The Young Maker is a top provider of coding and robotics classes for kids in Singapore, trusted by national agencies such as Ministry of Education (MOE), Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), National Library Singpaore (NLB) and more. We are committed to lifting the next generation through high-quality digital learning, empowering students with the future-ready skills that Singapore’s and the global digital economy demands.
Coding and robotics support MOE’s digital literacy framework and the development of 21st Century Competencies. These include critical thinking, self-directed learning, collaboration, and ethical use of technology. Programmes like ALP and Computing subjects help students apply knowledge to real-world contexts.
MOE does not require coding as a compulsory examinable subject for all students. However, MOE strongly supports exposure to coding through programmes such as Code for Fun, Applied Learning Programmes (ALP), Computing subjects, and digital literacy initiatives. This ensures all students gain foundational computational thinking skills.
Many MOE primary schools offer Applied Learning Programmes in STEM, robotics programmes for primary students, and emerging technologies education. ALP is non-examinable and focuses on real-world application of knowledge. Parents should review individual school websites or MOE SchoolFinder for details on ALP STEM offerings.
The Code for Fun programme is a national enrichment initiative supported by MOE and IMDA. It introduces upper primary students to computational thinking, coding for kids, and artificial intelligence for children. Students learn block-based programming, algorithms, logical reasoning, and problem-solving. These foundational skills support STEM education in Singapore and prepare students for future coding and robotics pathways.
MOE 21CC refers to the 21st Century Competencies framework developed by Singapore’s Ministry of Education. It defines the core skills, values, and dispositions students need to thrive in a complex, technology-driven world. It is a whole-education framework that guides curriculum design, teaching approaches, ALPs, CCAs, and assessment emphasis across schools.
Secondary school ALPs focus on applied STEM education, including robotics, artificial intelligence education, data analytics, and emerging technologies. These programmes emphasise hands-on learning and real-world problem-solving.
The O-Level Computing syllabus covers computational thinking, algorithms, programming, data representation, and systems thinking. It prepares students for STEM careers, computing courses, engineering pathways, and technology-related professions.
The Singapore-Cambridge O Level 7155 Computing syllabus is organised into four core modules:
Assessment consists of two compulsory papers:
Paper 1: Written Examination (70%)
Tests knowledge, understanding, and application across all four modules through structured and short-answer questions.
Paper 2: Lab-Based Practical Examination (30%)
Tests data management (spreadsheets) and programming. Students complete debugging, refinement, and program development tasks within a controlled environment.
Feature: Students had the opportunity to see the urban farm at work where crops are grown in mineralized, pesticide free and controlled environment.
