[quote=YJessica post_id=1994469 time=1599623686 user_id=180797]I can see my son is showing interest with robotics, is it possible to just learn online?

He can start by learning some coding and logic. There should be courses available (some are free especially the basic ones).

If you have an iPad, there is a free app Swift Playgrounds (by Apple). Refer to the links below:-
https://www.straitstimes.com/tech/games ... arn-coding
https://www.apple.com/sg/swift/playgrounds/

You can also buy a set of Arduino from Amazon.

My DS started from scratch and had lots of fun with Swift Playgrounds and Arduino after his PSLE. It probably laid a good foundation and he did very well for his computer studies during Year 1 in his school.

All the best to your son!

Had a quick check on Apple Swift playground. Wow, it looks fun.
Going to show my boy and see if he likes it. Thanks for sharing this

.[/quote]Yes, Apple Swift Playgrounds is pretty cool, and it use to run only on ipad, but now also able to run on Mac.

Another option will be python which can be used for Web Development, Games, Applications, Graphics, Data Science etc

Depending on your kid's age,
You can start the kid on ScratchJr/Hopscotch (6-8) /Scratch (7-12)
For physical robot, you can start out using mBot (using Scratch platform cost abt $150) as Lego EV3 may be much more costly (bet $300+ to 600)
Of course, there are others, like FlipRobot, Qdee robot(using microbit), Dash, Dot etc

Who have tried programming classes for kids online? does it work for your kids?

Yes.
It really depends very much on the trainer's experience, and know-how of the platform

Mobile Apps vs Web Apps - What is the difference? Why does it matter?

The simple way to look at this is:
Mobile Apps is an application build for the mobile phone and functions inside it, and less likely to be able to run on the web.

A Web Apps is a responsive application that runs on large device like computers (windows/Macbook), tablets (android/iOS), and mobile phones (android/iOS), so the screen size and application built adjusts and responds accordingly as it runs mostly on the browser

Hi! I'm teaching my nephews programming, and it's more fun when we can design a white belt to black belt system (just like in martial arts). I'm searching for a website where you can upload your avatar and me, as a teacher, can say when they leveled up and 'advanced' level-wise. Does someone know of anything like that? I'm not finding any. Thanks!

You can google and find those Game-based Learning platform, or Gamification platform, which level the learners up.
It depends on the points scored (eXperience points gained) and decision like how much points is each level.

hello, i am currrently using POSB.

1) how do i cease my 'cheque book'

2) There is always this $2 deductable monthly account fee from my posb acc. but the thing is, my acc balance is not below their required balance. could the $2 be due to maintaning my cheque book?

You can go for cimb star saver account, which doesn't charge for cheque as long as you maintain the acct above the min sum (cannot remember the min sum , but around $1000?)
