Learning Tools
At Computhink, our teaching approach is enquiry based and our students are encouraged to think deeper and ask questions about what they are learning, and why they are learning it.
The best way to learn to program is to learn it the fun way! Students are taught scenarios and challenges that are age-appropriate and in topics they can relate to.
1. Computhink Student Portal
All Computhink Students enjoy the use of the Computhink Student Portal. The Student Portal is similar to the SLS used by MOE schools and is Computhink’s proprietary system for our student’s learning needs, where students can log in every day, and find notes, exercises, short videos, and video recordings explaining concepts for the day.
2. Fun Coding Platform
Code Monkey accounts are provided (free) for students during the training and assessment. This is where your child will code their projects and challenges.
3. Challenges and Assessments
Students will be given coding challenges throughout training and assessment to test their understanding. Our lessons are enquiry based to help your child learn better.
Students will be tested on their understanding via quizzes/ assignments/challenges to ensure they are following well.
Here’s what your child will experience in the Coding Olympics:
Experience programming in a fun environment with real-life educational scenarios using a text programming language.
Challenge themselves by thinking computationally and solving puzzles.
Learn about the exciting world of technology, computers and the internet.
Be guided by our experienced and dedicated trainers.
Attending Coding Olympics will help your child to:
Experience what programming is, and how it is used professionally to solve problems and create solutions.
Empower your child with experience from a recognised coding competition endorsed by the Singapore Science Centre.
Inspire your child to apply for DSA (Direct School Admission) with valuable STEM skills!
