What BE a Scholar Tuition offers is summarised in the 10 topics below. I think they are very competitive as the topics consist of what the school covers and not cover.
1. Robotics – Sequential Processing – Autonomous behaviour
- Define a goal, draw the flow program
- Build Robots to identify design features
- Programming with a graphical user interface
- Use conditional functions and loops.
2. Coding – Computer language – Generic syntax
- Vocabulary and Grammar
- Examples and coding approaches
- Write your own Python code.
3. AI – Markov and Bayesian – think with artificial intelligence (to be extra intelligent)
- Know the difference between Markov and Bayesian Models
- Discover probabilities and uncertainties
- Analysis board-games – States, transitions, actions, rewards, etc
- How that relates to the coding.
4. Coming soon – Maths Challenge (Personally I am excited about this one due to age of my child)
- Do Maths Challenge (from age 9 onwards)
- Investigate the most efficient way to solve problems.
- Build up a portfolio of mathematical concepts.
5. Music structured approach – Focused on the mentality
- Focus on the mental aspect to ensure longevity. The musical journey is a marathon. How to make it last?
- Explore musical history and theory
- Look for musical inspirations. APT APT
6. Graphical Representation – Poster making, show and tell.
- How to show a large amount of information in a concise way
- How to present and practise interact with Audience
- Questions and answers
7. Reading approach – Book review – I covered this ages ago.
- What are you reading?
- Do you remember it? or Read and forget?
- Focus on the best aspects and understand why the segment is good
8. Writing approach – Outlines – I covered this ages ago.
- Use and optimise outlines.
- Write lots.
9. Sports to balance
- Sports are important to balance all of the above.
- Team sports or solo sports
- Tennis is a solo sports.
10. KPIs – continuous improvement – if you work on something, you will get
- Quality – what does good look like?
- Time – how long do you spend?
- Cost – is it sustainable?
- Deliverables – what are the observable outputs?
This has effectively been a blog for me to explore what sort of environment will see the best versions of each child. A balanced approach, efficiency for the best use of available resources, and clear outputs to show “passions”, “insights”, and “expertise”, what I discuss with parents.
The King’s Scholarship level is still the goal.
