Annual Closure DatesYour Child’s Future Just Got A New Roadmap
At Empire AI, we have always believed that technology education should prepare children not just for today, but for the future they will grow into.
That future is changing fast.
For many years, coding education focused heavily on syntax – learning programming languages line by line, memorising commands, and writing code in highly structured ways.
But the way technology is built today is evolving.
With the rise of artificial intelligence, code can increasingly be created through natural language instructions.
This changes the role of coding, and it changes what children need to learn to stay relevant, confident, and capable in the world ahead.
That is why our curriculum is evolving too.
We are shifting from a model centred on traditional syntax-based coding to one that focuses more deeply on thinking, systems, creativity, and real-world application.
Our goal is to teach children the technology behind AI, how to solve problems with it, and how to build with confidence in an AI-driven future – not use it only.
Our Curriculum – What’s Changing & Why
🤖 Robotics
Core – Staying & Expanding
● Robotics stays front and centre – it builds cause-and-effect thinking that no app can replace.
● Demand for engineers who can work across physical and virtual systems is only growing.
● We’re enhancing this area with more AI-integrated robotics tools and products.
🧱 Block Programming
Refocused, Not Removed
● ScratchJr, Tynker, Scratch and Minecraft Education remain – they build the logical foundations young minds need.● Less emphasis on syntax itself; more focus on why things work the way they do.
● Block programming will be integrated with STEAM subjects – physics, math, art – the disciplines that will shape their future.
● New AI-based block programming tools are being introduced as part of our ongoing upgrade.
🎮 Game Development
In Transition
● The architecture and design thinking behind game development stays – it’s one of the best ways to teach systems thinking.
● The syntax-heavy components are being reworked to align with our AI-first approach.
● Incorporating entrepreneurship skills into game development, with a focus on how to monetise game creations.
● Students can continue with existing modules while the upgrade is underway – no interruption.
📱 App Development
In Transition
● The focus will shift to understanding how modern apps are created using AI, workflows, and real-world systems.
● For younger students, a new app development curriculum can now be rolled out – focusing on logic, creativity, and how apps work.
● For teens, we will move towards advanced AI-driven modules, including building apps with AI, APIs, and cloud integration.
● Students will continue with existing modules while the upgrade is underway, particularly while the App Inventor competition is ongoing, with no interruption.
🔌 IoT & Hardware
Staying, with AI Integration
● Hardware and electronics remain essential – they show children how technology works in the real world, not just on a screen.
● Arduino and Micro:bit continue to be core platforms, with progression into Raspberry Pi and more advanced modules.
● Programming for these platforms will increasingly incorporate AI-driven approaches.
🧠 Traditional Syntax Coding
The Biggest Shift – Moving Away Completely
● We are moving away from traditional syntax-heavy curricula – Python, JavaScript – because the industry already has. Large tech companies have moved toward AI-assisted development at scale. Our new focus will include the following:
● Vibe coding – building with AI assistance in natural language.
● Running LLMs locally – understanding how to work with AI models directly.
● Connecting APIs – linking tools, data, and services intelligently.
● Cloud infrastructure – deploying real, working applications.
At Empire AI, we are committed to helping children go beyond coding as a technical skill and towards technology as a way of thinking, creating, and shaping the world around them.
We are not just preparing children to use technology. We are preparing them to build with it.
Whether your child has been with us for a week or for years, this evolution is for them. It is about making sure they are equipped not only for the world that exists today, but for the one that is rapidly taking shape.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We are grateful for your trust, and we are excited to build this next chapter together.

Interesting topics which are practicle and useful for beginners. Additional Course on 29th Aug 2026 The AI course on Bazi by Empire.AI was a wonderful eye opener! I also learn a lot about NotebookLM, and was able to generate ppt slides, video in both English and Chinese, and last but not the least, an interview audio file on the project. The co-organiser, Ningpo Guild, was very hospitable, too!Posted on Google![]()

I would just like to share this gem of a place that's tucked away in Goldhill Plaza - it's affordable (VERY value for money), has great instructors, clean and cosy, and does an excellent job in developing robotics/coding/building skills in children. I was first introduced to this place by a good friend, and after the first class, my 5 year old was instantly sold! I love that young children get the chance to build their own structures (great for fine-motor skills), learn simple block coding, and test out their creations on the spot. I also appreciate the fact that they are very flexible - there are many learning pathways and we can choose which suits our child best. The centre gives great recommendations to suit each child's needs, and there are a variety of modules available - we are simply spoilt for choice! Replies and updates are also very prompt - there are photos/videos of my child every lesson, and all questions are promptly replied via WhatsApp. Those looking for a great place for their children to try out coding/robotics/building etc should definitely give this centre a try. :)Posted on Google![]()

We had a wonderful experience at this Minecraft coding class in Singapore. When we shared our concerns about our children not understanding English, the school kindly adjusted the schedule and arranged more individualized support for them. Although my two children did not understand much English at first, the teachers patiently and warmly supported them throughout the lesson. They stayed close to the children, helped them stay focused, and guided them using the children’s interests, which made learning in English enjoyable and positive. We are traveling from Japan, and being able to include this programming class during our trip was truly valuable. We were very impressed by the high level of coding and STEAM education in Singapore. The administrator was also very kind and friendly, and it is clear that this school has experienced and excellent teachers. We are truly grateful for this experience and highly recommend this school.Posted on Google![]()

We just want to thank the trainer today for being so kind and patient with our boy. He wanted to show me his robot at the end of class but somehow it didn't work after a few tries due to our tablet's issue. Although it took extra time to help him reconnect with another ipad (he was the last kid to leave), she was extremely helpful and patient. Your reception staff was also very gentle and friendly to our kids. In fact, week after week, the trainers and reception staff have shown so much care and patience towards him and his brother. We truly appreciate it and our kids love coming here every week for class! 🙏Posted on Google![]()

Our 7-year-old son has really enjoyed his time at Empire Code Novena. He took LEGO Robotics and ScratchJr coding classes, and it's been a great way to introduce him to the world of tech. Every lesson is hands-on and fun - he comes home excited to show us what he's built or coded. The trainers are great with kids and really know how to keep them engaged. The Novena center is clean, safe and well set up for young leaners. It's not easy to find coding and robotics classes for young kids in Singapore that strike the right balance between fun and learning - but Empire Code does just that. Would definitely recommend it to any parent looking to give their child a strong start in tech!Posted on Google![]()

I was initially unsure about online coding classes, but Empire Code completely changed my mind. My son had a blast with their Minecraft coding course on Zoom, and I loved seeing how engaged he was from the very first session. What stood out to me most was how the lessons sparked his creativity while teaching him real coding logic through a platform he already loves - Minecraft! He wasn’t just playing; he was learning and building with purpose. The trainer was so warm and encouraging - even over Zoom, she managed to connect with the kids and guide them patiently. As a parent, I appreciated how organised the sessions were and how much my son looked forward to them each week. If you're looking for online coding classes for kids in Singapore that are meaningful, fun, and educational, Empire Code is a wonderful choice.Posted on Google![]()

This is a thrilling place for kids! Empire Code’s material is leveled but challenging. It has even prepared my kids well for math competitions at their school (as they often include questions on coding), but my kids only see it as fun! The instructors are great and management is very organized and professional. Their camps are always a highlight of my boys’ summer. We have also held a party at Empire Code to rave reviews from our birthday boy and all of his friends! Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()
