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.

From 2025, the programme also offers an additional 10 hours of lessons focused on applying Emerging Technologies to digital making, such as delving deeper into Artificial Intelligence (AI), including Generative AI.

The following enhancements to the Code for Fun programme were introduced from 2023:
