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 first two days, children will Design My Room where they will zoom in on scale to imagine and design their dream bedroom incorporating their personal likes. Children will also be introduced to Jesmonite as an eco-friendly material widely used in arts, crafts and architecture. Guided by our Jesmonite specialist instructor from ANKY Studio, children will learn Jesmonite casting to create their own unique lounge chair furniture piece to complement their room design. They will get to choose the colours to create the casting mixture before pouring it into a mould and witness Jesmonite changing state from a liquid to solid through an exothermic reaction.
On 3rd day, children will be guided by experienced instructors from LittlePrintings, who are specialists in creating unique 3D printed designs. Children will learn TinkerCAD to create a usable stationery pot before exporting it to a 3D printer for printing; and witness the process of their digital form being printed from scratch. While waiting for their 3D print, students will continue to explore TinkerCAD digital space; learning how to use the software as a design tool to create various digital forms. This immersive hands-on learning will empower them to envision, design, and shape their future prototypes.
For the last 2 days of the Holiday Camp, children will Build an EcoHome where they will be introduced to various environmentally sustainable building design strategies and learn how to keep their home design energy efficient.. Children will build a 3D model prototype of their Eco-Home.
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.
