Hey Kiasuparents, We’re Bit by Bit Coding, a groundup that teaches Python for free. No catch, no fees, no experience prerequisites, and no “premium track” hidden behind paywalls. Our mission is to remove financial barriers to deep technical literacy. BbB acts as the zero-cost capstone bridge for passionate students, teaching them data structures, object-oriented programming, and foundational AI/ML at zero cost. We are recognised under the BAGUS Together ecosystem (an initiative by NVPC, Temasek Foundation, and Tote Board), supported by the Singapore Government Partnerships Office (under MCCY), and currently run our main cohorts out of *SCAPE Singapore. We’re also an official programme under Temasek Foundation’s OSCAR Fund. Our work is supported by partners like MSF ComLink+ and Club Rainbow. Term 2 starts mid-July Taster: 4-weeks, no selection tests, no commitment! (Try out the BbB pedagogy, build bonds with like-minded youth, tackle interesting problems, and build the foundation for the next step.) After the four weeks, we’ll ask you if you want to continue. We select the cohort for the 12-weeks from our taster. Slots are highly limited to keep the student-to-tutor ratio low, so that every student can get the best support. Beginner -> Intermediate: 12-weeks, handpicked group of highly-motivated students who want to learn to code and benefit the community. (Our flagship Python programme designed by our highly experienced tutors and industry experts. Highly beginner-friendly, yet rigorous enough for you to build things for the causes you care about.) DON’T MISS OUT: Students who finish our Python core will be offered placements in our future AI/ML and robotics courses, developed and delivered in conjunction with highly experienced industry experts. What you’ll actually learn: Weeks 1–4 (Taster): Python basics — variables, control flow, loops Weeks 5–16 (Beginner→Intermediate): Lists, dicts, functions, File I/O, recursion, sorting algorithms, OOP, linked lists, binary trees — and a 3-week hackathon with prizes Who’s this for? Anyone aged 13–22. Sec 1, sec 4, JC, Poly, ITE or Homeschool. If you’ve never touched code or you’ve been messing around in Scratch and want something real, this is it. Our past cohorts had >75% first-time coders. You don’t need prior experience! What you need: A laptop (or Chromebook/iPad + keyboard) Curiosity Commitment to show up for the lessons Willingness to uplift your community What you don’t need: Money (it’s free) Good grades Experience with coding Why we exist: We filled the gap between free intro programmes (Code for Fun, Code in the Community — mostly Scratch) and private enrichment that costs hundreds a month. We’re recognised under BAGUS Together (NVPC, Temasek Foundation, Tote Board), supported by the Singapore Government Partnerships Office (SGPO, MCCY) and an official programme of the OSCAR fund by the Temasek Foundation. Our tutor team boasts volunteer tutors from NUS, NTU, SP, NYP, HCI and VJC, as well as industry experts. We’re building a community of inspiring students, professionals and changemakers looking to create a space for youths to explore, to learn, to grow, and then to love. For far too long, coding has been locked behind stereotypes (of what it is, and who gets to learn it) and expensive programmes. Bit by Bit aims to shatter those misconceptions and build a community of like-minded youths and mentors who believe that coding is not just a hobby, but a tool for tangible social change. We believe that Bit by Bit is, in some tangible, meaningful way, a revolution in the way that we think about coding, and about who gets to learn it. Come learn a new skill!

Hello parents! We are a group of undergraduate students from the National University of Singapore (NUS) currently working on our final year project. As part of our project, we are conducting a survey to better understand consumers’ purchasing behaviour, brand perceptions, product preferences, and digital engagement habits related to travel products. We would greatly appreciate your kind assistance in participating in our survey. Your insights as parents and consumers will be extremely valuable to our study, and all responses will be kept strictly confidential and used solely for academic research purposes. As a token of appreciation, 30 respondents will be randomly selected to receive a $10 The Travel Store Singapore voucher, and the survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. Thank you very much for your time and support. We truly appreciate the KiasuParents community’s help in supporting our learning and research Link to Survey: https://forms.office.com/r/0xVXPpB0E6

I think South Korea could be a great option for your anniversary trip! I've been there before and found it to be very safe. You can check https://www.travelsafe-abroad.com/south-korea/ for more details on safety in Korea - they rate the overall risk as low. Plus with https://gowithguide.com/korea you can book a local guide to show you around, which can help ease any worries. Seoul especially has so much to see and do. I'm sure wherever you end up going, you'll have a wonderful time celebrating your anniversary! Just try not to overthink it too much. Have fun planning!

Go ahead and do it if lodging and meals are covered! A little trip can still be a pleasant change of pace, even if there isn’t much to do for kids. Your child might like discovering a new place or the hotel pool.
