OpenKids Programme · Ages 4–16

STEAM & AI
From Education to Creation.

Coding, AI and engineering taught as real projects — our students are VEX IQ Singapore winners four years running.

The Pathway

How a Child Grows Through STEAM & AI.

  1. 01

    Visual coding and maker foundations · ages 4–8

  2. 02

    Python, AI and app engineering · ages 9–14

  3. 03

    Competition robotics and advanced projects · ages 12–16

In the OpenKids journey, STEAM & AI is the Build” stage (ages 7–12) curiosity becomes code, circuits and real projects.

Inside the Programme

Three Tracks, One Maker

Ages 4–18

Robotics · Engineering Design

From first mechanisms to competition machines — engineering taught through practical challenge, LEGO robotics through to VEX.

Ages 7–18

AI Coding · Computational Thinking

From visual blocks to Python and AI — code as a thinking tool, not a syntax drill.

Ages 7–18

3D Design · Innovation & Creativity

Craft in three dimensions — visualise, prototype and bring ideas to life, ready for tomorrow's design challenges.

A Spiral Curriculum, Five Habits

Key concepts return each year with deeper layers of complexity — carried by five STEAM habits the academy names on every wall:

  • Think like a Scientist

    Question, test, measure.

  • Plan like a Designer

    Sketch it before you build it.

  • Solve like an Engineer

    Constraints are the brief.

  • Imagine like an Artist

    Original beats correct.

  • Reason like a Mathematician

    Work from first principles.

Beyond the Classroom

  • Project studios across 12 fields — game development, drones, VR, film, fashion, architecture
  • VEX IQ & VRC seasons — a Malaysia VEX IQ sweep of team gold, silver and bronze
  • MakeX and LEGO robotics leagues
  • DSA journey — Primary 4 to Secondary 2 portfolio building
  • ART TECH Creative Competition, technology category
