SINCE 2012 · ORCHARD ROAD & ONLINE
Computational thinking, coding and AI for young learners
Small-class coding for ages 5 to 18, in person on Orchard Road and online over Zoom. Since 2012 we've taught more than 3,000 children to think, build software, and work through problems methodically, instead of copying code from a screen.
WHY US IN an AI world
The code was never the point.
Since 2012 we've taught children to break a problem apart, spot the pattern, and build the answer. This is computational thinking, and it's the skill that sits underneath the code.
AI can write the code now. It can't do that thinking for your child. And the more it writes, the more that thinking is what sets them apart. We've taught it from the start. We just teach it sharper now.
COMPUTATIONAL THINKING, SINCE 2012
Six desks. One teacher. Something built every class.
No lectures, no worksheets. Learners open their laptops and build actual software: a game, an animation, a program that does what they want it to. The teacher sits beside them, not in front of them. They are not gaming or play with toy apps. They are learning how software is built, while practicing problem solving.
Turn a blank screen into something that didn't exist before. An idea becomes a real, working thing.
Care how it's made, not just that it runs. Polish it. Find the bug. Make it better.
Build alongside others, look at each other's work, and learn that your way isn't the only way.
Explain what you made and why. Showing your thinking is half the work.
The tool, not the goal. MIT Scratch, then Python. The language changes; the thinking doesn't.
Break a problem into parts, test each part, put it back together. Think it through, step by step.
Their first taste of making something real. They drag blocks in Scratch, watch it come alive on screen, and build little games before they can even read the code behind them.
From player to maker. They move from Scratch toward real code, building games and animations with proper logic underneath: loops, variables, the works.
Real Python, the language behind Google, NASA and every AI lab. In person at Orchard Road or live online over Zoom, writing programs that actually do something, not toy exercises.
For students who've finished the Python track and want to keep going. A self-directed research project with mentorship, building something portfolio-ready for university and beyond.
The people behind it.
A Computer Science graduate of NUS. She started LCCL in 2012 with one room and the belief that every child can build something real — and still teaches.
An associate professor at the NUS School of Computing with three decades teaching algorithms and computational thinking. He advises what we teach and how it maps to each age.
Stay in the loop.
Holiday camps, new programmes and the occasional thing worth knowing. No spam, and you can leave any time.
Or just message us on WhatsApp.
Come see what your child can do.
One class. They'll build something real, and you'll see it click. The trial fee comes off your first month if you enrol.
