Tinker Fest, powered by Science Centre Singapore and Imagin8ors connects children, parents, educators and makers in a week-long celebration of the Joy of Learning - through play, exploration and experimentation.

The theme "Illusions" promotes the learning of science concepts through experiencing mind-blowing hands-on activities that challenge to watch the world from a different angle. And that is what creativity is all about!

Blended Learning Experience

These orkshops are designed by expert educators, technologists and makers to build an early foundation of 21st Century capabilities - like critical thinking, creativity, character traits and more. Each workshop covers multiple interest areas, inspires self-directed, open-ended learning, and encourages children to use technology in an active and useful way.

Workshops are best experienced using the Imagin8ors App to amplify the hands-on learning. You can access learning content and activities on the app before the workshop to build anticipation in your child, use the app during the workshop as a guide for inspiration, and take home 100s of hours of learning activities to do at home after the workshop.
