The journey for SIP the past semester has been truly eye opening and meaningful for me. I have learnt so many things from this module such as design thinking and prototyping. It was really enjoyable to be able to think of an idea that would help others in any way and to come up with a prototype. It was an experience that I’ve never been through before. SIP allowed me to learn how to be more empathetic and think of things from other people’s point of view.

It was fun and nice to work with people from different courses and schools. It allowed me to see things from many different views as well. Through this experience, I also learnt to work well with other people and to listen to other people’s opinions.

Lastly, I would like to thank Ms Audrey for her patience in guiding us throughout this entire journey and always making sure that each and everyone of us understands what is going on during lessons

SIP is definitely one of the most interesting modules that i have taken in poly currently! Thinking back, the fact that we had one whole semester to carefully think about our problems, user’s needs, actual concept, and then implementing it out as a prototype was really a fruitful experience for me. Not to mention that there really was ample time and it was just perfect for us to come out with the best solutions! I enjoyed the whole module very much as I had many takeaways from all the different skills and templates provided to us throughout the project progress. The designing of the prototype and making it interactive stood out to me most as it was my first time actually implementing our concept and it was a cool experience I will never forget! The only pity for this module was that we could not see each other in class and did not have the face to face experience as a whole class. :(

Nevertheless, thank you Ms Audrey for patiently guiding us through this interesting module! Everyone did a good job :)

SIP was a very interesting experience for me and I honestly had fun throughout the entire journey. The concept of SIP is new to me and I find that the things taught were really valuable and that everyone should have exposure to it. This module made me realize how important design thinking tools were and how useful it can be when working with projects like this. I am grateful to be able to work with awesome teammates from different courses. I feel especially thankful to Ms. Audrey for guiding us through this module.

1 thing that left a lasting impression on me after my SIP journey is that I did not know that even me being a student, I can actually contribute to make the society better through my group's social innovation concept of a cyber wellness ambassador website with unique features like a 24/7 chatbot, tailor made activities.etc. in accordance to the cyberbullying issue. I also learnt that including the target users' participation in developing our prototype is a very crucial step as it will allow us to touch up on our prototype such that it really is able to help our target user.
1 life skill that I have learnt is how to pitch my idea effectively to the audience such that I can actually gain valuable feedbacks from them on how I can improve my final solution because innovation is all about creativity and relevance so having more valuable feedback will definitely be able to help me make our final solution even better. This pitching skills will be something that I used in future as I believed that in future,  I will also have to pitch my idea to my target audience for a proposal approval.
Lastly, thank you Ms Audrey for always patiently guiding us and giving us valuable feedbacks along the way. I really enjoyed myself in this SIP journey!

SIP journey is an valuable and insightful one as we got to experience creating a prototype out of our concept and even a website for consumers, i have never thought of creating a project that could help and do my contribution to the society, this is indeed a rewarding experience for me.
1 life skill i have learnt was to utilize prototyping and ideation. We have to generate ideas on what are the prototype that could be feasible to our target audience and what is the best way that they could be benefited from it. Furthermore, we have to gather feedback from users and even implement, innovate and even improvise on our current prototype. These are indeed essential to doing our FYP in the future. Lastly , Thank you Ms Audrey for the guidance you had given us and this is indeed a meaningful journey.

i feel that SIP journey has been interesting and  meaningful. By nature, I am someone who is very introverted, however i felt that i took a big step in working with my teammates to deliver the final project and I am proud of my team and the final work we managed to deliver. I am also thankful for Ms Audrey for being an extremely helpful lecturer and providing guidance along the way.

SIP is a valuable module for SP students to undertake as it exposes students to a whole new concept  of design thinking and framework. It gives plenty of room for students express their ideas freely while having a backbone of design tools and process to follow. It is important in cultivating innovation and creativity in students especially in this day and age where the rise of technology can deplete creativity capabilities. Furthermore, by working with students from other academic schools we had to learn to work with people who have different backgrounds and views come to a consensus to reach a common goal. Over time, we grew to be more comfortable with each other, despite not meeting face to face.

From the whole SIP experience I have learnt to be more empathetic towards societal issues as well as more open minded to watch different views in solving different situations. The nature of SIP is that it allows us to be the most hands-on as compared to the other SPEAR modules I have taken in the past and encourages us to dive deeper into creation. It was also very interesting to see how different groups come up with concepts and prototypes I would not have thought about as solutions for their user.

Though the content may be confusing and hard to digest at one glance at times, thanks to Ms Audrey‘s guidance and patience in helping us understand SIP‘s content better, we were able to grow from this experience. Thank you Ms Audrey for being so considerate towards us! It truly is a memorable experience which I would not forget in my SP journey. As I have grown to be more mentally, emotionally, and hopefully physically (ha ha) through this semester in taking this unique, tedious but rewarding module as I am more socially aware of the know-how’s of design thinking, putting it into action and satisfaction when our final solution is presented.

SIP was definitely an interesting module that taught us how to be empathetic towards another community, where we have to learn to see and understand from their perspective the issues that they are facing. It also taught us to be insightful from their viewpoints and help them to create an innovative solution. Not only that, I have also learnt to understands the emotions and feelings that the communities were experiencing while facing the issues such as the regrets from starting smoking and frustration from being unable to quit smoking. However, SIP module was somewhat difficult for me to understand at first as I wasn't very good with communications and being empathetic, but after learning through the module lessons and observing the interviews, I came to a better understanding of what SIP really was. I would also like to thank my teammates for being very supportive and participative when working together. I would say that I could not have done it without them. Subsequently, I really appreciate Ms Audrey as well and would like to thank her for being so nice and caring to us through the whole module, and she taught us very well.

I felt that the 1 thing that SIP left a lasting impression on me was the discussion I had with my teammates. As we all came from different courses, I really loved the ideas that my different course mates provide as normally if were to have similar course mates like we did in CAT & NAT. Our ideas and thinking are pretty much the same and we are always on the same page. But as for SIP we were all very diverse I felt it was very insightful I felt in your discussion giving different ideas that we would not have discussed of in our with our course mates.
The like skill that i picked up in my SPEAR journey I felt was most prevalent the pitching and the prototyping. These two life skills has taught me the importance of using it in my future. In the case of pitching I feel that it is a good way in portraying your idea and in a short and simple manner than an essay or a speech to present. As for prototyping, I feel that this will work in many aspects in my life where if I were to have an business idea and want to present to I can make a prototype and ask around my peers to see how they will react to and provide constructive feedback. Once done i can evaluate my prototype and finalize it to perfect before showing off my finished product.
All in all, I feel that SIP is an important module that teaches us many aspects of our future uses and daily aspect of our life!

I enjoyed every of the SIP lessons. SIP has instilled some awareness and knowledge on me about the community and the challenges that they faced. Design thinking has effectively helped me to empathize with the people, identify their areas of concern, and come out with various ideas and create a prototype that solves their concern. Thanks to Ms. Audrey's guidance in this SIP module, I am now able to give back to the community. SIP has also helped me build upon my personal growth.  For example, I am now able to accept feedbacks positively from my team. Overall, this SIP journey has been the most meaningful one for me.

SIP was truly the most unique module in all 3 semesters so far. Not only is it one of the few SPEAR modules, which are already extremely foreign to me as someone who has learned through scientific thinking more, I had to work with people I never knew before. Even though I had a similar experience when I first tried a part-time job, I was thrown out of left field as I could not simply sit and wait for instructions. However, I am glad that things went smoothly throughout this entire term, and I am sure that is because the rest of my team were extremely cooperative,
understanding and effective workers!

SIP has been a really fun module. i enjoyed it a lot. It has taught me how to work together with different people of different skillset in a team and learn different design thinking tool that i can apply in the future. Through doing interviews, i have learnt more about the community we targeted and also how to carry a conversation and open up more. It has been a great journey. Thank you to everyone involved :)!

SIP is truly one of the most interesting and, in a way, one of the most "hands on" modules I have ever taken. Despite the current situation with the pandemic, I really appreciate that our lecturer, Ms Audrey, manages to make sure that we are always on the right track of the lessons, as I do often face difficulties in keeping up with online lessons. SIP has been really eye-opening for me, and it's a totally new experience. Even after taking CAT and NAT as modules, SIP stands out to me because it requires me to apply the things I had previously learned from CAT and NAT into a social innovation project that my group members and I slowly built up over the weeks. Personally, it was difficult at first to cope as we had to have weekly group meetings, which were very very important. Oftentimes, the group faced minor difficulties in coordinating a common time to meet, and thus we usually set our meeting times at night. While slightly tedious in the beginning, I gradually came to appreciate these meetings, as they are very crucial to keeping up with the group's plans and progress, and not to mention that the meetings can be quite fun sometimes. Furthermore, I am really grateful for the experience of being put into a group with students from other schools. This turned out to be quite surprising as I am not really the biggest fan of being put in unfamiliar situations, but as we grew to know each other slightly better, I found myself feeling more comfortable during meetings and I'm also really happy to see the group being able to joke and laugh together as we progressed through the weeks. Once again, I want to thank Ms Audrey for being such an amazing lecturer who always keeps our spirits high with her friendliness and care, and also for taking us through SIP so well. Overall, SIP is an amazing module and I really benefitted and learned a lot from not only the module, but the people that I got to know through it.

I really enjoyed every process of SIP from the project statement to ideation and prototyping. Each and every step has got me thinking and I learnt a lot from the project. Through the e-gallery walk and presentations of other groups, i saw that there was more problems in  Singapore that had yet to be solved. All the groups had came out with interesting prototypes to overcome the problem which was interesting and fun to see. I have also learnt some design thinking skills and knowing all these social problems gave me an another outlook of life. It was an enriching journey that i will always remember.
P.S. Ms Audrey, i love your lessons and how you always try to talk to each one of us to make sure we are clear on what to do and always answer our questions. Thank You XD

I have definitely gained many valuable insights through this SIP journey. I was pretty apprehensive and hesistant at the start of the semester especially being amidst a pandemic but i learnt so much through this module. This module has broaden my view on various social issues faced by the community and allowed me to develop a deeper understanding on how i can bring about change in my own way. Cyberbullying has been a prevalent subject in Singapore and has definitely grown to be a more serious issue as we live in a digital age, i never thought i could make much of a difference but through the SIP module i was able to pick up skills through the various design thinking frameworks such as in depth research on our chosen issue, idea generation, prototype and persona creation, gathering user feedback and even learning to be more empathatic to the needs and struggles of others. I was able to better understand the needs of cyberbullying victims and subsequently, design a program alongside my group to meet their needs and help them through their recovery. While the process was tedious, when we received user feedback on how our program had the potential to help others and even is something they would use, it was very heartening to hear. I am encouraged to continue applying the lessons i have learnt in SIP in my life. Throughout the entire SPEAR journey, I have improved on the self- directedness life skill the most, this journey has exposed me to working with different groups of people and i learnt how we as youths are able to make a difference in our own ways. Especially because of the pandemic, i understood the importance of taking iniative and being driven in my work. While we were guided by our lecturers, much freedom was given for us to ideate and work together- this was something i thoroughly enjoyed :)

Lastly, thank you Ms Audrey for planning our lessons each week and ensuring we are clear about what we need to do!

Out of all the communication modules I have taken, I actually enjoyed SIP the most. It involved designing a prototype app which I had fun doing. I was also given an opportunity to work with people from other schools. This definitely was a challenge as we came from different backgrounds. But, we got over that and worked towards one common goal. Through SIP, I learned how to be more empathetic towards others in the community. Realising that different people lived lives in different circumstances, I learnt to be more socially aware and knowledgeable. Thanks to Ms Audrey who always broke down the content in each lesson to be easily digested, I understand better now on how to apply design thinking in the project.

This SIP module was totally an eye-opener. I got to work with people from different schools and learn how to work with them and improve the way I work on projects. Thank you SIP. Very cool.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like this SIP journey has taught me what i should consider if i were to start a project which requires me to come up with a prototype. It seems quite impossible to start from scratch with no direction initially, however I learnt from SIP the few steps that i can take to start my project, and it is to use all the designing thinking tools and etc. Overall, my SIP journey is good due to my amazing team members.

# data[].attributes.body
i feel that SIP journey has been interesting and meaningful regarding the design thinking. i got the chance to work with many other people and also research on family relationship. It been rly rewarding to come up with prototype. I think that thru the design thinking frameworks i have learnt many ways to understand the users.

# data[].attributes.body
SIP has been an interesting module where i could try to solve society issues and also working with people from different school/ This really is an eye-opener for me. SIP have also make me to be more confident when  speaking to others and also have improve my self-directed learning as due to this situation a lot of things we need to do by ourselves.

Thank you Ms Audrey for all the guidance you gave. it was a truly an honor to be in your class.

And also a big thank you to my team members, you guys have made my SIP journey amazing. :)

I personally feel that this SIP journey has been a meaningful and enriching one for me as I learnt many useful skills. The one that left a lasting impression on me is when my group & I researched on the cyber bullying victims. I was quite shocked and sad to hear about their heartbreaking experience with cyber bullying, which made me realize that we should think before we upload anything online to ensure that no one gets heard. In my opinion, from the SPEAR journey, I learnt to show more empathy towards others and understand what they are going through. Overall, I really enjoyed this SIP journey! :)))

SIP is the best module I've ever taken, I absolutely love it. I got to work with people from different courses, I expected SIP to be tough at the start because we're taking it virtually and I was worried it would be hard to work with others online. Overall, the SIP journey has been very meaningful and enriching. I wasn't very optimistic initially about having SPEAR modules online as the past communication modules all required us to have good communication with my teammates. The part that got me worried was not bonding well with my team and honestly it felt like that initially. But over time the weekly calls that we had got more interesting when we shared our ideas and views about certain things. We occasionally disagree about how we want to do things but as we get to know each other better, we try and explain our point of views and see who's opinion would be better for that scenario.
After hearing about my other friend's experience with SIP, i'm really fortunate and proud to say that I met an amazing group of people, they were all very cooperative and would always attend the weekly calls based on the agreed time. For my other SPEAR modules, i've met group members that wouldn't their share of the work or ignoring whatsapp messages when asked up to meet up.
Ms Audrey was also an awesome lecturer, i really appreciate her taking up the time to give us feedback on our weekly assignments. Although the sessions may be short, I still treasure those 30-40 mins call that we would have every week. I also liked how she would break down those complicated information on blackboard for us to understand. Thank you very much Ms Audrey :)

I honestly feel that through out all of these I learn of course is the design thinking tool process, teamwork and respecting each idea and trying our best implementing every single one of it, so we are all in this together. During the interview I have learned so much from the interviewee that made open my mind towards the issue as whole for us students during CB and that I should not be saddened by this and just persevere it through as it is best interest for everyone in Singapore get by this crisis quickly as possible. we must adapt to changes whether we like it or not. And even so going through the gallery walk and also the final presentation i learn every step of the way of group and our project . It was all very meaningful and i appreciate what I learn here in SIP, an enjoyable journey. Thank you Ms Audrey for your kindness and knowledge you have given us. :)
