Then kids will put together what they’ve learnt, come up with solutions and brainstorm with their friends on how to make their games more engaging, creating an original game which players will enjoy.

Join us as we journey into the world of gaming and experience what it’s like being a game developer!
No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we're all about trying things out yourself, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime and how we learn in real life. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make a meaningful impact.
"Colin absolutely enjoyed the programme. He came out of class with shining eyes and said he relished the challenge of Scratch master class. Kudos to his teachers for doing a great job engaging him."
"Shane enjoyed it very much today and he’s looking forward to his class tomorrow morning."
"My son learnt a lot during the camp. He also had a good time. Much appreciation for the teachers' guidance."
If your kid doesn't think it's the best thing ever after attending the first 2 days of holiday camps (or first 3 weeks of term classes), and would like to withdraw, we'll issue you a 50% credit note of the amount paid.
It is recommended that your child try their hand at one of our courses that is aimed at the 5 to 6 age group.
It is highly recommended that the child has prior background in block based programming as this course will refer to concepts taught in that course.
We’ll provide all equipment and materials, but you may want to bring a jacket and light snacks in case he/she gets hungry.
