STEAM Education is our new set of ICT Training programs that involves an element of coding, but there are stronger hardware elements in STEAM Education such as Robotics and Internet of Things (loT) enabled microcontrollers.
Taking on the Smart Nation initiative to help make Singapore a Coding Nation, ACP introduced – STEAM Education. A diverse array of training and educational courses aimed to impart coding and programming skills to the future of Singapore, through engaging, creative and fun courses conducted in schools. We aim to make Singapore a more connected nation and to equip the next generation with the right skills of tomorrow. STEAM Education aims to fulfill the nation’s Smart Nation vision by empowering the minds of our kids by making them interested, excited and knowledgeable in coding and programming. Kids of all ages enjoy hands-on construction activities, so that aspect of robotics is accessible across the board; further, abilities in this area vary widely within an age group, which allows individuals to achieve mastery and demonstrate competence.
Computational Thinking Out of the Box
At ACP, we advocate young learners to learn computational skills with our specially tailored coding and programming courses. We have been in the education scene for more than 2 decades now. Hence, we are competent to engage the learners to pick up new skills as well as to stay relevant in the digital economy. During the lessons, the learners are given plenty of opportunities to apply their new skills to solve real world problems. We have varied courses ranging from Robotics, Internet of Things (IoT) and coding. You may visit our exclusive Brand – Kidscode to learn about our pedagogy, training methodology and more!
