DesignTinkers 5-day Camp (Mar)

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.

Our lil proud Makers
On Day 1, students will explore model making and be creative in building up a TreeHouse design with consideration for its form, features, levels, platforms and openings. With a natural tree branch given as a 'site context', children will visualize their design and learn the support and access needed for their TreeHouse prototype.

Plan, measure and cut to build design

On Day 2, students will be introduced to curated designs around the world to inspire and design an ice cream truck, its branding, logo and Ice Cream Menu!
Students with begin sketching of ideas and apply Design Thinking skills to understand the spatial needs required to support the ice cream production and sales before prototyping their design in 3D.

Planning and 3D Prototyping
On Day 3, upon completion of their Ice Cream Truck prototype, students will be introduced to the digital craft of Graphic Design with Canva. Students will learn how Graphic Designers create visual content to communicate messages by applying visual hierarchy and page layout techniques, also understanding typography to design their Ice Cream Brand Logo and a Poster to advertise the grand opening of their Ice Cream Truck business.

Designing of logo branding, poster & menu on Canva
On Day 4 and 5, Students are introduced to various environmentally sustainable building design strategies; understanding how to keep their home building energy efficient, learning about materials and to use resources in a responsible manner. Students will build a 3D model prototype of their Eco-Home.

Eco-Home Model Prototypes
DesignTinkers camps are specially curated and led by instructors who are architects, designers and educators 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.
Laptops will be provided to students on 19 March to design digitally in Canva. However, we do encourage students to bring their own device, laptop or IPad to continue working on their project at home.
