Tiny Hands, Mega Minds. At Coding Lab, we believe that age and size do not matter when it comes to coding and tinkering. At preschool ages, it's important to select educational toys for our budding tots to achieve their key milestones in life. Here are some great ideas for a headstart in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM)!

Photon Robot

Our Educator passionately sharing with our Junior Coders how Photon Robot works

Photon robots are an adorable introduction to hands-on robotics for tiny tots, and that's exactly why we include it in our Junior Coders Programme curriculum.

With an iPad, little ones can tinker and program their interactive and educational Photon companion to make sounds, lights and go on a treasure hunt! It's perfect to improve their logical thinking skills and build up the basic computational skills – all essential life skills and basics of STEAM.

Magna-Tiles

Hands-on, screens off! Think building blocks – tiles – but magnetic. You have Magna-Tiles. 

These 3-dimensional magnetic building sets stand by encouraging and integrating math, science, creativity and imagination. The vibrant tiles have magnetic sides that come in various shapes and sizes for your child to connect them together with a ‘click’ sound.

A butterfly, a castle, your child can build anything! The simple idea behind Magna-Tiles is that if you can click it, you can create it.
