The June School Holidays may be over but kids get an extra long weekend of FREE fun - thanks to the Youth Day holiday on 2 July - with a slew of innovative and educational activities at The Kidz Academy!
Back from 29 June to 1 July 2018, The Kidz Academy is a sister event of SmartKids Asia and will be held at Singapore Expo Hall 6. This year, the three-day event is going innovative, with many exciting and interactive additions showcasing latest trends and happenings.
Targeting primary school-going students, the free-to-attend event boasts so many activities that it can get a tad mind-boggling. But no need to fret, I have done the homework and sussed out the best activities that all kids will love!
COMPETITIONS GALORE!
One of the main focus of the Kidz Academy this year is to allow kids aged 7 to 12 years old different platforms to showcase their talent and see how they fare when competing alongside one another. So for the first time ever, it will be conducting three exciting competitions for kids to participate in:
Asia Pacific Youth Robotics Competition (APYRC)
An annual event organised by IN3LABS PTE LTD, APYRC is a robotics competition for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) that brings young people together to develop problem solving skills and creativity. This is a well-rounded event for students to design and build a robot to compete in the various robotics challenges.
Elite Sport Stacking Championships 2018
WSSA-SG-TKA Asians’ Elite Sport Stacking Championships 2018 is a unique Sport Stacking competition with about 100 participants from 5 Asian countries participating in Individual, Doubles, Parent-child and Relay events. Sport Stacking athletes will face-off with their skill in Sport Stacking. Sport Stacking is also known as the Ultimate Track Meet for the hands where well-trained athletes Stack-Up and Down-stack cups at warp speed.
Speak Up! Kids
Back for the third time, Speak Up! Kids is Singapore’s first national public speaking competition for primary level students. Created by Sphere Exhibits and Speech Academy Asia, this competition serves as a public speaking platform for the young. The competition is aimed at inculcating the ‘Three C’s mindset’ – Communication, Confidence and Creativity.
But more than just competitions, The Kidz Academy offers a wide range of interactive science and activities for kids too!
