At PingTech Academy, we strive to make a difference in our students’ lives and so we love hearing the many stories of success.
Medial Coder student
This is the third year that my daughter has been part of the program and she loves the classes. The structured approach, with its different levels and tools, keeps her engaged as she steadily improves her skills. Being able to see her code come to life through the actions of Scratch or the robots adds an exciting and rewarding dimension. Each week brings fresh games and activities and the yearly competitions provide that extra spark of motivation, encouraging her to apply her knowledge in a fun way.
When we pick her up, she can’t wait to share what she has been doing that week, and we appreciate the detailed regular feedback from the instructors, which keeps us informed about her progress and the lesson objectives. We’re very grateful for the program’s commitment to nurturing her passion for coding in such a supportive environment.

Neurodiverse Learner
Coding and Robotics offer many benefits in helping special needs (neurodiverse) children become more intellectually functional, systematic & independent individuals. TJ has been learning mini-coding for over a year and has assisted with barriers that affected him emotionally, physically & socially. In a sense that he enjoyed and looked forward to attending his lessons, his hand-motor coordination improved, and he met different instructors which forced him to socially relate and adhere to instructions from any figure of authority (in this case the other instructors) but also to gain ability & independence on how he needed to execute activities allocated to him.
Because coding is systematic, it came in handy in eye-hand coordination as well as an understanding of how certain things will only work in a particular order. Given that TJ is on the autism spectrum (ASD), coding helped him in following activity steps systematically. Evident in his understanding of basic life skills like dressing up, undressing, food preparation & self-feeding (what you need & what comes before what). Both his fine motor skills & gross motor improved tremendously. We could attest from his keyboard typing skills, sequentially playing drum notes, the list goes on… it built a lot of independence and confidence for him.
I as a parent, would recommend this co-curriculum activity for any special needs/neurodiverse child with learning & developmental barriers.
