Weekly group (Scratch, Python): S\$220-450/month. Weekly robotics programme: S\$350-700/month. Intensive multi-day programme: S\$450-900/month. Private coding tutor: S\$80-200/session. 5-day holiday bootcamp: S\$400-1,500. Competitive programming (NOI prep): S\$500-1,200/month.
Age-appropriate progression: block-based (Scratch, ScratchJr, Blockly) for ages 6-9, transitioning to text-based (Python, JavaScript) at ages 9-12. Programmes keeping students on blocks past age 10 are stalling. Programmes pushing Python on 6-year-olds without foundation are also problematic. Ask about the curriculum progression path.
Different skills. Coding-only (Scratch, Python, game development) focuses on logic, algorithms, problem-solving. Robotics adds physical engineering — building, wiring, sensor integration. For children interested in hardware, robotics (LEGO Mindstorms, Arduino, Raspberry Pi) teaches broader STEM skills. Children interested in software alone do fine without robotics.
Ideally: Computer Science degree, software engineering experience, or research background. A generic educator with a 40-hour coding certification course often can't answer students' actual coding questions beyond scripted curriculum. Ask about the lead instructor's professional coding background — that's the quality signal.
For exposure to new topics or as a taster, yes. For serious learning, no — coding is learned through sustained practice, not intense bursts. 5-day bootcamps at S\$800-1,500 produce a superficial project and enthusiasm but not lasting skill. Weekly term-time programmes at S\$280-500/month build cumulative skill that bootcamps can't match.
