SINGAPORE – A group of pupils at Xingnan Primary School in Jurong West helped to design a multi-purpose room in their school, something which even most adults might not have done before. They worked with coaches to turn their sketches into reality, learning lessons beyond the classroom in the process.
When the school leadership wanted to redesign an empty classroom with a sustainability theme, it approached Ms Sim Shoo Shyuan to tap her team’s expertise. She is the co-founder and director of The Possible Class, a firm that conducts design and architecture workshops.
