FAQs

Item1

What is the Elite Coder Certification Program

Elite Coder is the first formalized assessment in Singapore issued by Singapore Science Centre Global and Computhink, in partnership with Flying Cape.

The assessment is designed to map student’s mastery of coding fundamentals at 3 different levels – basic, intermediate, and advanced. The assessment has been developed based on CSTA K–12 Computer Science Standards, an internationally recognized set of standards outlining the skills and knowledge students need to grow and thrive in the digital world.

Upon completing each assessment level, students will receive a scorecard indicating their level of proficiency and a e-certification awarded by Singapore Science Centre Global

What is the CSTA Computer Science Standards?

CSTA (Computer Science Teacher Association) standards are based on industry best practices, so students who learn to code using these standards will be better prepared for future careers in the digitalised world of tomorrow. By learning industry-standard coding practices at a young age, students will be better equipped to succeed in college, internships, and jobs in the technology industry.

In summary, coding standards such as CSTA for K-12 students are important because they provide consistency, quality, collaboration, and industry relevance in coding practices. By following these standards, students can become better coders and more successful in their future careers.

What is the Coding Platform used in the Elite Coder Program?

The Elite Coder program uses the CodeMonkey platform. CodeMonkey is an online platform that teaches kids real coding languages like CoffeeScript and Python. Children and teenagers learn block-based and text-based coding through an engaging game-like environment.

What are the entry level requirements for this program?

Elite Coder is a 3-level certification program. Students will need to take the Basic, Intermediate and Advanced assessments before being awarded Certified Elite Coder certification.

What is the duration of each assessment?

The assessment for all levels will take one hour. The assessment will be conducted at Computhink @ Toa Payoh Library.

Do you provide a certificate upon completion of this course?

Students who successfully complete the certification will get an e-certificate and a scorecard endorsed by the Singapore Science Centre.
