Future City
Little Innovators: Design Your Future City (Ages 6-8)
Big Ideas, Little Innovators, Greener Futures!
What if your child could design a city that makes the world a better place?
At Little Innovators: Design Your Future City, children become young architects, engineers, scientists and city leaders as they imagine, design and build a greener, safer and more sustainable city of tomorrow!
Through exciting hands-on projects, creative challenges and real-world experiments, children will discover how cities work and explore ways to protect our planet. From designing eco-friendly buildings and creating flood prevention systems to testing water quality and exploring sustainable food solutions, every activity encourages curiosity, teamwork and creative problem-solving.
Inspired by global sustainability goals, this camp introduces children to environmental awareness and sustainable living in a fun, age-appropriate and meaningful way.
What Your Child Will Experience
Over five exciting days, children will have opportunities to:
- Design a Greener City – Plan eco-friendly neighbourhoods, buildings, parks and transportation systems that are better for people and the planet.
- Become Young Scientists & Engineers – Explore water filtration, flood prevention and other hands-on experiments to tackle real-world environmental challenges.
- Discover Sustainable Living – Learn about recycling, composting, urban farming and protecting nature through creative projects.
- Think Like a City Leader – Work together to solve problems, make decisions and develop ideas that help create a safer, healthier community.
- Bring Their Dream City to Life – Combine their ideas into a future city plan and proudly present their creations to their fellow innovators.
Building Skills for a Brighter Tomorrow
More than just a camp about designing cities, this programme encourages children to think creatively, communicate their ideas, collaborate with others and develop an early understanding of environmental responsibility.
By the end of the week, your child will have explored how small ideas can contribute to a greener future, while gaining hands-on experience, new friendships and a greater appreciation for the world around them.
Big ideas start small. Let your little innovator help shape a greener tomorrow!
