STEAM. Every young scientist a Renaissance inventor, a design thinker & a community builder 🛠 Heartening to hear that this pioneering batch of the @sciencecentresg Youth Science Ambassadors picked up empathy, leadership and prototyping skills on top of their passion for engineering science ❤️ Sponsored by @temasekseen Foundation Nurtures 🌻 Keep the spirit to serve the community going and growing 🌳 #MakersOfChange #GiveAndBuild https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8VDV8H2Sp/?igshid=2cavi0p3ztko

COMMUNITY. Catch the Science Centre Young Science Ambassadors in action this Saturday morning (29 Jun) and learn more about STEM at the STEM showcase as they share and empower the community through the power of engineering science! 🛠❤️ During the June school holidays, over 80 young engineer scientists have immersed themselves in Design Thinking and Rapid Prototyping methodologies from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to Electronics to VR/AR to Mobile App Design and more, to co-create innovative solutions in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 10 to promote healthcare and wellbeing, and reduce inequality for 2 community beneficiaries: Loving Heart (elderly) and Tasek Jurong (families and children) 💡 Sponsored by Temasek Foundation Nurtures 🌳 Happening on 29 June (Saturday) from 10am to 2pm at Canopy, J Link (beside JCube), Jurong East. GOH arrives at 10am. Be sure not to miss out! For more information, visit http://bit.ly/2wPJGJ8 #CitizensOfScience #MakersOfChange https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQjRSRhUjf/?igshid=jg0291gvwe1e

Happy 1st of May, everyone 🌻 Here’s Sullivan welcoming you all to the Istana in a very stately stance, proper for the special occasion at hand ☺️ A day to also celebrate and appreciate labour and hard work.. what better way than to experience hands-on making. How about launching your dreams into the skies and reach out for the stars (and learn some physics along the way) 🚀 #MakersOfChange #CitizenBuilders (at The Istana, Singapore - Official Residence of the President of Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5nmMGBMRt/?igshid=jjg7azpnxyir

JOURNEY TO SPACE. After many failed tests (before this successful one captured on video) and making modifications after each iteration, our Citizen Builders are happy to share with you the good news that you too can build your own Parachute Module for the water rocket you are launching at the Istana Open House on 1 May 🚀 HOW. Simply walk up to our dedicated Parachute Module station, choose your material and add your personal creative touch to your Parachute design ❤ Once done, integrate it with your water rocket and head to the launchpad for countdown 👍🏼 Together with the Science Centre, Lifelong Learning Institute and friends from Singapore Maker Extravaganza, we look forward to seeing you there at the Istana this May Day holiday 🌳🇸🇬 #CitizenBuilders #MakersOfChange #LearnSG (at Social Collider) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwM4QC5hhUL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bm7rbr3jngqk

REPAIR. Sometimes when you play, things can get damaged like one of our trebuchets and spin art machine. When you’re equipped with the right skills like soldering or carpentry, you can repair them instead of throwing and buying a new one ☺️👍🏼 Especially when the item does not belong to you. When you repair the item, you repair relationships <3 #MakersOfChange #SustainableSG #BuildBackBetter (at Guildhäus at Katong - Where Givers Build)

INSPIRATION. Many of her students know her as Miss Huda or lovingly known to some as Miss Frizzle (from Magic School Bus) given her love for experiential science <3 Huda initially dropped by to collect floral waste from our Hapazome class for her students. She came across a ketupat-kite-sparkling lite at the GUILDHÄUS and wondered if she could recreate it. She took the spare foamboard from our Trashury, did some material bending and buckling tests before embarking on her idea. She went to a nearby stationery shop to get cellophane and her fingers began making her prototype and finishing it up late through the night. She even used the scroll saw to cut her pieces. Amazingly, she completed the frame structure in one day 👍🏼 If you would like to build your ideas or get inspired, simply PM us or drop by to say hi 🤗 #MakersOfChange #IkigaiTogether (at Guildhäus at Katong - Where Givers Build)

MAKER CULTURE. SOLD OUT! Thanks so so much to all who have helped spread the word for these 3 courses today and to those who signed up, even greater thanks <3 ありがとう! 谢谢! Terima kasih 🙏🏽 Starting the day with making culture (literally.. haha) of natural eco dyes with Agatha at @funansg, then building Bowcasters with Sullivan at Guildhäus and forging Lightsabers courtesy of Din at @themox.co. Good job to the Makers Of The Day and for making a difference one heart at a time 👍🏼 Looking forward to helping grow the maker movement and co-creating more of such courses with makers, builders, designers, scientists, techies & artisans 🛠 If anyone’s keen or know someone who may want to co-create a course, workshop or masterclass, simply PM us or email [email protected] Meanwhile, check out also @agytextileartist, CURIO Young Makers & Inventors and Madlab! #MakersOfChange #DIY (at Guildhäus at Katong - Where Givers Build)
