My First Skool Children and Kampung Admiralty Seniors Connect through Innovative Intergenerational Coding and Robotics Programme
Children from My First Skool at Kampung Admiralty participated in an intergenerational coding and robotics session along with seniors from the NTUC Health Active Ageing Centre (Care) (Kampung Admiralty) on 6 December.
The elderly guided the children in building robots using blocks and coding the robots to perform tasks.
In an interview with CNA, Kaulder Lee Xu Bin, 6, a child from MFS, expressed his delight in engaging with the seniors during the coding session.
The positive interactions were captured on film, with footage of MFS children being featured on CNA, Channel 8 and BERITA Mediacorp. Intergenerational exchanges like this not only benefit the seniors but also contribute to the holistic development and social growth of the children from My First Skool.
