Our #BISHCMC coding superheroes have been busy solving problems near and far with innovative ideas and intricate coding skills solving the problem of water pollution, loneliness, and traffic congestion and even optimising the school’s lost and found system.
Whilst learning to code is about learning the language to give to the computer, an important precursor is learning about problem-solving. After all, we are creating solutions by giving instructions to a collection of computer chips in order to make an action, where there is no real product at all. It is the nearest connection between BIS HCMC and Hogwarts!
Our students are taught the process of:
Analysing a problem
Designing a solution
Creating the solution
Evaluating how successful it was

With 22 schools taking part across Asia it was a fierce competition, so much so that the British School of Manila decided to choose a top 5, rather than an overall winner.
We are delighted that the BIS HCMC team were recognized as one of the top 5 from across the Federation of British Schools in Asia, whose product had a ‘spark and was exceptional’. Well done!
The following week came the Junior Coding Competition and this time BIS HCMC were the event host!
