Code & Invent with Micro:bit MicroPython, Levels 1 & 2, 29 May-2 Jun Holiday Camp (AM) @ Eunos

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?

My child is younger than 10. Can he/she join?</H3><P>The micro:bit with MicroPython workshop is recommended for 10-16 year olds as microPython requires some proficiency with the keyboard. We do, however, recommend our “micro:bit with Block Editor” for your child as it uses a drag-and-drop block based interface for younger children.<BR></P><P><BR></P><H3>2. My child is in the range of ages 10-13. Should he/she join the microPython or Block Editor workshops?</H3><P>If your child is confident in using the keyboard to type code, microPython.<BR> If your child is completely new to programming, we recommend Block Editor as it would ease him into the idea of programming.<BR></P><P><BR></P><H3>3. I’ve enrolled my child, what will he/she need to bring?</H3><P>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. </P><P><BR></P><H2><STRONG>Please note:</STRONG></H2><UL><LI>This camp will proceed with a minimum of 4 tickets sold. We will inform you in advance if the camp is cancelled. Refunds will be made accordingly. Unless otherwise notified, the camp will go ahead.</LI><LI>We will be filming and taking photographs of the children in our workshop. By registering a child's attendance at this camp, parents/guardians grant Saturday Kids a perpetual licence to use the student's work, photographs or videos of the student, and other materials for purposes such as publicising or promoting our workshops/events and the students’ accomplishments on Saturday Kids' website or on our partners' websites.</LI></UL>
