Introduction to Making & Coding

Build, wire, and code your first gadgets. In Introduction to Making & Coding, students learn hands-on foundations with Micro:bit, breadboards, and safe electronic components. Through mini-challenges, live demos, and a small project each session, they gain confidence and creative problem-solving skills.

What students learn

Quantum Maker Studio inspires kids through science, coding, and hands-on making.

Build circuits and electronics

Learn circuits and electronic assembly

Learn the basics of electricity flow, switches, and resistors while creating colorful light displays.

Cross-Disciplinary Thinking

Prototyping and design thinking

Kids sketch, test, and improve their ideas. They build quick prototypes out of simple materials before refining into working devices.

Scaffolded Progression

Coding with MakeCode & Scratch

Drag-and-drop coding brings projects to life. Students learn block coding through Micro:bit boards and create interactive games with Scratch.

Small Group Classes

Maker Tools & Materials

Students get hands-on with real tools, from wire strippers to craft supplies, and learn safe handling while bringing ideas to life.

Modern Pedagogy

Collaboration & Teamwork

Small groups encourage peer learning. Students take turns as builders, coders, and testers, building communication and problem-solving skills.

International-Style Education

Creativity & Grit

Every project pushes students to troubleshoot. They gain resilience by testing, failing, and improving, essential for STEM and beyond.

Sample Projects

See what your child will build in our hands-on maker classes

Microbit Music project
🎸

Microbit Music

Make music with code and circuits.

Students first learn about the scientific principles of conductivity, using fruit to play music! Then they design their own musical instrument, wired to the Micro:bit.

With Scratch and MakeCode, they program buttons and sensors to play notes, loops, and sound effects—blending art, coding, and electronics.

Conductivity Inputs Sound & Loops
LED Lamp project
💡

LED Lamp

Engineering meets creativity.

Kids build a working LED lamp, learning how circuits, resistors, and switches control electricity safely.

They design and decorate the lamp’s housing—every lamp is unique and practical to take home.

Circuits Resistors Switches & Design
Balloon Rocket Racer project
🚀

Balloon Rocket Racer

Physics and coding in action.

Students assemble a small racer with wheels, motors, and a Micro:bit “brain.” They start with a sketch, then move to assembly and prototyping the physical build.

They also code the Micro:bit to calculate and display speed—introducing physics, math, and variables.

How We Teach

Structured methods that make learning fun, rigorous, and memorable through interactive experiences.

1

Google Classroom Integration

Students access lesson slides, coding files, and resources online — helping them review and share projects from home with seamless connectivity.

2

Worksheets & Project Binders

Each child builds a binder of circuits, diagrams, and notes — creating a personal record of their progress across the term and celebrating achievements.

3

Hands-On + Digital Tools

We blend real-world making with cutting-edge apps for immersive learning:

  • MakeCode for Micro:bit coding adventures
  • Scratch for interactive games and storytelling
  • Tinkercad for virtual electronics exploration
4

Clear Learning Outcomes

Every session has defined goals (e.g., “wire a breadboard,” “program a buzzer”), so progress is visible to both students and parents with measurable milestones.

5

Focus on Grit & Resilience

Kids face problems, test solutions, and persist through challenges — building a cornerstone of STEM learning and developing life-long problem-solving skills.
