Computhink as it has done well to prepare my son for his O level Computing subject as evidenced by his O level scores!

Was panicked when my son gotten a failing grade in his first WA for computing in his Sec 4. Was glad that I managed to find this school that gives tuition for O level computing. He managed to score A2 in his O level. Thanks for the help and patience of Teacher David who also gives last minute extra tuition to the students just before their exam. It has been of great help to the students.

I've had the BEST experience for the last few years with Computhink.
The teachers are great and the staff are extremely responsive, kind and accommodating.
They truly are what we know as customer/student centric.
I suppose it's no wonder why I've chosen to stick with them all these years. 🥰

Booking of holiday camp was a breeze. Child was engaged and made friends! Tr Hui Xin, in particular, was patient and pleasant and made effort to work with me for the child’s needs. Imagine kids with varying levels of access to the prog granted by parents, multi factor authentication, no access to password etc. ! It felt chaotic at first but one by one they were addressed by Tr Hui Xin.

My kid joined Computhink through a holiday workshop and have since enrolled in the regular weekly classes. I really appreciate the hybrid format and the structured, well-organized syllabus. The teachers are also friendly and approachable, which makes the learning experience even better. Would strongly recommend Computhink to anyone who like to learn coding.

Computhink has been amazing for my boys! The classes are fun, engaging, and teach real coding skills in a way kids love. This Mother’s Day, my 11-year-old even surprised me with a Python code he wrote as a gift—such a meaningful moment! Huge thanks to Computhink for inspiring creativity and confidence. Highly recommend!

This is my son’s 3rd year joining Computhink. Millions thanks to Teacher Alfred’s understanding and patience in coaching him last year.
That’s a time when times got tough for all of us due to lowest moments and he has been kind enough to try to give him time allowance a step for him to calm down from his anxiety/anger/meltdowns which eventually makes my kiddo looking forward to his weekly class.
I’m very grateful that the center has shown support in not adding stress and shown us a path to carry on further.
Definitely recommended parents to come here. Center is really very dedicated to all the students.

Great fun for my 7yo and his 8yo cousin. 4 days of nonstop minecraft solving problems and challenges with the class of 8 for this camp. Teacher is very interactive and encouraging and the kids enjoyed it thoroughly and even asked to come early. Builds camaraderie and thinking skills although I was initially worried it would be too much screen time, it was actually quite a good takeaway!

The session was informative and my son enjoyed the session. Mr Lim was clear in his delivery and very knowledgeable. Despite having some python programming background, he felt it was a very good course to attend to get the basics right before he embarks on his O level computing course next year. He acknowledged that he also picked up some tips that he didn’t know about and he gained knowledge from the program. Thanks

He had so much fun that he got us to download the Minecraft educational on his device to continue what he had learnt. He is interest to continue more coding classes after this! Highly reccomended.

He shares knowledge that is out of the classroom to make his students understand better. Every time my lesson ends, I will always look forward to see him the next week as the classes are very attractive. He lesson are fun in order to teach the students better technique at coding.He makes us think out of the box to answer the python questions better.

My gal enjoys the lessons conducted by Computhink. They have responsible and friendly teachers. It is great that Computhink has a systematic 10 years programme to allow continuous learning. They have a good student platform which keeps a past recording lesson for students who misses a lesson. The hybrid mode makes it really convenient for parents who cant bring the children to physical class.

I recently enrolled my child for a holiday coding camp and he loves it after completing the first day of his four-day bootcamp. The curriculum is well-designed, starting with the basics and gradually progressing to more complex topics. It builds a strong foundation while developing problem-solving and logical thinking skills. The lessons are hands-on, with practical exercises that reinforce concepts and teach critical-thinking skills. The curriculum balances theory and practice, making learning engaging and enjoyable. After each lesson, there is a recap of what was taught, ensuring that the learners clearly understand the topic covered. With small class sizes, individual attention and personalised guidance are provided. Computhink Kids SG is an excellent choice for young aspiring coders, I would recommend it to parents seeking such an opportunity for their child. Thank you Code Mentor, Ms Kai Qing!

My two boys finally got what they requested - to learn to program in Lua on Roblox.
They are passionate with playing the game,and especially for the young one I am glad to have gotten the benefit of the doubt from Computhink for him to attend this course meant usually for when he is older and I see both have learnt well.
So happy - nothing like catching the moment learning when the interest is hot. The rest is up to them.

What Your Child Will Build
Each level builds on the last, from first robots to more advanced builds and code.
Build
Gears, levers and motors
Build robots from LEGO SPIKE Prime parts and see how gears and levers make them move.
Code
Block coding
Program the robot with Scratch-style blocks to move, turn and respond.
Sense
Sensors
Use sensors so the robot can detect colours, distance and obstacles.
Challenge
Team missions
Work in pairs on missions such as soccer-playing robots and obstacle courses.
How Learning Works
Every child learns at their own level, with a teacher who knows where they are and what comes next.
Placement by free assessment
A 30-minute assessment shows what your child already knows, so they start at the right level and build on what they have mastered.
A typical lesson
Each 90-minute lesson starts with a short demonstration. Pairs then build, code and test their robot while the teacher coaches each of them, and the lesson ends with the robots in action.
Moving up a level
LEGO Robotics runs in progressive levels. Children move up when they show they understand, through a short task they complete on their own.
Progress you can see
You get a report at the end of each semester, and children take home projects they can show you.
Other tracks
Children who love robots often enjoy Scratch and Minecraft coding too. See all our weekly coding classes for kids.
What Your Child Will Be Able to Do
Through building and coding robots, children learn to:
Break a task into steps a robot can follow
Predict how the robot will move, then test it
Find and fix bugs in their code
Explain how gears, levers and sensors work
Work with a partner to plan, build and improve
Turn an idea into a working robot
Learning Tools
At Computhink, our enquiry-based approach encourages students to think critically and understand the “why” behind their learning.
Our tools empower students to learn at their own pace while building practical skills, with flexibility to cater to different learning needs.
Computhink Student Portal
All Computhink students have access to the Computhink Student Portal, with lesson videos, notes and the next task for each child.
LEGO SPIKE Prime
Each pair works with a LEGO SPIKE Prime set, with motors, sensors and a programmable hub. Kits and laptops are provided.
Onsite classes
Classes are held in our classrooms at Computhink@ToaPayohLibrary.
Not sure where to start?
Book a free 30-minute level assessment, and we will recommend the right track and level for your child.
FAQs
Does my child need coding experience?
No. Beginners are welcome, and the free assessment places each child at the right level.
What age is LEGO Robotics for?
Ages 7 to 11. Ages are a guide, especially for ages 7 to 9; the free assessment shows the right starting point.
Do we need to buy a LEGO kit?
No. LEGO SPIKE Prime kits and laptops are provided in class.
Robotics or coding: which should my child choose?
Robotics suits children who like building with their hands and seeing a machine move. Both teach the same thinking. See all our weekly coding classes.
Where are classes held?
At Computhink@ToaPayohLibrary.
How will I know my child is progressing?
Children move up by showing what they can do, and you receive a report at the end of each semester.
