11.01.2022 Coding is the new go to language for the next generation and our STEAM students are already getting a head start on their peers!! Our video here shows them using coding to operate robots, drones and hovercraft....but we are not just teaching the basics. We envisage coding to become like a second language for our STEAM students that will open up a future of career paths that havent even been created yet!... Our students are developing the cognitive agility, flexibility and creativity needed to go beyond what is known and to use their talents to explore, discover and create a whole new world, and great hope for the future.

11.01.2022 My son had been regularly going to sessions and workshops by LSCK and STEAM Elite Club during school holidays. Each time he would come back home and said with k...een eyes, "Did you know what I learned today?" What followed was an rocket speed explanation and description of what transpired throughout his day. "Breathe and slow down." I said. What's interesting for me is that despite my wife being a digital designer and the fact that we have a 3D printer at home, LSCK managed to pump a genuine interest in him on learning marketing, graphics design, and 3D printing. I recognise that as parents we strove to educate our son the best we could but as I had the opportunities to chat with LSCK instructors, I also recognise that there are other factors that LSCK has that we lack that influenced our son's learning in a positive way: - A safe, friendly, constructive and condusive group of peers and mentors - Breadth and wealth of knowledge from the instructors to act as subject matter experts - Adequate facilities, equipments, and peripherals - Balance of time and focus to cover a topic adequately I'm grateful to have spoken to Lisa Duong and to find out more about LSCK and STEAM Elite Club. I'm glad to find out that their teaching philosophy is greatly aligned to our values and that she, being one of the esteemed leaders, has a personal vision and great passion about young children education. Both my wife and I are without a doubt confident that these sessions and workshops are not only perfect complements to the mainstream education, but they are crucial to the success of young children to grow up to be more wholesome people with appropriate life skills to live fulfilling lives. Sure 3D printing are seen as toys by some, but with the right level of education early on, children may well be contributing to the medical industry and saving lives sooner than later.

03.01.2022 Want your kids to increase their IQ level? Enroll them to our Chess and Brain Training Workshop. LSCK Chess Workshop this July School Holidays will be conducted... by Chess Coach Kai Zhou (Michael) from Norwest Chess Academy. 10 Big Brain benefits of playing Chess 1. It can raise your IQ One study has shown that moving those knights and rooks around can in fact raise a persons intelligence quotient. A study of 4,000 Venezuelan students produced significant rises in the IQ scores of both boys and girls after 4 months of chess instruction. 2. It helps prevent Alzheimers Because the brain works like a muscle, it needs exercise like any bicep or quad to be healthy and ward off injury. A recent study featured in The New England Journal of Medicine found that people over 75 who engage in brain-stretching activities like chess are less likely to develop dementia than their non-board-game-playing peers. Just like an un-exercised muscle loses strength, Dr. Robert Freidland, the studys author, found that unused brain tissue leads to a loss of brain power. 3. It exercises both sides of the brain In a German study, researchers showed chess experts and novices simple geometric shapes and chess positions and measured the subjects reactions in identifying them. They expected to find the experts left brains being much more active, but they did not expect the right hemisphere of the brain to do so as well. Their reaction times to the simple shapes were the same, but the experts were using both sides of their brains to more quickly respond to the chess position questions. 4. It increases your creativity Since the right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for creativity, it should come as no surprise that activating the right side of your brain helps develop your creative side. Specifically, chess greatly increases originality. One four-year study had students from grades 7 to 9 play chess, use computers, or do other activities once a week for 32 weeks to see which activity fostered the most growth in creative thinking. The chess group scored higher in all measures of creativity, with originality being their biggest area of gain. 5. It improves your memory Chess players know as an anecdote that playing chess improves your memory. Being a good player means remembering how your opponent has operated in the past and recalling moves that have helped you win before. But theres hard evidence also. In a two-year study in 1985, young students who were given regular opportunities to play chess improved their grades in all subjects, and their teachers noticed better memory and better organizational skills in the kids. A similar study of Pennsylvania sixth-graders found similar results. Students who had never before played chess improved their memories and verbal skills after playing. 6. It increases problem-solving skills A chess match is like one big puzzle that needs solving, and solving on the fly, because your opponent is constantly changing the parameters. Nearly 450 fifth-grade students were split into three groups in a 1992 study in New Brunswick. Group A was the control group and went through the traditional math curriculum. Group B supplemented the math with chess instruction after first grade, and Group C began the chess in first grade. On a standardized test, Group Cs grades went up to 81.2% from 62% and outpaced Group A by 21.46%. 7. It improves reading skills In an oft-cited 1991 study, Dr. Stuart Margulies studied the reading performance of 53 elementary school students who participated in a chess program and evaluated them compared to non-chess-playing students in the district and around the country. He found definitive results that playing chess caused increased performance in reading. In a district where the average students tested below the national average, kids from the district who played the game tested above it. 8. It improves concentration Chess masters might come off like scattered nutty professors, but the truth is their antics during games are usually the result of intense concentration that the game demands and improves in its players. Looking away or thinking about something else for even a moment can result in the loss of a match, as an opponent is not required to tell you how he moved if you didnt pay attention. Numerous studies of students in the U.S., Russia, China, and elsewhere have proven time and again that young peoples ability to focus is sharpened with chess. 9. It grows dendrites Dendrites are the tree-like branches that conduct signals from other neural cells into the neurons they are attached to. Think of them like antennas picking up signals from other brain cells. The more antennas you have and the bigger they are, the more signals youll pick up. Learning a new skill like chess-playing causes dendrites to grow. But that growth doesnt stop once youve learned the game; interaction with people in challenging activities also fuels dendrite growth, and chess is a perfect example. 10. It teaches planning and foresight Having teenagers play chess might just save their lives. It goes like this: one of the last parts of the brain to develop is the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for planning, judgment, and self-control. So adolescents are scientifically immature until this part develops. Strategy games like chess can promote prefrontal cortex development and help them make better decisions in all areas of life, perhaps keeping them from making a stupid, risky choice of the kind associated with being a teenager.

02.01.2022 We believe story telling and communicating our message is a powerful skill. Children should be encouraged to develop their communication skills and learn story telling from a young age. This video demonstrates the development of a child's story from their own imagination, through to the creation of characters, followed by story telling using animation techniques.... All developed by a student with just a little guidance from our facilitator. So much talent can be discovered if given the opportunity to shine.
