"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." - Martin Luther King Jr.
Dear parents and students, welcome to our class newsletter. We hope this update finds you all healthy, happy and ready to learn. We would like to take a moment to reflect on the progress we’ve made in class so far, and also share some interesting topics that shall interest you.
From updates on our latest projects and lessons to showing some precious moments of the class, we aim to keep you informed and engaged in this meaningful education progress. In this edition of the class newsletter, we will be sharing some updates and pictures from the lessons, revealing our Star Coder, introducing a special awareness day in May and the latest happenings in Telebort. Happy Reading!
Class Updates
In Lesson 11, our students were introduced to the concept of API (Application Programming Interface). An API is a set of programming code that acts as a mediator between two applications, enabling them to interact with each other. APIs can be used to access data and information from other applications or external software. An example of API is how the Google Maps API is used to customize and display maps.
To better understand the concept, the students completed Mini Project 4: Weather App. They used the weather API to fetch weather data for a selected city in a new SvelteKit project. Students also revised their API concept and completed Mini Project 5: Steam Game Searcher. This project involved fetching all available game data from Steam, a game purchasing platform, to list on the website using the game API in a SvelteKit project. The students showed a keen interest in this topic and actively participated in discussions with instructors.
Furthermore, our students also learnt about Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) and Google's web and mobile application development platform called Firebase, which offers more than 19 services and has over 1.5 million applications using it. During the lesson, the instructor also emphasized that API keys should be kept private for security purposes. Remember that!
We’re glad to see our students being engaged in learning new concepts. Great job in grasping these concepts while being able to implement it onto our designated projects! We're excited to see you all continuing to grow and excel in your coding abilities!
Star Coder
In this section, we'll be shining the spotlight on one outstanding student in our coding class - The Star Coder. The student chosen is a student who has demonstrated a strong understanding of the material, shown a positive attitude, or contributed to the overall success of the class.
Marissa Yeoh Li Kuen
We are thrilled to announce our Star Coder of Program E, Saturday 5pm - Marissa Yeoh Li Kuen! Marissa has consistently demonstrated dedication, enthusiasm, and outstanding skills in our coding class. Not only has she always been present, but she has also exemplified the importance of punctuality by consistently arriving on time, ready to engage and participate actively. Marissa has consistently exhibited exceptional skills and talent in the field of coding. Her passion for programming is evident in every project and assignment she undertakes. From mastering complex algorithms to designing innovative solutions, she consistently demonstrates a deep understanding of coding principles and applies them effectively to solve problems. Keep up the exceptional work Marissa, and may your passion for coding continue to inspire others.
Our goal with this section is to celebrate the effort of our students while motivating everyone to showcase incredible talents within our coding community. Congratulations to our first Star Coder, and we look forward to seeing more of you to strive for excellence!

Awareness Day In May
The objective of an Awareness Day in the class newsletter is to raise awareness among our students about the importance of coding and its impact on various aspects of our daily lives. We also want to celebrate the creativity and innovation that coding brings to our society and acknowledge the contributions of those who work tirelessly to develop and advance coding technologies.
National Medical Coder Day
On May 23rd every year, people in the US celebrate the National Medical Coder Day. National Medical Coder Day is dedicated to celebrating the work and dedication of medical coders. Coders are committed to the analysis and classification of medical data. The information gathered by medical coders is used by companies, organizations, and even the government because it is essential to improve the healthcare management system. That’s cool, right? Perhaps some of you might be a medical coder one day? We’ll see!
