A micro:bit is a pocket-sized, open source hardware computer in which students code on the laptop and transfer to see live outcome. Did you know that you can code for your micro:bit to enable it to read the temperature and Compass (direction) of your surroundings? Check out how Tinker students [...]
WHO AM I? Reading and sharing stories are a great way to learn sounds, recognize words, and develop early literacy skills. Instead of writing a long composition, Tinker students use their imagination to tell their own story through coding. How? With Scratch block-based coding, students IMAGINE themselves [...]
Mathematicians seek and use patterns to formulate a new idea. They resolve the truth or falsity of speculations using the mathematical proof. This is why it’s important to equip our children at their young age with these mathematical concepts for problem solving ability. Our young learners use mathematics to [...]
At the end of every term, Tinker Education holds holiday bootcamps that allow for students in boarding school and those unable to join our term program* to come and experience our fun learning. Check out what students were up to during the Bootcamp. Junior Coding with Scratch JR Students [...]
The 2019 1st term is over! It has been a great three months building, innovating and coding. It’s been fun and we can’t wait to see what the 2nd term has in-store! During the Open Day, we welcomed our parents into the classroom to experience the fun of STEM. Students [...]
Coding is not just going to the computer and starting to type in the scripts. Programming/Coding requires a well thought out and written plan. It requires a clear algorithm or flowchart to follow through while writing the scripts. An algorithm is a computer procedure which is like a recipe, [...]
Pair programming is an easy programming technique in which two programmers work together at one workstation. One programmer, the driver, writes codewhile the other, the observer or navigator, reviews each line of code as it is typed. The two programmers frequently switch roles to code and debug in real time. [...]
Did you see our i:Block 1 students (ages 5-7) making their own animation using Scratch Junior. They made their cars to drive across town. If you missed it check out here: http://tinkeredu.net/animate-your-car-to-drive-with-scratch/ Today we look at one among other interesting projects of our Stage 2 students (ages 8-10), who [...]
There are so many great projects that can be created with Python programming. Today, we look at rolling the dice game made by the i:Imagine class. This game requires the understanding of randomness. For example, in real life every time you toss a dice, you get a random number, [...]
Tinker Education students use creativity, communication, and artistic skills to express themselves. In the STEAM program, i:Block students enjoy using everyday materials to create beautiful pieces of Art. The process is fun and very easy to do. Let's check out how these young i:Block 1 students went about making [...]
