Days 1 to 3 will be focused on fostering 21st Century Life Skills such as creativity, innovation, collaboration and teamwork, critical thinking and problem solving
Days 4 and 5 will teach kids how to become financially literate so as to become not only good inventors but entrepreneurs as well. Kids will be brought to a shopping centre where they'll see how companies market their goods and services, they then work in teams to brainstorm, design and create their own unique toy invention. An Inventors' Fair will be held at the tail end of our camp to showcase all the inventions from our creative teams. Teams will have to impress the investors (aka parents) to invest in their product and the one with the most votes wins!
Registration is now open. Click here to request for a registration form or for more details: lorraine.paul@kidsinventasia.org.
Programme Details:
Day 1 - The Mission Gets On The Way
We have just been alerted that a large group of engineers and scientists have been captured by the evil Dr Tentacles on Octopus Island. Dr T has devised an evil plan to wipe out all inventors in the world so that he will be only one left. What he doesn't know is that the only inventors left in the world are from Singapore. We need your help to establish a new location for our spy headquarters and build new transport vehicles because the ones that we have are all broken down. We need to get to Octopus Island before it is too late!
