In real life, windmills are used for pumping water, grinding grain and to generate electricity. Windmills produce wind power which is a source of renewable energy that is affordable, clean, and sustainable. To represent this concept, our Tinker 2 student's lesson activity was to invent a windmill using LittleBits.   To launch [...]

In today's lesson, our Tinker Grade 1 students learnt about the concepts of pattern and loop.  In computer programming, a loop simplifies the sequence of repeated instructions. Students made their own yummy necklaces to accomplish the lesson objectives through the procedure Ask + Imagine, Plan, Create + Improve. When students are immersed in an unplugged [...]

Did you know that the star is the most complex of shapes? So, how do you draw the star shape in programming? Following the learning sequence and using mathematical concepts, students skillfully set directions in their mission to "Draw Star Shapes.” Students were able to successfully complete the drawing of a star [...]

Through this activity, the students discovered that algorithmic thinking is necessary in everyday life. They developed algorithmic thinking by building a monster through sequential stages. eLearning Image to Demonstrate the Lesson Topic eLearning Image for Today's Lesson Activity                 Tinker [...]

Tinker students engaged in an experimental cup-throwing activity. They used the LittleBits kit to design a throwing arm that will catapult a projectile accurately into a cup tower. The concept of the lesson was force, distance and mass. From several trials, they tested and improved the efficiency of their throwing arms, each [...]

We had our first TINKER INVENTION FAIR, the children amazed the crowd with their inventions from a Wind-Powered Car to a Water timer. It was an honour to see all the innovative projects that our students came up with through problem-solving and creative thinking. The April Invention Camp was full [...]
