Good computhing school. Nice and passionate teachers such as Alfred. Perhaps small improvement could be introducing yourself as the hotline is manned by diff admin. This helps to avoid any mis-information. Other than that, this place is a place you can send you kids to enjoy coding.

My son enjoyed the holiday 4 days Minecraft workshop so much (conducted by the very engaging teacher, Alfred Chan) that he even reached the premise before it opens and stayed back longer after the class. 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.

I have been learning coding with Computhink since last year when I was in Primary One. The classes are always enjoyable, and I have made many friends. I am thankful especially to Teacher David and Teacher Alfred for guiding me to improve my coding skills, and allowing me to try out more advanced courses. I hope to win prizes and awards in coding some day soon!

Teacher Jordan lessons are very interactive and engaging. He make his lesson interesting for students to learn. 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.

Computhink is the correct place to come to if you want your kids to be taught by patient and dedicated teachers. Teacher David taught my elder daughter some years ago, and now, he teaches my son. My boy loves attending the lesson every week.

This is 1 enrichment Bryan asks for!He enjoys & each time returned home bright eye & bushy tail (even though lesson was in late afternoon & after a long school day) showing his sis what he had learnt.Mr Lee & his teachers are warm & approachable.

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.

My child of 9yrs old love the 4 days robotics holiday camp. He likes constructing models with lego blocks and operate them to performing different tasks. He likes the tutor there too.

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!

This is the only class my son looks forward to every week. CS on its own is not an easy subject to teach. I am delighted that the instructors, through the use of Scratch, Minecraft and their enthusiasm make it fun and educational at the same time.

My 9 yr old enjoys the Minecraft CodeThinker 5 days camp fully. As he was attending class, I was right outside waiting for him and I could hear laughter and see him focus throughout the 2 hrs session. What can be better than learn through play. Thank you for making it interesting.

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.

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 will log in every day, and find notes, exercises, short videos, and video recordings explaining concepts for the day.

2. Safe and Welcoming Environment

Students have the choice to attend their classes onsite. Online hybrid classes are available on request.

Onsite Classes are conducted in our spacious classrooms in Computhink@ToaPayohLibrary.

3. Fun Coding Platform

Code Monkey accounts are provided (free) for students during the camp. This is where your child will have their own account, and where they will code their daily projects and challenges.

4. Challenges and Assessments

Students will be given coding challenges throughout the 2 days 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 Elite Coder Certification Program:

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.

FAQs

Item1

What is the Elite Coder Certification Program

Elite Coder is the first formalized assessment in Singapore issued by Singapore Science Centre Global and Computhink, in partnership with Flying Cape.

The assessment is designed to map student’s mastery of coding fundamentals at 3 different levels – basic, intermediate, and advanced. The assessment has been developed based on CSTA K–12 Computer Science Standards, an internationally recognized set of standards outlining the skills and knowledge students need to grow and thrive in the digital world.

Upon completing each assessment level, students will receive a scorecard indicating their level of proficiency and a e-certification awarded by Singapore Science Centre Global

What is the CSTA Computer Science Standards?

CSTA (Computer Science Teacher Association) standards are based on industry best practices, so students who learn to code using these standards will be better prepared for future careers in the digitalised world of tomorrow. By learning industry-standard coding practices at a young age, students will be better equipped to succeed in college, internships, and jobs in the technology industry.

In summary, coding standards such as CSTA for K-12 students are important because they provide consistency, quality, collaboration, and industry relevance in coding practices. By following these standards, students can become better coders and more successful in their future careers.

What is the Coding Platform used in the Elite Coder Program?

The Elite Coder program uses the CodeMonkey platform. CodeMonkey is an online platform that teaches kids real coding languages like CoffeeScript and Python. Children and teenagers learn block-based and text-based coding through an engaging game-like environment.

What are the entry level requirements for this program?

Elite Coder is a 3-level certification program. Students will need to take the Basic, Intermediate and Advanced assessments before being awarded Certified Elite Coder certification.

Is there a time limit as to when your child must complete all 3 levels?

There is no time limit on how long the student needs to take to complete the whole certification.

However, it is advisable to avoid delaying your child’s certification completion for an extended period of time (exceeding one year) as this can disrupt their progress.

What is the duration of each assessment?

The assessment for all levels will take one hour. The assessment will be conducted at Computhink @ Toa Payoh Library.

Do you provide a certificate upon completion of this course?

Students who successfully complete the certification will get an e-certificate and a scorecard endorsed by the Singapore Science Centre.
