Thinkers' Programme

SHHK Thinkers Programme is organised by Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan for selected Primary 4 students.

This programme aims to:

  • develop students’ confidence, analytical and problem-solving competencies

  • expose students to areas of STEM and how technology can improve our way of life.

Under this programme, students attend training sessions on Design Thinking, Artificial Intelligence for Kids (AI4K), coding, pitching and presentation skills. Thereafter, they work in groups of 4 and propose creative solutions that make use of Design Thinking and AI4K methodologies to solve authentic problems under the mentorship of their teacher-facilitators.

Three panels showing students in classrooms and a video call with many participants in a grid view.

During the programme, students come up with prototypes of their solutions, record their video presentations and submit Powerpoint presentations which describe their proposed solution and explain their ideation process.

Students in masks present school projects including Smart Cane, Multi-Purpose Watch, and Holographic SmartWatch on projected slides.

The Thinkers Programme culminates in a Thinkers Showcase at the end of the year where the best teams from all 5 SHHK schools come together and pitch their solutions to a panel of judges.
