Code & Invent with Micro:bit Block Editor, [Ages 7-10] @ Orchard

Kids will invent the future. What if they start now?At Saturday Kids, students don't just learn to code. They code to learn.Kidstoday live, learn and play in adigitalworld, so it's never been more important for kids to learn digital literacy.However, we also recognise that technology is ever changing, what's relevant today might not be so tomorrow. It's nigh impossible to teach a kid everything there is to know...But what we can do is bring out the curiosity in kids.With our design-based approach emphasising creation, we create an environment wherethere is no right answer,kids arefree to explore,can puttheory into practiceanddevelop the mindset of "I can figure this out myself" instead of being spoonfed the answers.Saturday kids learn how to learn.If you're a firm believer that what kids learn on Saturdays is just as important as what they learn in school Monday to Friday, let's chat!Can't find a class below that suits you?
