Wouldn’t it be great to learn computational skills in a fun and easy way? That’s exactly what we do at Tinker! Students are learning about the “random” concept, which is a very important concept in computational skills as well in math. How does Ozobot help to learn computational skills? Students [...]
Is your child having difficulty in math? Do you want your child to get higher math scores at school? K-Math provides customized learning based on analyzing each student's math competency! Before our official K-Math launch in September, we held a one-week showcase class. K-Math is different since [...]
Our i:Spy 2 class students learn science principles by doing experiments and applying them to real life. This class is comprised of students aged 5-7 years old, and they learn science concepts and principles that match Grades 1 and 2 of the U.K. curriculum. Our students recently learned about the life [...]
Can you explain what an algorithm is? It seems like a difficult concept, right? Algorithm is a solution to solving a problem, which is based on conducting a sequence of specified actions. But our Tinker students aged 5-7 have proved their understanding of algorithms! How? With the help of [...]
One of our goals at Tinker is to enable students to become problem-solvers! We all meet challenges in life, but by developing problem-solving skills, we can seek solutions. We use several methods at Tinker to cultivate students’ problem-solving skills. One way is to have students self-manage themselves. This [...]
How often do you water your plants? Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a device that watered plants for you? Our students at Tinker made a device with Micro:bit that waters plants when they need water. Micro:bit is a open-source hardware that you can code to make diverse creations. [...]
What is Scratch? Scratch is a free programming language where you use blocks to create your own interactive stories, games, and animations. So, knowing how to use blocks to make scripts is crucial when coding on Scratch. At Tinker, we focus on helping students to understand and grasp the principle [...]
Have you ever wanted to make a robot? At Tinker, students made their own robots with milk cartons. This is no ordinary milk carton robot! This robot can move its arms! How is this possible you ask? By coding with Micro:bit, students can control the servo motor. They also [...]
At Tinker Education, collaboration is key to learning. We foster this through teamwork strategies such as Pair Programming in our coding classes. Pair Programming involves 2 students using 1 computer to work on the same project. Each student has a specific role. One is known as the DRIVER and the [...]
Our i:Code 2 class students made their own guitar by coding and with artistic talents! How? By using corrugated paper to build the guitar's body, and Micro:bit to play the tone and beat. The students also coded Micro:bit so that the light sensor detects the brightness on the LED [...]
