The KooBits Challenge is a nation-wide online learning contest originated from Singapore. 1 in 6 Singaporean children are currently taking part in the KooBits Challenge 2014.

What is KooBits Challenge?

www.koobits.com

KooBits Challenge’s game dynamics make it highly engaging and motivating to children. It uses the latest technology to design personalized, daily learning activities to help your child develop effective study habits, acquire problem-solving skills and life skills to build a broad and deep foundation.

Our Core Beliefs(Our guiding principles in designing the KooBits Challenge)

www.koobits.com

• Every child is unique. Every child has different interests and strengths. Each child will therefore succeed in different ways.

• Every child can learn, whatever his starting point.

• We must put values and character development at the core of our education system. Character cannot be made except by a steady, long-continued process.

Program Mission:

Developing Good Study Habits

www.koobits.com

Successful students have good study habits. They plan specific time for study, set specific goals, ask right questions and get organized. It’s through these habits that successful students build deep foundation and acquire valuable knowledge and skills.

However, good habits are hard to come by. Most students let habit form on its own, and often fall victim to common bad habits such as last minute cramming, procrastinating, studying without a plan and so on.

To address this problem, we designed the KooBits Challenge and set its core mission as to help students develop good study habits. KooBits Challenge engages students to perform a set of daily routines, help them set targets and rewards. The length of the challenge is also carefully designed to make the new habits stick and sink in.

We are what we repeatedly do

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.”

The Power of Habits

“Champions don’t do extraordinary things. They do ordinary things, but they do them without thinking, too fast for the other team to react. They follow the habits they’ve learned.” 

~  Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit

“KooBits tackled the most difficult part of a child's learning journey - motivation. By letting a child to compete for top honour, my daughter is

very motivated to become the highest scorer and actually was learning along the way without

knowing that she was actually learning. She plays and learns. It is great!”

~ Mr Koh Shoon KuanParent of Koh Kai Qi

Anchor Green Primary School

learning.”
