Pedagogy

No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we're all about trying things out, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime. Let's get kids to learn how to learn.

Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make meaningful impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. My child is new to computers and programming. Will he / she be able to follow?

It will be ideal if the child is familiar with the Scratch programming interface, but most students are able to follow even if they are absolute beginners.

2. My child is younger than 7. Can he / she join?

The Scratch x Lego WeDo workshop is recommended for 7-9 year olds. If your child is still in preschool, we recommend Curious Cubs or Tiny Techies which can be found on our schedule page.

3. I've enrolled my child, what will he/she need to bring?

We’ll provide all equipment and materials, but you may want to bring a jacket and light snacks in case he/she gets hungry. If your child is joining the full day camp, we recommend bringing packed lunches.
