1 November 2023
Year 2 Josephians presented their Hive 5 design to the Minister for Education. Read how they reimagined spaces for older people.
A group of Year 2 Josephians was selected to present their project, The Hive 5, to the Minister for Education, Mr Chan Chung Sing at the National Design Summit, an initiative of the Design Education Advisory Committee.
The National Design Project is a design event for youths to raise the appreciation of design, and design as a process for creative problem solving for real-world issues. For this event, Josephians looked at Design for Wellness.
Team Trailblazing Thinkers comprised Adrien Lim (team lead), Elliot D’Cruz, Gabriel Ho, Jayden Ong, and Joshua Chew, with mentors Mrs Pennie Ong (SJI) and Mr David Tham (Studio Norms).
The Hive 5 created spaces for elderly where they could spend their time meaningfully, and with independence. It also served as a space for time with loved ones.
