Singapore's first free, teacher-less computer science programme to be launched by 2022
SINGAPORE - People can expect to sign up for Singapore's first free, teacher-less computer science programme by 2022.
Offered by French non-rofit university Ecole 42 and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the course will be open to anyone aged 18 and above, regardless of their background in coding or mathematics.
Supported by SkillsFuture Singapore, the new programme - dubbed 42 Singapore - aims to develop a pipeline of tech talent for the digital economy.
Instead of classroom-based lessons delivered by lecturers and textbooks, students will learn tech skills in areas such as cyber security and network infrastructure at their own pace, advancing through project-based learning and gamification.
The first cohort of 150 students under the new programme in Singapore is expected to start by the end of 2022, with recruitment done through one or more admissions exercises a year, said SUTD in a statement on Tuesday (Nov 23).
Admissions at Ecole 42 schools are highly competitive, with applicants being selected after an intensive four-week bootcamp known as the "Piscine" or French for swimming pool.
