Future City
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.
Over five exciting days, children will have opportunities to:
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!
