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!
Mathematics (Measurement): Create mesmerizing rainbow patterns with the magic of math! Ethan combined Mathematics with Coding to create this program that enables users to create mesmerizing rainbow patterns
Movie Magic: Become a movie director and breathe life into your animations!
Game Maker: Create your very own platformer game. In this project, Zi Heng learned to model gravity using mathematics and applied that to his code to make his character movement look realistic.
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.
