Are you looking to give your child a competitive edge for direct school admission (DSA) to top secondary schools?
In today's rapidly evolving world, Robotics, Coding, and STEM skills are no longer just extra-curricular activities; they are essential qualifications for the next generation of innovators.
And now, Meta Robotics offers a proven pathway to ensure your child can stand out with a robust portfolio for DSA.
Robotics, Coding, STEM, Computational Thinking are now an accepted pathway for Direct School Admission (DSA)! In fact, more than 50 schools in Singapore are offering DSA opportunities for students with a strong background in Robotics and STEM
Why Robotics and Coding Matter for DSA:
Introducing the Meta Robotics Programme:
Here’s How We Help Your Child Stand Out:
From foundational concepts to advanced techniques, we ensure students develop a deep understanding of Robotics, Coding and STEM. This includes practical projects, problem-solving, and programming challenges that mirror the DSA requirements.
We actively train students to compete in highly recognised events like the National Robotics Competition (NRC), World Robot Olympiad (WRO), and First Lego League (FLL). Participation in these competitions helps our students develop a portfolio that makes them stand out during the DSA selection process.
Beyond Robotics and Coding, we also emphasise other valuable skills such as teamwork, public speaking, and presentation abilities. These qualities are essential for DSA applications and ensure your child is well-rounded and prepared for the challenges ahead.
How Can We Help You?
We understand that every child is unique, which is why we offer a free consultation with our education consultant. We will assess your child’s current level and provide tailored advice to ensure they are on the right path for DSA. To ensure we provide the best advice for your child's next step, please answer these questions before the consultation:
