Brunei Kids Can Code

Brunei Kids Can Code is an educational program organised by Dynamik Technologies in collaboration with BISTEC Global that teaches young students how to code in a fun and rewarding way. We aim to equip the future generations the skills, confidence, and opportunity to change the world one line of code at a time! 

We believe early introduction to computer science is an investment for the future. In this technological age, coding is a highly sought skill for the ICT industry that can in turn help any industry develop software for their business needs. The Brunei Kids Can Code competition aims to unlock young kids’ potential as well as to expand their creativity and computational thinking.  

Students from the age of 8 to 16 years old with a strong interest in computer programming can take part.  For the children below the age 12, they are encouraged to be accompanied by parents or guardian.   

The program will kick off with a competition starting from 30^th August 2020 to 11^th September 2020. The classes will be held at a later date and is expected to take place monthly. Thereafter, other challenges or competitions will be held.

Our coding competition is live and interactive. The participants will be divided into two groups according to their age: Group A (8-12 years old) and Group B (13 – 16 years old).  We will use age-appropriate online tool such as Scratch to test their basic coding skills.  The first week will help the students familiarize themselves with the introduction to Scratch before they start on the challenges. Points will be awarded based on individual performance. 

No prior knowledge of coding is necessary to join the Brunei Kids Can Code competition. The willingness and desire to learn is most important.

The competition is entirely free of charge! We encourage them to bring their own laptop due to hygiene purposes. But if they don’t have any available laptops to bring, we do have our own limited number of laptops on a first come, first-served basis. Please advise us in the registration form.

The competition will be held at the Design and Technology Building at Kg. Anggerek Desa.

Registration for the competition is now open. Students can register through their parents or legal guardians on the Dynamik Technologies website. Slots are limited to 25 pax for each category. The closing date will be on Friday 28^th August 2020, 12PM.

The competition will be followed by Brunei Kids Can Code Club where we organise coding classes and tutorials where students will have hands-on learning experience. The specific launch date, venue and any other details for the Club will be advised at a later date.
