National · All levelsBebras
An international computational thinking challenge designed for ages 7–9. Tests logical reasoning through fun, puzzle-style questions.
International · JuniorCoding Olympics
Singapore's coding championship — Python problem-solving at speed and scale. Our students have consistently placed in the Top 20.
National · CoderCanadian Computing
A global individual programming contest. Top 25% of contestants receive a Certificate of Distinction — a meaningful DSA credential.
Global · Lab XNRC AI Maker
Build AI-powered robots and compete against Singapore's brightest young minds. The next frontier in school-level AI competitions.
National · Lab XWhat competitions do for your child
Beyond trophies — competitions build the skills, confidence, and credentials that last a lifetime.
Real-world application
Competitions turn classroom skills into live problem-solving under pressure — the closest thing to a real engineering challenge a child can experience before entering the workforce.
DSA portfolio building
Placements in recognised national and international events carry real weight in DSA applications to top secondary schools across Singapore.

My kids really enjoy their experience at The Lab. For the younger ones, the classes and activities are fun and engaging as they get to build and apply the concepts they learn directly. For older kids, the projects and pace are geared to the individual child and that helps them progress at their own pace without feeling bored or struggling to keep up. Highly recommend.

I would like to first off say this school’s robotic/ coding program is the most structured. and organized that I’ve ever seen and I would instantly recommend this to anyone I know. My son has been going here for more than half year now. He has an amazing experience. I was so impressed by the teachers, friendly and fun atmosphere , the quality of teaching and the intelligence which the teachers handled young energetic kids.

Our child has been with The Lab since the middle of 2022 and has been enjoying himself every lesson. He is always very excited and enthusiastic to go for coding classes. Our initial worries of whether he will be able to adapt and learn were unfounded. Kudos to Teacher Khim who is extremely patient, nurturing and engaging! She makes learning fun and will take the time to guide and ensure that my child understands the concept and is able to carry out the task independently. Teacher Khim also takes the time to provide feedback on our child’s learning after every class which we are very appreciative of. We also love it that the lesson outline is sent to us after every lesson too. Another plus point would be the bright and open concept of the learning environment at The Lab.

My 8 year old girl enjoys the lessons and is always looking forward to the next lesson. The teachers are engaging, approachable and professional. What I like about The Lab’s program is that it encourages independent learning and problem solving skills. However, when my girl gets stuck on a task, the teacher will not tell her the solution but instead offer prompts/guidance and teach her how to think critically to dissect the problem and arrive at the solution.

very good experience and my son really enjoyed the classes. he learnt engineering solution as well as trouble shooting skills, the teachers are very inspiring and kind, it is the top favorite class for my son.

Teacher Khim has been very positive and patient. I can see that Ethan looks forward to every robotic lesson on Saturdays. Also can see an improvement in his daily logic thought process. Keep it up!
