Coding Minecraft Intro

Start your journey into programming with Java through our Coding Minecraft course! Students will be introduced to the basics of Java (such as what methods, variables, and loops) and learn to think logically through every step, all set within the fun world of Minecraft.

Coding Minecraft Intermediate

Practice all the basic knowledge learned in the introductory level and make them your own. On top of this, learn to gatekeep your code by adding conditionals (such as if statements) into your program too. Start learning to type all your code out too to experience what it is like to be an actual Java programmer!

Coding Minecraft Advanced 

Use everything learnt so far to create larger scale mods for Minecraft, all while still learning some more complex structures within Java. With the larger scale mods, there will be more chances for errors to occur, which would allow students to gain some valuable experience with debugging code for themselves.

Coding Minecraft Master

Other than writing code, Java also requires the use of many files/directories to ensure programmes are running correctly. Learn to do all of that in our Master level for Coding Minecraft! On top of this, students will also be able to learn how to incorporate the use of different file types (such as .png and .json) with their own custom mods. After learning all the content from Coding Minecraft, students can easily continue to other OOP languages such as Python very easily.

Cyber Virtual Robotics Intro

Want to experience virtual robotics but are scared it is too difficult? In this course you will learn all the basic topics of robotics to jumpstart your virtual robotic journey, starting from basic movement of the robot, to the use of different sensors.

Cyber Virtual Robotics Intermediate 

Using Ruby’s excellent navigation tools, help Ruby explore different roads with more realistic physics. This course will encourage students to plan and find the most efficient route using different tools such as the colour sensor to help with precision manoeuvres of Ruby and more.

Cyber Virtual Robotics Master 

This course suits students who have experienced the Intermediate level of cyber virtual robotics to pursue coding robots using Python. In this course, students will learn the basics of using Python to control Ruby to explore different terrains. They need to apply some science ideas and calculations to solve the problems to accomplish the tasks to be the Robot Pioneer!

Wild Animals

Learn about mechanical engineering based on the animal kingdom. In this course, students will build various models, such as lions and birds, in order to learn about how motors and gears function, as well as little facts about the animals themselves.

Rescue Heroes

Learn about mechanical engineering based on natural disasters. In this course, students will build various models, such as a helicopter, in order to learn about how motors and gears function, as well as how natural disasters can be prevented and how people can be rescued.

Micro:bit Intermediate

Use the Micro:bit to create simple games as well as using the radio function of the Micro:bit to communicate with other Micro:bits to create simple gadgets for use. This allows students to gain an insight into how gadgets are created and how they are able to communicate with one another.

Scratch Intermediate

After learning the basics through the Scratch introductory level, step up your Scratch programming skills by going more in-depth about structures in programming that will help any student easily migrate over to any other programming language of their choice, such as App Inventor if students are interested in a more practical application of programming, or Python if students want to learn a more complex language for programming.

AI Coding Intermediate

Students are going to teach machines how to solve problems by applying the machine learning model. They will build more models to extend their knowledge about recognizing coordinates, multiple images, searching information, etc., and will have a deeper understanding of confidence level and how to optimize the training model.

AI Coding Advanced 

In the advanced course, students are going to engage in quasi-real life problems and train machines to solve them. They are going to identify semaphores, research on classifying headlines from newspapers and teach machines how to play noughts and cross. These will be real challenges to foster students to have a deeper understanding of machine learning and the potential of AI for their future. Python will be used in some lessons.
