Science Experiment
Air pressure is one of those things that are strange because we can't see it, yet it is really powerful. It holds up airplanes, blows down trees, etc. Gakken Classroom will show you how a real giant hovercraft works!
Our instructor will be presenting spectacular and action-packed experiments using 'air'. We will explore the weight of air and how powerful an air vortex is.
Through fun activities, Gakken Classroom inspires kids ages 4 to 12 to explore and learn about the amazing world of science. Gakken Science Experiment Classroom has a history of more than 60 years, and we have developed a proprietary, Japanese syllabus-based and proven curriculum designed to inspire young kids in science.
Come join us for fun and engaging science experiments on 16 & 17 July (Saturday & Sunday) from 12:00pm to 1:00pm.
Computer Programming for Kids & Teens
Enhance your computational thinking skills using modern approaches in math & computer science! In this activity, students will learn how to write simple codes and design algorithm as a problem-solving technique!
This aims to demystify computer science and programming to show kids that it is fun, collaborative, and creative!
Students with the best output will get to win and learn the fundamentals of Mobile App Development, Electronics, Python Language, Web Development, and more in 50 Hours of Code Class with FREE K-BOX worth RM3,500.00. 2nd and 3rd Prize is 16 Hours of Code and Consolation Prize for all participants is 3 Hours Trial Class Voucher.
Robotics for All with VEX Robotics
One of the greatest things about VEX Robotics, is that whilst kids are having fun, they are developing knowledge and an edge in engineering, science or technology - providing skills proven to help them perform better in education and employment later in life.
Supported by curriculum from Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Academy - one of the world’s top robotics research institutions; kids experience STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) in a fun and engaging way.
Come participate in our competitive mission to try how robotic toys teach STEM principles through hands on learning. Kids can hone their Hand-eye coordination; Timing; Patience; Strategy; Teamwork and more.
Mission: Hands-on Experience with Robots and Problem-solving [daily from 4.30pm-5.30pm].
Prizes: Top 6 fastest participants wins a HEXBUG
