JLPC Presents "Young Innovators - Weekend Workshop Series at *SCAPE"

Joyful Learning Path Centre (JLPC) is proud to present the "Young Innovators - Weekend Workshop Series at *SCAPE" Specially Designed For Kids 7yrs to 12yrs"

Programme Details:
Dates: 7th July - Open House (from 2pm to 6pm)
            4th Aug to 22nd Sept 2013 (Workshops will be held every Sunday)
Time: 2pm to 4pm or 4pm to 6pm (2 sessions available)
Venue: *SCAPE, Newsroom on Level 4, 2 Orchard Link, Singapore 237978
Fees: $40 per session or $320 for 8 sessions

Program Objectives: To encourage discussion & discourse, as well as to develop innovation skills and problem solving mindset, among kids between 7yrs to 12yrs.

Across the 8 weeks of workshops, kids will be introduced to JLPC's 3D Approach To Innovation, which provides them with a powerful set of thinking skills that will stay with them long after they've left the classrooms:

1. Define: Empathy is a powerful skill for the innovation generation. o Kids need to think not only about their environment but the people around them.
o They need to learn to ask questions such as
 Is there a problem here?
 Who is affected?
 What are the resources available to me?

2. Discuss: The power of ideas. o Brainstorming is essential in bringing out the best of ideas.
o No idea is too small or too silly.
o Communication is a vital life skill. Kids learn to listen to each other, as well as make themselves heard.
o They also explore what they can do or produce with the given resources.

3. Develop: Try and try again – turning an idea into realityo It’s not what we know but what we can do.
o Trial and error are an inventor’s best friends.
o Kids learn that mistakes are necessary in the invention process and that picking themselves up and learning from failures only makes them stronger and wiser.

Register for the entire 8 weekends worth of workshops before 26th July and pay only $250. That's more than 20% discount off the usual price!

For single sessions, registration is required 48 hours in advance.

Results of the June 2013 Investors Fair

Parents and guests attending the Investors Fair last Friday (7th of June) were given $1,000 to invest in what they felt was a promising product created by the kids after going around to the various booths and trying the products out. We've tallied up the score and here are the results of the fair:

The top 5 most potential products were
1. Diamond X with their game "Wizard vs Devil" - $4,900
2. Captain LOL with their game "Dungeon Bowling" - $4,400
3. Team Awesome with their game "Dart The Cup" - $4,050
4. Minecraft Ninjas with their game "Mini Space Voyage" - $3,600

Special mention to the rest of the teams who created equally brilliant products and games:
Team Ferrari 5 for Volcano Escape
Team Golden Stars with "Different Faces of Characters"

Entrepreneurs Unite!

Our heartiest congratulations to the 38 graduands of our Young Entrepreneurs Camp June 2013! And also a super BIG thank you to the wonderful facilitators from Victoria Junior College. You guys are the best!

The 4 days of camp didn't go without drama of course, and we experienced them all - teams not able to find their groove till the last day of camp, tears from arguing with team mates, some minor paper cuts, bumps and scrapes.

The most important thing however, was that they all came through on innovation & entrepreneurship with flying colours. We were proud of all the teams in that they all had a unique product to offer by the end of camp, they presented their product well during the Investors Fair and did a fantastic job decorating their booths with posters to 'sell' their idea to the investors.

Parents were very impressed with how their children handled public speaking, some expressing surprise to see their children take to the stage so naturally considering that they were rather introverted by nature.

These were the teams with their products respectively:
1. Team Awesome (Christian, Jolene, Jovan & Franklin) with Dart The Cup










2. Minecraft Ninjas (Gideon, Alison, Timothy & Chuan Xin) with Mini Space Voyage









 

3. Sofia The First (Alexia, Rita, Letitia & Zoe) with Little Pony & Pac-Man in a Barbie House









4. Blue Lamborghini (Pavan, Russell, Theodore & Luke) with Canon Shooting Game






5. Golden Sword 688 (Chuan Sheng, Sidney & Raj) with Battle Field











6. Golden Stars (Miya, Sarah, Sree & Zora) with Different Faces Of Characters









7. Ferrari 5 (Taiji, Krysh & Keenan) with Volcano Escape








8.Captain LOL (Michael, Suvanna & Amanda) with Dungeon Bowling







9. Diamond X (Chi Juay, Adib, Cameron, Kyana & Ashley) with Wizard vs Devil
