Digital Innovators

Our Digital Innovators programme empowers Primary 5 and 6 students to use technology for creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Through hands-on experiences like music production with GarageBand and robotics programming with Code for Fun, students transform their ideas into digital reality. This dynamic programme encourages learners to become active creators who design, build, and share innovations with others. By exploring various IT tools and working on collaborative projects, students develop the skills and confidence to express creativity through technology and approach challenges with an innovative mindset.

Digital Art: Use of ICT in Art

As part of the Digital Innovators programme, our students leverage technology to enhance creativity and expression in the Arts curriculum.

In Primary 5, students learn how to conceptualise and plan their ideas through storyboarding. They imagine and illustrate their visions of the future of Singapore, refine their drawings or art pieces into photographs, and bring them to life through stop-motion videos. By photographing and physically manipulating objects within a frame and playing the images back in sequence, students gain hands-on experience in digital storytelling and animation.

In Primary 6, students develop essential photography skills, including applying the framing, depth of field, leading lines, and the use of shadows. These techniques enable them to capture more visually engaging images.

Teachers also make use of Padlet as a digital gallery for showcasing students’ artwork. This platform provides opportunities for peer feedback and encourages students to appreciate diverse perspectives within the learning community.

Use of ICT in Music

In Music, students explore digital tools to express their musical creativity. Using GarageBand, they compose original music pieces by experimenting with rhythm, melody, and various instrumental layers. This digital approach allows students to develop a deeper understanding of musical elements while encouraging them to produce and share their own compositions confidently.

Coding for Fun

The Code For Fun (CFF) Enrichment Programme is a national-mandated programme that is offered to Primary 6 students in TVPS. Through this 10-hour standardised curriculum, students are exposed to coding and computational thinking and their applications to daily lives. Students will undergo sessions that allow them to understand basic programming concepts and develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills. They are given opportunities to apply their knowledge gained through an activity where they will individually programme a dance using their Sphero robotic kits. Students are also introduced to basic concepts of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity concepts.

Coding for Fun is the finale programme that exposes students to programming.
