A 5-day Holiday Camp designed for children to explore various make and build projects; to test ideas through hands-on exploration, training dexterity, creative and critical thinking while learning new skills.

On the 1st and 2nd day, children will Build an EcoHome and be introduced to various environmentally sustainable building design strategies; learn how to keep their home design energy efficient, and learn about materials and to use resources in a responsible manner. Children will build a 3D model prototype of their Eco-Home.

On the 3rd and 4th day of camp, children will Build a Geodesic Biodome where they learn all about Buckminster Fuller’s Geodesic Dome, the benefits of a Biodome and how it supports the Rainforest Ecosystem. The topics of Science, Engineering, Architecture and Maths will be covered in the process of building up their own Biodome structure and their unique Rainforest within.

On the 5th day, Children will learn anthropometry and explore their body movements in space in an interdisciplinary workshop Body, Movement + Space conducted in collaboration with RAW Moves, a contemporary dance company. Children will learn to express themselves through movements and encapsulate their movements via translation to tangible wearable designs.

Through the 5 days, children will learn basic model making and get creative re-using, re-purposing and transforming everyday materials into their unique individual design model prototypes.

DesignTinkers camps are specially curated and led by instructors who are experienced Architects with the passion and experience of working with young children to nurture their creative interests. Camps are held in our spacious and conducive classroom for kids to create and explore freely under guidance.
