Get ready for more than 60 interactive and experiential booths, workshops, talks and even a play zone all dedicated to teaching families the benefits of incorporating technology into their daily lives. Are you in? We’ve got all the deets you need to know!
A digital adventure for the whole family at Smart Nation & U
If you’ve been wanting to get your kids interested in tech, here’s your chance. At Smart Nation Singapore and NTUC U Live Community, you’ll get to immerse yourselves in enriching activities that are all about boosting techy skills and getting you all up-to-date with the latest gadgets. There’ll be more than 60 experiential tech showcases from the likes of Skillsfuture Singapore and GovTech Singapore, among others. Not only that, the folks from Bus Uncle Company and SG Assist will be there to give the lowdown on how to create your own apps and how you can make the most of their offerings. The kids will love playing at the demo play zone where they’ll get to tinker with state-of-the-art tech gadgets like Jimu robots. They can even create music through body movements and watch their favourite characters come to life with augmented reality. How cool is that?!
While you’re there, don’t forget to hop on the electric trishaw for a free ride and participate in an AR colouring activity by Singapore Airlines. If that isn’t enough to keep the kids busy, you can also join our Spin and Win Quest where you embark on a techxploration journey and try your luck in winning attractive prizes like an Amazon Fire 7 Tablet, Echo Spot and more!
There’s stuff for Grandma and Grandpa too!
If you’re bringing the grandparents, why not sign them up for the U Live Symposium? It’s just $10 for any two workshops that comes with a symposium pack filled with goodies for active agers aged 50 and above. There are more than 20 different workshops to choose from such as ‘Introduction to drones’ and ‘Cyber Attacks & Scams Prevention’ that covers steps on how to avoid phishing and other common scams. Plus, for every two workshops registered, active agers are entitled to free Smart Ah Ma workshops to learn more about useful government apps to make their lives easier. Sweet!
