Kidzie Tech Lab was launched in 2024. Tech Lab is the acronym of Technology Laboratory. This program is targeted for primary and secondary school children. It is also especially for students to have an introduction to Computer Science.
There are 2 categories of the Tech Lab program.
- Primary school students. (Standard class)
- Secondary school students. (Intensive class)
The major difference of the 2 categories is in terms of course durations. Students who are capable to speed up on their learning will advance to the intensive classes. On standard classes, the course will approximately take 1 year to complete for each level, spending about 2 hours per week on each of the first 11 lessons, and 1-3 months for students to complete the final project at the end. Of course, we are also free to customize the curriculum to meet individual school or student/parents’ convenient time. Hence, the approximate duration is just a generic guide.
On a helicopter view, the courses are divided into 2 levels as described here:
Level 1: edu:bit
- Intro to block coding
- Step-by-step guided hands-on coding
Level 2: zoom:bit
- Intro to robotic
- Self-guided hands-on coding
Exam:
- Project to create a new invention
- Poster presentation of the project and the codes
- Online test
