Hands-on, future-ready learning designed to build coding, creativity, and problem-solving skills
Singapore, November 1, 2024 — XSEED Education has announced the launch of its all-new SuperTeacher Computer Science Program for Grades 1–8, available to schools beginning in the 2025–26 academic year. The program aims to equip children with essential technology and problem-solving skills through a hands-on, age-appropriate approach that blends classroom learning with digital creation.

 

 

Benchmarked to international standards in computer science education, the program features two hands-on, experiential lessons per week: one “unplugged” classroom activity using the XSEED Method to introduce key concepts, followed by a digital lab project that brings those ideas to life through coding and software use.

Starting from age six, students learn the logic and creativity behind computing — beginning with block-based coding using Scratch and progressing to text-based coding in Python, mobile app design, and web development with HTML and CSS in higher grades. Beyond coding, the program explores AI and VR, game design, digital citizenship, and practical digital tools such as word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation design.

Each grade includes newly developed content books and workbooks filled with relatable examples, real-world connections, and step-by-step coding guides. The program also features interactive teacher training sessions and prompts for “Do It Yourself” projects to help adults support children’s learning at home.

A distinctive feature of the curriculum is its focus on collaboration and creativity. Students participate in capstone projects where they design and present original digital creations, applying skills in coding, design, and teamwork.

Importantly, the program requires no expensive hardware or paid software, making it accessible to schools with standard computer labs and internet access. All projects are built using free, open-source tools such as Scratch, MIT App Inventor, and Python.

As with the larger SuperTeacher program, the new Computer Science Program is designed to nurture problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills — empowering children to become creators in the digital age.

“I was impressed by how the program moved quickly to students building their own projects,” said Ananya Jain, a Computer Science student at National University Singapore. “I wish I had something like this when I was younger to prepare me for my current studies!”
