On Wednesday, 7 February 2018, Pathlight’s students in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Club went on a Learning Journey to the Enabling Village. There, they learned more about how to design assistive devices to suit the needs of elderly people in Singapore. Under the friendly, patient guidance of staff working for Tech Enable, our students learned about design for stability, leg space and maneuverability, such as how the three-wheeled scooter was designed with more leg space as compared to the four-wheeled one! Students then completed a worksheet and were given an opportunity to try out some assistive devices such as wheelchairs and scooters. It was an enriching experience that may just give rise to a brilliant young future inventor!
Our Primary 2 students visited the art exhibition, “Is Anyone Home”, at National Museum on 29 Jan. Organised by the community arts movement, Superhero Me, as part of Singapore Art Week, it features artworks created by children who are socially or economically disadvantaged, including those with special needs. Our students interacted with and immersed themselves in the exhibits, gaining some insight into the challenges of some of their peers.
At the end, they had the opportunity to create their own dream home using various craft materials, proving that art can truly be a universal language for understanding.
It was an enriching and enlightening learning experience for everyone!

Through these workshops, our students enjoyed stories told through music, puppets and dramatisations that promote positive values. They also had the opportunity to create their own hand puppets and told stories with them. It was a fun-filled learning experience for everyone!
