Building on their prior knowledge from our Start with Scratch course, kids will level up, and learn to create exciting shooting games like this.

From the comforts of home, kids will learn basic concepts of game design while applying advanced Scratch programming concepts to create the games that they’ve always wanted to.
From fun and engaging shooter games, to different kinds of adrenaline-pumping single player games, there is no limit to where creativity takes your child this holiday.

By the end, kids will learn to combine all their learnings throughout the days, into a final game project. This involves coding their own original game that’s both engaging and enjoyable for the whole family.
Check out some of the projects our very own students have created!

Join us this holiday as we venture into the world of games and experience what it’s like being a game developer from home!
Your child will require:
No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we're all about trying things out yourself, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime and how we learn in real life. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make a meaningful impact.
"Colin absolutely enjoyed the programme. He came out of class with shining eyes and said he relished the challenge of Scratch master class. Kudos to his teachers for doing a great job engaging him."
"Shane enjoyed it very much today and he’s looking forward to his class tomorrow morning."
"My son learnt a lot during the camp. He also had a good time. Much appreciation for the teachers' guidance."
If your kid doesn't think it's the best thing ever after attending the first 2 days of holiday camps (or first 3 weeks of term classes), and would like to withdraw, we'll issue you a 50% credit note of the amount paid.
It is recommended that your child try their hand at one of our courses that is aimed at the 5 to 6 age group.
It is highly recommended that the child has prior background in block based programming as this course will refer to concepts taught in that course.
We’ll provide all equipment and materials, but you may want to bring a jacket and light snacks in case he/she gets hungry.
