Course Overview
Our CFF 2025 Scheme of Work
Our programme is designed around the See, Think and Act framework. This is a structured approach used to enhance understanding, decision-making, and action whilst helping students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We believe adoption of this framework will help spark curiosity about technology and allows students to see how technology is used in the real world, providing them confidence in using technology in work and life and to solve problems for their community. We will be using Padlet for all lessons. We believe that using Padlet in the classroom can significantly enhance student engagement, provide flexibility for different learning abilities, and support meaningful formative assessments.
Lesson Outcomes
Code for Fun for Primary Schools
The Code for Fun programme offers upper primary students 10 hours of lessons on computational thinking, coding, and introduction to emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Through the programme, students will:
- Learn about core computational thinking concepts and how it can be applied to daily life.
- Understand basic programming concepts such as debugging, events, loops, variables, functions, and conditionals.
- Develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Discover how emerging technologies such as AI are part of, and influence our daily lives.
Code for Fun for Secondary Schools
For secondary school students, Code for Fun strengthens students’ inventive thinking, design thinking and digital making skills and complements Ministry of Education (MOE)’s EdTech Masterplan 2030 and other existing technology-related curriculum.
The programme offers 10 hours of lessons which:
- Focuses on digital making and design prototyping using microcontrollers.
- Reinforces students’ digital literacy and understanding through practical project work and real-world examples.
- Includes two programming tracks for schools to choose from – block-based programming and text-based programming.
The following enhancements to the Code for Fun programme were introduced from 2023:
1. Training hardware will be delivered by a vendor and funded by IMDA and MOE HQ. Schools can also choose between a vendor delivering student training or conducting it internally.
2. Better integration with schools’ Applied Learning Programmes (ALP) via student projects involving ALP themes such as sustainability and the future of transportation.
3. Inclusion of emerging tech through hands-on project work using hardware such as AI-enabled camera.
