Meet Ashlyn: Lyza Education's 10‑Year‑Old Coding Whiz

Welcome to our “Meet the Coders” series, where we introduce the passionate young learners in our coding programmes.

In this edition, we speak with Ashlyn, a 10-year-old girl that has been attending lessons with us for more than two terms while at Nurture Studio! Learn more about her coding experience and how she enjoys learning coding together with her sister Audrey.

Ashlyn at Lyza Education

Hi Ashlyn! Can you introduce yourself? What are your hobbies?

Hi, I am Ashlyn! I am 10 years old, and I study in Anderson Primary. I like to code and also play computer games! I also enjoy playing badminton, which is also my CCA! I have been playing it since I was in Primary 3, so it has been two years.

We heard that you created a game on App Inventor. What inspired you to create it?

My mum found out that Lyza Education had coding classes and got my sister Audrey and I to join. We have been attending for three terms. My sister, who is 8 years old, now attends the L21x Young Creators program, while I attend the L31x Architects program. It has been fun learning about both coding and AI!

Ashlyn's Apple Catching game

What is most fun about learning coding at Lyza Education?

I enjoy playing my own creations that I have created with MIT App Inventor! I created an Apple Catching game, where I drew out a stickman and had apples drop down.

My parents regulate my screen time while at home, so having classes with Lyza Education allows me to use the computer and create games.

I also like playing Blooket, which teacher Mihir hosts it every week to reinforce what I have learnt every lesson.

It is also interesting that I get Kash after completing each class too! It was only introduced at Orchard at first, but I got a chance to know more when my mum signed me up for L31M Minecraft and teacher Rachel gave me Kash!

My friends at Nurture Studio and my sister were envious that I have a lot more Kash than them, but it is fun now that they get Kash too!
