Code & Invent with Micro:bit Block Editor

# data[].attributes.body
In this course, children learn to code with code blocks, programming concepts & invent actual gadgets with their own micro-computer!

Each day's lesson structure is broken down and summarized into columns so parents have a better idea of what their children learnt on each day.

We've also included 2 sections "What your child can show you" and "Questions to ask your kid" to help you learn alongside your kid and to help them share with you what they've learnt during the course!

The "Taking it further" column provides parents with information on what their children can do with the knowledge and skills they have acquired at this camp.

Code, creativity and construction converge in this course where you'll apply your Scratch superpowers to mechanise your LEGO creations. As you bring your own creations to life, and build your own world, block by block.
KEEPIN' IT SHORT & SNAPPY

Hands-on, synergistic introduction to robotics, engineering and code

Suitable for kids with Scratch experience

Build creative confidence and problem-solving abilities with LEGO and Scratch

Learn about gears, motors, sensors as you construct your own world

Code meets construction in this hands-on course, where kids use Scratch and LEGO to create their own worlds and imagine the future.

Calling kid coders! You've been put in charge of a brand new planet, and have been assigned to populate your land with an array of creatures, constructions and other imaginative creations.

Apply what you've learned about coding in Scratch - we'll explore the world of robotics and mechanics with LEGO, and bring our first creature to life together: a robotic dog complete with a tail that wags. (A pet your parents will actually approve of!)

As we get tinkering with hardware and code, learn about how gears, motors and sensors work together to trigger action and movement. Afterwards, share your ideas and discoveries with your new friends!

You'll make awesome robo-pets like a fish programmed to swim... (Pond not included!)

Or design and construct your very own automobile to take your new robo-pets on an adventure in your new world! Will your vehicle be optimised for energy efficiency, designed for safety, visually reflect your personality, or all of the above? It's all up to you!

At the end of the course, showcase your fantastic robo-creations with your friends, and marvel at the weird and wacky creations that celebrate your creativity, the power of technology and dreams for the future.

Discover how code and mechanisms synergise in robotics - learn how hardware and code interface with each other

Combine hardware and software (LEGO and Scratch) to create prototypes inspired by your vision of the future

Articulate your thoughts and ideas in order to present your projects

Build collaborative and communication skills as you work with your new friends!

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.
