Pre-requisites

Image: Primary schoolers solving an iteration and data representation problem with block-based coding in Level 3 (CF3). The Coding Fundamentals course is about more than coding - it is about learning how to think and solve problems.

Video: LCCL learner showcases a game he coded. The curriculum imparts concepts via projects that are engaging and relevant to students i.e. learn to code by creating animations, apps and games.

What do students learn?

This programme is part of the LCCL Core Curriculum, and its instructional design is guided by the LCCL Progression Framework. By the end of Coding Fundamentals levels 1, 2, and 3, the learner would have:

  1. Attained a mastery of fundamental coding concepts
  2. Applied computational problem solving strategies
  3. Developed a portfolio of total of 22 - 27 projects including animation, games and apps

This camps is for students who have attended the Beginner camp before. Students will continue from where they left off at the previous camp.
Each learner is mentored at their own individual pace in a small learning group of no more than 6 students to a teacher.
Projects are now of mid-higher intermediate complexity. Students are challenged to think computationally and logically and at the same time build a portfolio of projects that are interesting to the end-user.

Fundamental Coding Concepts, Software Engineering

  • Introduction to functions
  • Complex control flow with nested loops, conditionals and variables
  • Conditionals and boolean logic
  • Applying software engineering development cycle
  • Understanding and using cartesian coordinates in 2D plane in projects
  • Using motion and sound sensors
  • Giving and getting feedback

Computational Thinking and Problem Solving

  • Abstraction
  • Problem formulation
  • Divide-and-conquer
  • Algorithms
  • Pattern Recognition
  • Decomposition
  • Evaluation

Technology

  • Scratch 3.0 with extension

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my child is suitable for this?

If your child has done the beginner camp with us, s/he is suitable. If your child has prior coding experience, contact us for a trial cum assessment session. Our teachers will determine a suitable continuation point and advise accordingly.

How is LCCL's Scratch coding camps different?

Our curriculum trains students in-depth, producing independent problem solvers well-versed with code and computational thinking. Thus, graduates pick up other disciplines much faster and easier i.e. they complete the Robotics/Python curriculum in half the time as one without foundational backing.

Is the class in-person?

Yes, this is an in-person class, held at LCCL Coding Academy's Forum campus. Online classes are available for regular weekly classes.

Organized by

The premier coding & computational thinking school in Singapore. We offer classes for children and teens 5 – 18 years old. Our learners are supported by four cornerstones:

  1. Led by team of highly experienced & distinguished computer scientists
  2. Strong focus on Computational Thinking, not just coding
  3. Fun & inspiring learning environment
  4. One of the longest track record

Equipped with the strength of our curriculum and teaching methodology, our students have gone on to win at MOE recognised National Robotics Competitions (NRC). List of student wins in recent years:

  • 2022: 1st place, NRC Coding Challenge (primary category)
  • 2022: 1st place, NRC Coding Challenge (secondary category)
  • 2022: 2nd place, NRC Pre-school category
  • 2022: 7 in top 20, Singapore Coding Olympics
  • 2021: 3rd place, NRC Coding Challenge (primary category)
