Transform Tech Education with CO-DE
At Preface, we see “CO-DE” as the foundational philosophy of our progressive learning approach. We believe the key to empowering the next generation for the future lies in developing two essential skills: Computational Thinking (CO) and Design Thinking (DE).
The programme is designed to equip students with the essential skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. Our 60-module programme combines structured learning with collaborative, real-world problem-solving to cultivate the “CO-DE” skills.

Structured Learning Journey
- 12 modules per age group (4-12+) annually
- Modules cover coding concepts, languages, and applications
- The first 10 modules progress from core skills to real-world applications, leading to a Capstone Project in Modules 11 and 12 that tackles a real-world challenge
- New series starting every three months. See the full schedule

Past Hackathons & Events With Our Partners
South China Morning Post
In partnership with SCMP, Preface hosted young readers and curious coders to develop critical and logical thinking skills through a Design Thinking workshop, all with a splash of creativity! Through stimulating their curiosity and observation skills, students proposed practical, tech-driven solutions to actual business challenges.
Alibaba Cloud
What goes on behind the world's largest e-commerce sales day happening on November 11th each year on Taobao? The answer is cloud computing! In collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, we hosted an exclusive hackathon for children to explore cloud technology and the fascinating world of ecommerce that surrounds them.
Student Achievements
Star student Boris Lo was featured in the SCMP Young Post
Boris Lo, was invited by SCMP to share his views on Web3 to the readers of the leading publication. Being known for his community and impact-driven tech projects in the past, he provides a unique perspective from the younger generation on the development of technology.
6-year-old's game applauded in Japan!
Not too young to code! A 6-year-old student amazed everyone with her programming proficiency by coding a game that was proudly showcased at Scratch Day Japan, Asia's largest young coders’ event. Using the camera sensor for control, players swipe bugs off the screen, creating a highly interactive gaming experience.
Coding buddies recreate Google's T-rex Runner
Nathaniel and Edison, our talented star coders, recreated the popular game "T-Rex runner" in a remarkable display of coding mastery. In just 2-hours using pair-programming, they transformed a single player game into a 2-player version that was displayed through a physical arcade station at Preface Coffee and Wine, a unique avenue for our students to showcase their creations to the general public.
