Learing how to code with Train Adventures

As part of the Official Opening of the Bukit Panjang Library, we conducted a series of coding workshops for preschoolers. The theme, Train Adventures with code provided loads of fun and entertainment as they learnt how to program their trains.

Stories x Coding: Nursery Rhymes, Stories, Adventures and more!


In our specially curated preschool coding programme, kids will learn how to code with a new story every lesson!

With familiar favourites inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Five Little Monkeys and more, kids get to dramatise and program each other to act out the iconic scenes in the book, followed by putting it together in a digital tablet animation*!

Come join us on a Coding Adventure which brings your child through the jungle, mischief in the house, showing their love for Daddy, and finally a wondrous train ride filled with bumps and turns. It is bound to excite your little coder, and they will never see their favourite books in the same way again!

Pointing out the part of the code that makes the train grow bigger (Official Re-Opening of Bukit Panjang Library)

Our proprietary, award-winning MIT-inspired curriculum builds up your child’s understanding of the coding language and inspires them to think logically. Your child will be able to understand how to use coding blocks and sequence them in the right manner to form a story or a mini game. Concepts such as loops, motion and Events will be incorporated in class, in a way that the children will pick it up in a natural and fun way, all with minimal screen time. Through a combination of Reading, Drama, Kinaesthetic learning and craftwork, your child will learn computational thinking and problem-solving in a novel and exciting manner.

On top of that, there will be special tinkering sessions on selected days where surprise tech gadgets are brought in for kids to tinker with (Think: mBot Robot car / Cubetto – it’ll be a surprise!)

Books /Themes used:
– The Very Hungry Caterpillar
– Five Little Monkeys
– Sports and Games
– Jungle Safari
– Train Adventures with Code

*1-2 selected scenes in the book
