Coding involves providing a computer with instructions in a language it can comprehend. Electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops rely on code to operate effectively. Given that humans cannot directly communicate with computers, coding serves as an intermediary, translating human instructions into binary code.

Coding has become a universal language in today's interconnected world. In the midst of our fast-evolving society, computer programming skills have become indispensable for children to secure a stable future. To excel in this competitive landscape, both you and your child can benefit greatly from enhancing your coding abilities. The contemporary job market places a premium on software developers, offering substantial compensation compared to many other professions. Moreover, coding enhances your child's brain development and cognitive skills, providing valuable intellectual growth

Select a Programming Language: You start by choosing a programming language such as Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript. Each language has its own syntax and purpose. Writing Code: In the chosen programming language, you write a series of instructions or commands that specify what you want the computer to do. These instructions can range from simple calculations to complex tasks. Creating Algorithms: Coding often involves designing algorithms, which are step-by-step procedures for solving a specific problem. Algorithms are like recipes for the computer to follow. Debugging: As you write code, errors or bugs may occur. Debugging is the process of identifying and fixing these errors to ensure the code works correctly. Testing: After writing and debugging your code, you test it to make sure it produces the desired results. Testing helps identify any remaining issues that need to be addressed. Compilation or Interpretation: Depending on the programming language, your code is either compiled or interpreted. Compilation converts the code into machine code that the computer can directly execute. Interpretation, on the other hand, translates and executes the code line by line. Execution: Once the code is free of errors and successfully compiled or interpreted, you can run the program. The computer follows the instructions you provided and performs the intended tasks. Output: The program generates output based on the instructions you've given. This output could be anything from text displayed on the screen to complex calculations or data processing. Iteration and Improvement: Often, coding involves an iterative process. You may need to refine and improve your code based on feedback, changing requirements, or performance issues. Deployment: When your code is ready for real-world use, you deploy it on the appropriate platform or environment, making it accessible to users. Coding is a creative and problem-solving process, and the specific details can vary depending on the programming language and the task at hand. It requires logical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to break down complex problems into manageable steps.

Yes. We do provide a free trial class for each level. This allows students and parents to come and see how enjoyable and educational our programs are.

Each free trial class runs one hour.

We only offer one trial class per student, per program level.

For the first 50 minutes, the teacher will work on a project with the students. For the final 10 minutes, parents and students can ask questions such as: How do we register for the regular classes? What are the available slots for the classes? How do we make payment? When do we make payment? How long will each program level take to complete? Will we get a certificate at the end of each program level? Do we have any exams or final projects at the end of each program level? What are the curriculum details for this program level? If we miss a class what will happen? If we want to go on vacation for a longer period of time, how do we handle that?

First, you should talk to the SC4K admin over the phone or through email and get the available time slots for your child's level. Choose the time slot suitable for your needs. Provide the details requested by the admin for the student's registration. Make payment. Get the Zoom details for online classes. Begin regular classes. Check-in on your child's progress with the teacher or the admin of SC4K. Provide your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback to improve the quality of our services.
