Art Club: Turning Plastics into Toys Workshop

Hi everyone! Art Club pupils visited the community lab at United World College South East Asia. We attended a Turning Plastics into Toys workshop. The pupils learnt about makers mindset and environmental issues. Prior to the visit, the facilitators learnt about our art class lessons on The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Since the workshop has similar intent, it wasn't difficult to request the facilitator to touch on the same topic when the pupils come to visit. I think that to have different people delivering the same message in different context meant that numerous opportunities were provided for children to revisit and think about the issue.
