The VR experience was great and had a hands-on feel. The ability to witness the factory without actually being there was interesting.

The skytrack test drive was also wonderful.

The use of robots to efficiently assemble cars to fulfil orders (as opposed to mass production) to prevent overproduction is ingenious

The use of robots to manage the planting of seeds and the general management of the hydroponics is eye opening as it reduces the labour required and allows for large production of vegetables in a considerable limited space.

These initiatives have reduced labour intensive work for humans. Instead humans are required to understand and manage the technology

AI is a trend which is inevitable and our students need to be well equipped with the necessary skills in order to remain competitive in the job market. Other than that, having an open and adaptable mindset is also the soft skill needed to remain competitive.

We could perhaps incorporate more AI based learning or school work to enable students to be more familiar with the correct usage of AI.

2025-09-12 04:45:15 UTC

We can use the VR technology for teaching of science experiments outside of the lab or useful when trying to teach the experiments which involve toxic chemicals or have high safety risk. The smart technology is also something schools alcan explore and upgrade.

Students need to be comfortable in understanding and applying technology which definitely requires inventive, critical and adaptive thinking

Perhaps we need to increasingly expose students to problem solving opportunities that require multi disciplinary approaches. It will also be beneficial to design learning experiences that enable students to hone skills that allow them to be more confident in using AI and technology

Even government bodies are embracing AI tools (e.g. Midjourney) to help them in reshaping / reimagining the landscape of Singapore.

The use of digital twins, simulations, and geospatial data for city planning.

Stakeholder engagement in co-creating liveable spaces.

Systems thinking.

Design thinking.

Collaborative problem-solving

Embracing AI needs to start from school, to prepare students for a futuristic workplace. Project work, thanks to its open ended nature, lends itself very well for teachers and students to explore a wide repertoire of AI tools.

A shift from rote-learning / content mastery to problem solving, critical thinking, and adaptive thinking.

What needs to be done differently?

rethink our assessment (including science practical, which is currently very prescribed rather than promoting investigative thinking and exploration).
promote interdisciplinary collaboration?
cultivate adaptive mindset?

Though I am not sure to what extent points 1 and 2 are possible in a MOE school curriculum context. Perhaps MOE can explore H1 subject being a thematic module rather than being subject-based. For example, H1 Climate Change, H1 Sustainability, H1 Food Security, H1 Ageing Population, H1 Ethics in Science.

one of the key skills that stood out during the learning journey was leveraging generative AI tools for ideation and conceptual development.

in the talk hosted by URA, we used Mentimeter to gather input and co-create ideas with stakeholders. these ideas were then translated into refined design prompts using ChatGPT, and visualised through Midjourney.

the exercise focused on exploring design possibilities for underutilised urban spaces — specifically viaducts and a defined area in Marine Parade, Singapore.

when students contribute ideas and vote (e.g., via Mentimeter), and then see their input reflected in the design or ideation process, it boosts engagement, ownership, and overall buy‑in. it shifts learning away from passive reception toward active participation.

at the same time, digital literacy needs to evolve into AI literacy. students should learn how to craft better prompts in tools like ChatGPT, understand what AI can reliably do and where its limitations lie, and develop the ability to evaluate its outputs.

but with so much technology involved, it is also crucial to preserve the human side of learning. these human interactions help ground the technology, keep learning social, and ensure deeper understanding.

The use of AI for spatial visualisation and community engagement. Planners can now generate multiple visual scenarios quickly, allowing for more iterative design processes. The combination of community input with AI-generated imagery also democratises the planning process. We could see potential changes to their neighbourhoods in realistic visual formats, making abstract planning concepts more accessible and tangible.

2025-09-12 05:50:53 UTC

Students may need to develop skills in prompt engineering and AI tool utilisation.

2025-09-12 06:01:40 UTC

The use of technology and AI to gather feedback fostered a bottom-up approach that promotes inclusiveness and nurtures a consultative culture among the public.

2025-09-12 06:04:12 UTC

AI tools like ChatGPT and MidJourney have the potential to enrich teaching, personalise learning, and transform assessment, but they also challenge educators to rethink authenticity, ethics, and equity in education. The role of teachers will increasingly be not just content-delivery, but curators, guides, and mentors helping students navigate an AI-rich world with wisdom and responsibility.

The role of AI and how it helps to revolutionise Shopee to be at the forefront of the market

How AI is an enabler and a tool for Design Thinking eg human centred designs and services
