This is a five-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 first and second day, 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.

From the third to fifth day at camp, children will start a new project to Design a Home for themselves or their family. Children will apply Design Thinking principles in understanding the needs and challenges of who they are designing for and be introduced to the basics of space planning for a home. They will translate their 2D planning to 3D model with consideration for architectural scale, light, ventilation, views and communal landscape area in their design.

Through the five 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.

Suitable for 6 – 9 years old/10 – 12 years old children.

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 their spacious and conducive classroom for kids to create and explore freely under guidance.
