Design camps for kids make learning fun

DesignTinkers founder Ms Tessa Ng embarked on her architectural teaching journey at SP in 2010, where she taught students from the Diploma in Architecture. She later lived with her family in London from 2016 to 2020, where she was inspired by the Royal Institute of British Architects’ programme to introduce architecture to children in schools. This led her to start DesignTinkers in Singapore, as a platform for children to explore and learn beyond the classroom. DesignTinkers’ signature camps are a mainstay of the curriculum. The first is a three-day Design A Home camp, where pupils apply design thinking principles to better understand the needs and challenges of the people they are designing for. They also learn basic space planning for a home.
