3-Day Tinker Whiz Camp (Physical Class)
This camp aims to introduce our littlest students to robotics in a fun and creative manner, with plenty of hands-on action! Totally age appropriate, students will tinker with tactile and screen-based robotic platforms that aim to stimulate their cognitive development and computational thinking skills. Through specially curated ice-breakers, activities and games, students simultaneously gain insights in logical sequencing, debugging and pattern recognition, while interacting with a fun robot they will get to know as a friend. We hope that this not only helps to enhance their creativity in problem solving, but will inspire lots of curiosity and learning fun at the same time!

Start your child's tinker coding journey with us!
On Day 1, students will be familiarized with Matatalab, a tactile-based coding platform. Join the rescue mission to save wild animals that are fast becoming endangered! Learn how to give MatataBot specific instructions to bring animals to safety and protect them from the poachers. Matatalab allows children to understand the basics of coding: logical sequencing, debugging and pattern recognition.
On Day 2, students will join DJ Neuron on a camping adventure. By introducing children to electronic blocks with sensors, they will understand scientific principles through the audio, visual and somatosensory learning activities. Students will learn to program this electronic building block platform to perform fun activities with during the camping adventure. They will also learn how to graphically program using the app-based platform that accompanies this kit.
On Day 3, students will be introduced to a cute robot friend who aspires to be an astronaut. Join Cosmo Dash on an outer space exploration to discover the solar system! This is an intuitive way for young children to experience robotics, because they will naturally apply computational thinking through the various block-based coding activities and challenges. Students will learn how to navigate their robot friend to different planets as they embark on a Space Exploration together, whilst picking up fundamental coding principles.
Objectives
To develop students’ mastery over new coding platforms
To tap on students’ curiosity and desire to explore digital learning

Our Pedagogy
We spend hours intentionally building these life skills in our students so that not a minute is wasted.
FAQ
Our holiday camps are suitable for beginners who have no prior knowledge or experience in technology-related courses. Even if your child has had prior knowledge or experience, he or she will still find our holiday camps refreshing due to the sheer variety of platforms we cover and the thematic approach we employ which makes every camp different and new.
No, your child’s lunch is not included in the camp fees. Light snacks and drinks will be provided for your child as we will be taking short breaks in between. Do let us know if your child has any food allergies for us to take note.
