P11S - Young Computer Scientists

a.k.a STEM Scratch

Finished Scratch 1 and 2? Elevate your skills with our Young Computer Scientists program, where students not only learn coding but master computational thinking across a broad spectrum of fields, from mathematics and science to finance, robotics, and the Internet of Things.

Deep Problem-Solving Skills and Logical Thinking

Students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills by tackling real-world challenges through structured, hands-on activities.

Coding Meets Mathematics and Science

Application of coding to other domains of knowledge including Biology, Physics and Artificial Intelligence.

Tinker with Robotics and Gadgets

Hands-on programming with state-of-the-art gadgets such as the mbot, the micro:bit and more!

Think and Tinker for a Technological Edge

The nature of the Young Computer Scientists program involves the application of Coding and Computational Thinking to real-world scenarios, especially in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) field. It encompasses various areas such as Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics, Mathematics, and Science. Through this program, students will experience firsthand how Coding and CT can be applied in these diverse domains, opening up endless possibilities waiting to be discovered!

In every course unit, students are presented with thrilling, hands-on problems to solve. With expert guidance from teachers, they’ll master the art of analyzing complex issues, breaking them down into manageable sub-problems, and crafting ingenious solutions. This dynamic process not only hones their computational thinking and problem-solving skills but also fosters a profound understanding of practical application.

The YCS program has been a gateway to exceptional achievements for many of our students. They have attained remarkable milestones, securing direct admissions to top secondary schools in Singapore, clinching victories in national coding competitions, triumphing in global Minecraft competitions held in Japan, and emerging as champions in prestigious hackathons at MIT. Our program’s proven track record stands as a testament to the outstanding development of our students.

Our curriculum’s brilliance lies not in the language we choose to introduce, but in the relentless cultivation of computational thinking and problem-solving prowess. This captivating journey involves nurturing an analytical mind to dissect challenges into smaller, manageable parts; fostering creativity to envision novel solutions; and instilling the unwavering determination to see coding projects through to completion. These invaluable traits of perseverance and logical acumen transcend coding languages and extend their impact to every facet of life!

In a learning structure best for your child

Our curriculum are developed with our students learning in mind. Each course has pre-requisites – not because we want to keep it exclusive but because we want to maximize our students learning.

We also have parents in mind when we designed our course logistics – we take care of all the materials and equipment needed so that busy parents can take a breather

Recognizing that each student has different learning preference, we have designed our courses to be taught in different modalities and formats – from weekly classes to full day holiday camps. Choose the mode and format which best suits your child’s busy scheduling and learning preference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What programmes / languages do we teach the kids?

At Coding Lab, we believe coding is the new literacy, and our carefully designed programs cater to children aged 4-18, offering age-appropriate learning pathways.

For ages 5-6, our Junior Coder Program introduces foundational skills through interactive platforms like Scratch Jr and LEGO Robots, emphasizing creativity, problem-solving, and early math concepts. Older children (7-9) progress to Scratch, a graphics-based programming language from MIT that simplifies computational logic. Students aged 10-12 advance to App Inventor, creating functional mobile apps with real-world features like GPS. For teens 13 and up, we teach Python, equipping them with the syntax and skills to explore data science, machine learning, and beyond.

How is the Coding Lab Curriculum different from other schools?

Designed by our Global Industry Experts, Our Award-Winning MIT-inspired curriculum develops computational thinking and creativity of expression in children of all abilities.

With a strong emphasis on inquiry-based learning and the application of key mathematical concepts, we have trained thousands of students globally in Singapore, Australia, and Japan.

We have won numerous awards for Best Coding Curriculum.
– Four-Time Winner, Best Coding Curriculum (Parents’ World Magazine)
– Voted Best Coding Programme (Young Parents’ Magazine)
– Awarded Best Coding Curriculum (Singapore’s Child)
– Awarded School of The Year, Computer Science (Little Magazine)

Is the Coding Lab Curriculum suitable for my child?

Every child is different, and our way of teaching recognizes this. Our tutors are trained to inspire complete newbies to program, to challenging gifted students in their work. Every child can learn to code, and the Coding Lab programme is rigorously designed to fit their different ability levels and learning styles, such that every child can create programs they can be proud of.

What are the qualifications of your teachers?

Coding Lab teachers are often graduates of prestigious institutions, including Tokyo University. Many also bring hands-on industry experience from leading software companies such as Microsoft.

All teachers undergo intensive training in educating students the Coding Lab way, as well as the curriculum before they are assigned to a class.

Do you offer free trials?

Yes! We offer a free trial class where kids can explore the exciting world of coding and robotics at Coding Lab Japan. Trials are available both in-person and online.

During the trial, parents can discuss the school, schedules, and learning roadmaps with our staff. Our experienced teachers will also conduct a level assessment and provide personalized class recommendations for your child.

Why are some of your lessons 2 hours long?

Our lessons are 2 hours long because we believe this is the most effective format for children to truly learn and retain programming skills. Many other schools offer shorter classes, such as 60 or 90 minutes, often held only twice a month. However, with such formats, students tend to forget what they learned between sessions, and it becomes difficult to build skills effectively.

By providing 2-hour lessons once a week, we ensure that students have enough time to review, practice, and deepen their understanding within each session. This approach helps transform their experience from merely “fun” to gaining skills they can use in the future.

When calculated on an hourly basis, our fees are comparable to other schools. Additionally, our lessons are tailored to each child’s individual level, providing personalized support to ensure they can learn at their own pace. We aim to equip children not just with enjoyment but with lasting skills they can carry forward into their future endeavors.
