In today’s digital age, equipping children with coding skills is more than a trend—it’s essential. At Heritage Academy Singapore, we recognize the importance of preparing our students for a technology-driven future. 
That’s why we’ve introduced a comprehensive Coding Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) programme, utilizing the Scratch programming platform, to foster creativity, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities in our students.

Coding isn’t just about writing programs; it’s about developing a mindset that embraces challenges and seeks solutions. Through coding, students learn to:
-
Think Critically: Break down complex problems into manageable parts.
-
Enhance Creativity: Design and build their own interactive stories and games.
-
Build Resilience: Learn from mistakes through debugging and refining their projects.
Why Scratch?
Scratch, developed by MIT, is a user-friendly visual programming language designed for young learners. Its intuitive interface allows students to create projects by snapping together code blocks, making it an ideal introduction to programming concepts. As noted by Coding Lab, Scratch serves as a “low-floor and high-ceiling” platform, accommodating beginners while offering depth for advanced projects.Programme Overview
