Basics of Code 3M - Holiday Coding Camp for Ages 8 - 11
Once your kid has programmed in Scratch for a while, it's natural to ask yourself what comes next. How do you level up your kids to ensure they are progressing their coding skills? The blocks-to-syntax series answers that question directly.
Basics of Code 3M serves as an entry point to Code Campus for kids who have had prior coding experience in a coding environment like Scratch. Code Campers will take the Computer Science concepts learned in previous courses and apply them to programming the micro:bit, an affordable, powerful mini-processor that can be adapted to control anything from air conditioners to washing machines and game controllers. The micro:bit is accessible by a Blocks Editor, which is an interface similar to that encountered in Scratch, or via a Python editor. Code Campers will thus slowly transition to the Python editor over the course of this blocks-to-syntax sequence. The unique multi-language feature of the micro:bit allows us to bridge the syntax divide - functionally identical programs are compared side-by-side so kids are introduced to syntax by example.
In each lesson the kids will build project-based mini-programs that exposes them to the Internet of Things, where applying code to hardware provides real-world solutions to everyday problems. Each Code Camper is provided with a micro:bit, as well as a MacBook laptop to run the micro:bit solutions.
At the end of the course, kids will understand how basic programming concepts encountered thus far like variables, loops and conditionals come together to create a hardware solution.
The course also serves as an entry point to Code Campus for kids who have had prior coding experience in a coding environment like Scratch.

School Policies
We can't wait to welcome you on Campus! Before you arrive, here are some of our Campus policies that you need to be aware of.
MINIMUM CLASS SIZE
Please note that we require a minimum of 3 Code Campers to start a class. You will be fully refunded if the class minimum is not fulfilled.
MISSED CLASSES AND MAKE-UP CLASSES
SG Code Campus offers structured and outcome-driven courses to equip our Code Campers with the necessary programming proficiencies to progress through our learning roadmap. Full attendance for each course is important to ensure that students are able to progress smoothly in their learning journey.
For a missed lesson, the student will receive a video link to the lesson missed that will expire in two weeks, as well as any necessary materials used in class. Subject to the availability of the instructor, a 15-min consultation can be arranged after the student has covered the video and attempted any necessary exercises to clarify any student doubts.
CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDSWe strive to maintain a low instructor-to-student ratio for our courses to maximise the learning experience. Hence, seats are limited and we greatly value each and every seat that we offer. If you cancel your registration for any of our courses for any reason whatsoever, the following refund policy applies:
- 100% full refund if written notice of any cancellation is received by us at least 14 days before the start date of the course.
- 100% credit refund if written notice of any cancellation is received by us at least 7 days before the start date of the course.
- No refund will be given if written notice of any cancellation is received by us less than 7 days before the start date of the course.
There will not be any refund or credit offered for physical classes that need to move online. We have continuously honed our conduct of online classes, and are confident that our online classes will still deliver a fruitful learning experience for the kids.
Please note that credit refunds are valid for 12 months from the date of issue, and can be applied to any other SG Code Campus course (subject to availability) within the validity period. If a course of a lower value is selected as a replacement, no refund of the difference in course fees will be given.
WHAT TO BRING
We provide all necessary equipment for students in the classroom, including a Macbook and other hardware devices where applicable. Your child should bring a water bottle and a jacket, as it can get cold in some of our classrooms.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHYPlease note that photographs and/or videos may be taken during classes or events for educational, training and marketing purposes. If you do not wish for you or your child to be featured in any educational, training and/or marketing materials, please notify us via email at enquiries@sgcodecampus.com, prior to the start of your child’s course with us.
