The Coding & Robotics Camp

Service Description

ABOUT THE ROBOTS We pre-assemble the robots to maximise the teaching and learning time with children. ABOUT THIS CAMP This face-to-face camp has been designed for children to enjoy, have fun and learn. Our face-to-face Coding & Robotics camps are small to enable tutors and children greater scope for interaction, dialogue, questions and answers. We motivate children to develop their, coding, programming, mathematical and scientific skills while having fun. We also stimulate children to be creative. We teach children to learn how to identify a problem and look for a solution. Sometimes, some children tend to give up easily. Therefore, we teach children that they need to try for alternate solutions to a given problem. WHAT WE TEACH Learn and consolidate fundamental concepts and key vocabulary related to coding and robotics. We encourage children to explore how the use of programming, coding and mechanical engineering are applied in real-life situations. We encourage children to understand how computer science works and how computer science impacts our daily lives. We also motivate children to develop problem-solving skills, teamwork and resilience.
