SUTD Electronic Vehicle Design Challenge
The SUTD Electric Vehicle Design Challenge (EVDC) was launched in 2018 with the key objective of kindling interest in technology and design amongst youths through a fun and exciting challenge that reinforces and brings to life, key concepts that they have learnt within their school curriculum. The Challenge typically takes place in May of each year, with participants from pre-university institutions in Singapore.

Park(ing) Day

Inspired by the Park(ing) Day international movement, SUTD architecture professor and students in collaboration with local NGOs Participate-in-Design (P!D) and ReallyArchitecture (re:ACT), started Singapore's very own Park(ing) Day back in 2013, as an experiment to rethink our urban spaces.
Park(ing) Day is a 1-day event, including setting up and tear-down, where participants will be able to experience urban design, real-world prototyping, community engagement, creative expression, etc. while at the same time appreciate urban culture and other sustainability values, and be part of a national ground-up movement.
It is easy to convert a parking lot into a new public space with simple props, all you need is creative ideas.
Each year, our students from the Fifth Row club - SUTDio, will conduct design workshops with the participating schools for the ideation of their Park(ing) Day installations. SUTD students will also share their experience and facilitate the understanding of the site, development of ideas, prototype making and etc., through the one-day workshop and site recce.

MOE Innovation Programme
The MOE Innovation Programme (IvP) is one of the special programmes organised by the MOE Gifted Education Branch, designed to provide a unique opportunity for students in the Gifted Education Programme to develop critical skillsets such as problem solving and innovation.
SUTD has joined the IvP as a partner institution since 2017. Our faculty members participate as Innovation Mentors to share their knowledge and expertise in design thinking and other disciplines, and to provide their mentees with feedback and advice on the feasibility of their ideas, as well as how to bring those ideas into a prototype.
Visit the MOE website for more information about the IvP.
