The digital world is super fun! Yet, kids find it hard to transition from an online activity to an offline one. It is also difficult for parents to pull children away from these devices and manage screen time. However, to be ready for the digital world, it is important to learn how to manage digital distractions and make responsible choices in the digital world. Seize this opportunity to create a personalised media plan that you will be motivated to follow!
• Appreciate the importance of balancing digital device usage.
• Learn to spot the signs of device over-usage.
• Create a personal plan or work in a group to maintain a healthy screen time balance.
This programme is meant for children aged 7 to 12.

Create a Superhydrophobic Coating @ Jurong Regional Library

We have always been fascinated by the ability of the lotus leaf to stay dry even under heavy rain, or after being submerged in water.
This is because the lotus leaf has a super water repellent ability on its surface called superhydrophobicity. As a water repellent coating, it has many potential applications.
In this workshop, participants will be taught how to make a simple coating process to create a super-hydrophobic surface, mimicking the lotus leaf effect.
This session is in collaboration with Nanyang Polytechnic.
