4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. We are what we repeatedly do

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

8. The Power of Habits
www.koobits.com
“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 Kuan
Parent of Koh Kai Qi
Anchor Green Primary School
“Interactive programme and
able to capture her attention
and develop her interest in
learning.”
