A peek inside

Pictures first, then you try it.

Every lesson uses clear whiteboard pictures and short moving clips, so ideas like "sense, think, act" make sense before any code appears.

  • Alec reads each step aloud
  • Check questions after every few steps
  • Try it yourself in the lesson, with instant feedback

Plans

What is included

Plus only

All ARC courses

Lessons, quizzes, final exams and certificates for every ARC course are included with Plus. ARC is not part of Practice.

Free trial

First 1 to 2 lessons

Only the first 1 to 2 lessons of each ARC course are open in the trial. Locked lessons show a lock and ask the parent to upgrade.

The first attempt is included with Plus. When your child taps Exam, a prompt tells the parent that each retry costs S$10.

Questions

Parents ask, we answer

Is it hard?

No. Each lesson is short, with one idea at a time, pictures, and Alec reading aloud. Children try things right away and get instant feedback. Starter courses begin from zero, and Advanced courses are for children who are ready for more.

Do we need to buy a robot or a kit?

No. Robotics runs on an on-screen simulator, so a tablet or computer is all you need. The coding practical is typed right in the lesson and marked automatically.

Which plan do we need?

ARC (AI, Robotics and Coding) is on the Plus plan only. Try the first 1 to 2 lessons of each course free in the trial. See pricing.

What age is it for?

All primary levels, from P1. Children are encouraged to start early. Lessons are voiced and use pictures, so a parent can sit with younger ones for the first few lessons. Starter courses begin from zero, and Advanced courses are for children who are ready for more.

What if my child fails the exam?

It is fine. Your child sees which lessons to revise first. First attempt is included with Plus; each retry costs S$10, and the parent is told before the exam starts.

What do parents get?
  • A progress view of lessons, quizzes and exam results
  • Section scores and a revise list after each attempt
  • A certificate with a number you can verify at alec.sg/verify
  • An optional printed certificate with frame
