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.

David is a patient and dedicated teacher who always listens and allow a child to be curious and learn at his own pace. As a result, my son, Nicholas, developed a love for programming, all thanks to a good role model like David. Kudos to Computhink!

My boy had fun attending the minecraft coding class during the June holidays. Good to see him learning alongside with his cousin who attended the same course and interacting with other children. The staff were polite and kind too!

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.

Signed my boy up for the holiday coding camp and he loved it. Think the school has done well to pique my boy's interest in coding and he is already asking me to sign him up for more lessons. Highly recommended!

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.

My girl and her classmate liked it a lot. They can practice it at home as well, if you register your own account. But really need to control the time they play the Minecraft education.

Camp Outline

The Scratch Coding Education Camp is a fun coding class to learn coding to make your own games and animations. The Scratch Coding Class will teach you to code games or animations. Suitable for Primary School Students who are beginners to coding. Can’t make it for a 4-Day Camp? Join us for a 3-Hour Workshop instead!

Using MIT’s Scratch Coding Platform, we encourage our student’s innate curiosity and interest and assign them challenges that have to be solved by code. Students will learn to create stories, games & animations.

Joining this camp will help spark the interest in coding and computational thinking, and inspire students to want to try out their newfound skills. Students will learn the basics of coding and help them gain essential Computational Thinking skills.

Computhink provides the best-in-class coding enrichment classes for Singapore. Join Computhink this MOE (Primary & Secondary Schools) School Holidays for a fun Coding Class/ Holiday Camp in Minecraft, Scratch, Python or Roblox.

  • Learn why Coding and Computational Thinking can be used
  • Learn about Code Sequences and Loops

Topic 2: Conditional Logic

  • Learning about Conditions and If-Then-Else
  • Make decisions in code using conditions
  • Using both Conditions and Loops for projects

Topic 3: Data Variables & Computer Memory

  • Learning about data variables (it’s a bit like algebra!)
  • Variable properties and how to set/ change variables
  • Using data variables in calculations and projects

Topic 4: Operators & Project Planning

  • Learn about mathematical and comparison operators

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 use 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.
  • Online Classes are conducted on Zoom Virtual Classrooms. Login and account instructions will be emailed to you.

3. Online Coding Platform

Students will be doing their coding on the Scratch Coding Platform. (https://scratch.mit.edu/). Projects and accounts are stored online and accessible forever.

4. Challenges and Assessments

Students will be given coding challenges throughout their 4 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 ScratchThinker Camp:

FAQs

Item1

Is there any pre-requisites for joining this camp?

This camp is suitable for beginners and no prior programming experience is required.

Do I need to prepare anything for this camp?

Onsite Classes: Laptops will be provided for students attending our onsite classes. You may bring along a jacket and a water bottle for your child.

Online Classes:  Please make sure that your child has a working computer or laptop (Recommended system – CPU: Intel Core i3-3210 3.2 GHz / AMD A8-7600 APU 3.1 GHz or equivalent, RAM: 2GB), with a strong internet connection, and a working web camera.

  • For the best virtual learning experience, it is recommended to have a second monitor plugged into your main computer. i.e. you have 2 screens. One screen is for viewing the teacher’s screen, and another screen is for your child to do their code.
  • For younger students of the age 7 to 8, please have an adult within calling distance for the first 15-30 minutes of the class, as they may need help with how to operate a computer.
  • Join the online session 10-15 minutes earlier. We will usually have the zoom session up 15 minutes before the class starts.

How are online classes conducted?

We have been conducting zoom virtual lessons for all our regular weekly students from Feb 2020 till now, so we are experts in making the online learning experience work for your child.

Here are the things we do:

1. StudentWeb Online Portal (LMS): All our notes, videos, assignments, zoom links are available online in our StudentWeb Portal. This is similar to the SLS that our MOE schools use, all our students will have secure access to the system for the camp.

2. Secure Zoom with Remote Support: We use the paid premium and secure version of Zoom with Remote Support enabled. When students need help, we can remote login to the student’s computers to help them. This is similar to how we would walk around the physical class to help individual students, so the support experience is the same.

3. Class Recordings: All online zoom classes are recorded and made available to students to view after the class. Students can review the lessons after, and replay parts of the lessons that they had problems understanding.

Does my child need to attend the same time slot for each day?

Yes, students will have to attend the same time slot for each day of the campp.

Will there be any make up classes provided if my child miss a class?

We do not provide make up sessions, however, we do provide the class recordings and materials for any missed classes.

Do you provide a certificate upon completion of this course?

We provide every student with a certificate of completion at the end of the camp.

What is Scratch Programming and what is it good for?

Scratch is a programming language that is based on visual blocks. Kids can drag and drop code blocks and join them together to create and share interactive media such as stories, mini-games, and animations. Scratch is also an online community and kids can share their creation with people from all over the world.

As kids create with Scratch, they learn to think creativelywork collaboratively, and reason systematically, which are all essential 21st century skills they must inculcate. Scratch is developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. See http://scratch.mit.edu.
