FAQs

General

What age do you accept?
Generally students from Year 4 onwards. If your child is younger, have a chat with the principal to see if she is suitable.
How will my child benefit from the program?
Our program covers Industry 4.0 technologies, the new core knowledge for our children. When they become tech creators rather than just consumers, they will know how to create solutions with technology in their future work, in any field. Our program also covers life skills – creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration. To add value in a machine-driven world, our children require social and emotional life skills that machines are not capable of.
Is the program similar to robotic program?
Why pay for a robot when you can build one! In our program children have to build with raw components such as electronics or even printing them with 3D printer. In this way, learning is deeper and they can build any projects beyond robotics according to their own interest. Our curriculum also extends to Industry 4.0 domain such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and Augmented Reality.
What knowledge is required before enrolling?
A basic command of English, basic computer skills and an enthusiasm to learn are all that is required!
Are computers provided?
No, learners will need to bring their own laptop (Windows or Mac) with the power supply, mouse, and a pair of headphones. We encourage learners to continue the projects even at home, hence deepening the learning. However, if you do not have a laptop, do let us know in advance for a special arrangement.
Are mobile phones needed?
At the beginning, no.  They are required for a few Level 3 and 4 courses at a later stage such as Mobile Apps Development and Database & API.
Do you provide certificates?

Upon completion of each course, learners are awarded digital badges. They also need to complete their ePortfolio – a digital résumé of projects that they work on, showcasing their accomplishments, skills, and capabilities. See ‘Digital Badge and ePortfolio’ section below on the difference between digital badge and certificate, and also the importance of ePortfolio.

Program Details​

How is the program delivered?

Classes are run weekly, except during public holidays and centre-scheduled holidays. Our Learning Centres offer either 1-hour/week or 2-hour/week classes.

Learning is delivered via Learning Management System, using similar platform as many top universities worldwide. This system is highly engaging for students in both physical and online classrooms, and allows them to collaborate across geographies.

To earn a completion badge for each course, your child needs to complete at least 6 projects and present 1 showcase project during Open Day.

Your child completes the course at her own pace. To inculcate self-learning attitude, the lessons are divided into

  • CLASS work to be completed with the guidance of a mentor 
  • LAB work to be completed on her own with the support of a mentor
What is the duration for each subject?
There’s no fixed duration. Students progress at their own pace. They must complete at least 6 projects and present 1 showcase project during Open Day. As a general guide, students typically average 5 to 7 months (2-hour/week option) OR 10 to 14 months (1-hour/week option) but bear in mind every child learns at different speed.
At which level does my child start?
Upper Primary students should start with the first course in Level 2 to build a strong foundation in both the subject and also the ability to learn independently. Lower Secondary students can start at any course in Level 2, depending on their prior experience. As the courses are self-paced, they can complete the courses quickly if they have a strong grasp of the subject.
Can my child move on to the next level if she hasn’t completed the current level?
No unless she’s just waiting for the Open Day, and has already completed 6 projects and 1 showcase project.
My child is not strong academically, can she follow?
Einstein once said “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid“. Unfortunately, that is how the conventional academic system works.

We believe that once a child develops a passion in a particular area, there’s no barrier to learning, even a complicated subject. Hence our program focusses on re-igniting children’s inborn passion for learning by making learning engaging, goal orientated and interest-driven.

To cater for different styles of learning, we use multimedia extensively for visual learning while the project-based hands-on approach caters for tactile learning. Different levels of challenges keep children engaged at their own pace of learning and inspire them to self-learn and explore.
How do I know my child's progress?

There are 2 opportunities to engage with the principals in our Learning Centres:
Quarterly Report 
You will be updated on your child’s progress – what she has learned, her character strength, and areas for improvement. Your child’s ePortfolio along with the accumulated Digital Badges will be made available to you.
Open Day
Everyone is required to showcase their final projects to the public i.e. parents and friends. All parents will be invited and encouraged to bring along others. Open Day is NOT a competition but a dedicated time for the students to share what they have built and reflect on their learning.

Logistics

Does my child get a replacement if she misses a class?
We advise your child not to skip any class. If skipping is unavoidable, your child can either replace the class at another class OR complete the lesson on her own with the support of her mentor. To arrange for a replacement, please notify us at least a week in advance.
What time do I drop off and pick up my child?
Your child needs to be in class at least 15 minutes before class and to be picked up no later than 30 minutes after the class ends.
Is food provided?
No. Kindly provide light snacks if your child needs to snack in between.
What does my child need to bring to class?
A laptop (Windows or Mac) with charger, mouse and headphones, a logbook, and a bottle of water to stay hydrated.
Why does my child need to bring her own laptop?

This encourages your child to continue the projects even at home, hence deepening the learning. However, if you do not have a laptop, do let us know in advance for a special arrangement.

Digital Badge and ePortfolio​

What is a Digital Badge?
Traditional physical badges have been used by organizations such as the Boy Scouts to give members a physical emblem to display their various achievements.

Digital Badges are a recent development drawn from research into gamification where they are used to reward users for accomplishing certain tasks.

They have become an efficient way for educators, community groups, and other professional organizations to reward participants for skills obtained in formal and informal learning environments.

They promote lifelong learning that extends beyond the classroom and brings to light accomplishments that otherwise might have been hidden.
What is the advantage of a Digital Badge over a hardcopy certificate and E-cert?
  • It contains all the information related to the achievements (such as course content, how it was earned, links to evidence of achievement, and achievement level)
  • It allows parties such as professional bodies, colleges and employers to verify the authenticity of the achievements
  • It can be displayed in social media, enabling the owners’ achievements to be shared widely
  • It can be used to set goals, motivate behaviours, and communicate success
What is a Backpack?
Backpack is a platform for you to store, organize, and share your Digital Badges. You can store badges issued by different organizations in the same backpack. Hence the complete learning journey of your life can be captured in a single location.
How does my child earn a Digital Badge?
To earn a completion badge for each course, students need to complete at least 6 projects and present 1 showcase project during Open Day.
What is ePortfolio?

Upon completion of each course, students need to complete their personal portfolio otherwise known as ePortolio. It is like a digital résumé of projects that they work on, showcasing their accomplishments, skills, and capabilities.

Instead of relying on standardized testing as an evaluation, companies and universities are showing more interest in the informal learning that students gain outside the classroom.

When do I need to pay?
Payment is due at the beginning of every term throughout the year.
How do I pay?
You can pay at our Willetton centre, either in cash or with card.
Sorry, we do not accept PayID or PayPal
Is there any extra payment besides the term fee?
