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

If you’re still considering traditional pathways like music, taekwondo, or other arts-focused DSA options that require years of mastery, think no more! Robotics, Coding, and STEM offer a modern, practical, and impactful alternative that can fast-track your child’s future. The best part? With the right training, students can excel in these areas in a much shorter period and create a competitive portfolio for DSA applications.

Why Robotics and Coding Matter for DSA:

The Ministry of Education (MOE) secondary schools in Singapore are now recognising the immense value of students with strong robotics and coding capabilities. However, gaining DSA placement in a school offering robotics requires more than just enthusiasm – it demands proven competency and experience in these fields.

Introducing the Meta Robotics Programme:

Our Meta Robotics Programme is carefully designed to equip students with the practical skills, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving abilities that leading secondary schools look for. Through hands-on experience, students will build a portfolio showcasing their achievements in robotics and coding – the foundation for a successful DSA application.

Here’s How We Help Your Child Stand Out:

Comprehensive Robotics, Coding and STEM Curriculum

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.

Participation in Prestigious Robotics Competitions

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.

Holistic Skill Development

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:

Frequently Asked Questions

My child is P6 this year and has no Robotics or Coding experience. Can he still qualify for DSA?

If your child is in P6 this year, there is no more chance for him/ her to participate in the Robotics Competition as all the competition preparation will required at least 4-5 months of practice. It will be too late to be used for DSA application.

Is it a must to participate in a Robotics competition for DSA application?

While most schools do require a certificate of participation from a Robotics competition as part of the DSA application, winning an award is not a strict necessity. Minimal participation in a recognized competition is often sufficient, but having an award can certainly improve the chances of success. The key is to demonstrate active involvement and a strong interest in Robotics.

What is the ideal age to participate in Robotics Competition and then use it to apply for DSA?

We recommend students aged 9 to 11 as the ideal stage to participate in Robotics Competitions.

My child is only P2 this year. Is it too early to consider for his DSA?

It’s a good idea to start planning and observing your child’s interests from a young age. Starting robotics at P2 is beneficial, but it’s more practical to consider DSA when your child is in P4 or above. P2 is still early, as their interests may shift by the time they approach P6.

What is the success rate of your students' DSA applications?

While we have many success stories, we understand that some parents may not update us on the outcome of their child’s DSA application. Therefore, while we can confidently share that many of our students have succeeded, the exact success rate may not be fully reflected due to the lack of consistent updates from all families.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the difference between holiday workshop and weekly classes?

Holiday workshop for Meta Robotics is a 3 days 3-hours session. In this 3 hours, the students will be doing 2 projects per day. So effectively, they will be doing 6 projects during each holiday workshop. This is equivalent to taking up 6 weekly lessons.

Can they bring home the LEGO models they made during the workshop?

Unfortunately not. Our educational tools are not for sales. Students will get to use a full LEGO organizer and its coding hubs worth $400-$800 throughout the workshop duration.

Why are they doing so many different type of robotics and coding activities in 3 days workshop? Can they cope with it?

We believe in exposing the students to different type of Robotics and coding related activitties. Some children demonstrate better motor skills and spatial reasoning while others are stronger in computational thinking. All the activities are planned deliberately to enable a holistic Robotics and coding experience. While some children may enjoy certain activities more than the rest, others may prefer the opposite but their learning experience will be unforgettable. Many of our past holiday students always come back for more such activities.
