Testimonials

URA x CS Programme

"The workshop was a highly engaging experience for the students. The session was facilitated skillfully, using thoughtful questions to help students dig deeper into the content. By exploring the unique planning needs of three different neighborhoods, the workshop sparked a genuine curiosity in my students with some even sharing that they now want to visit and walk through these neighbourhoods themselves. The wide variety of activities encouraged teamwork, giving students a chance to practice collaborating and resolving differing views. Overall, the insightful content and focus on consensus-building made the workshop both intellectually stimulating and relevant to the students."

Teacher from Ngee Ann Secondary School

URA x CS Programme

"Students described the workshop as fun, engaging, and eye-opening, especially enjoying the hands-on hydroponics activity and urban planning simulation. These activities helped them understand how sustainability and land use decisions are made, while encouraging teamwork, creativity, and real-world thinking. Many shared that the experience deepened their interest in urban planning, sustainable farming, and Singapore’s future development. Most said they would recommend the workshop to their juniors, as it made Geography come alive beyond the classroom."

Teacher From Bartley Secondary School

URA x CS Programme

"The workshop was a valuable and engaging experience for our students at Damai Secondary School. It deepened their understanding of sustainable land-use planning and sharpened their e21cc skills in empathy and critical thinking as they designed their proposed towns. The hands-on urban farming activity further inspired eco-stewardship and helped students see their role in caring for the environment. Many left feeling energized to think more deeply about land-use decisions in Singapore and how they can contribute to a more sustainable future for Singapore."
