Hi, for those attending today’s workshop by Dr. Christine Chaille, there has been a mistake in the reminder email sent out to the cohort. The timing is 12-2pm, not 2-4pm! See you there!:) We are sorry for the inconvenience.

General notes: We apologise for the confusion yesterday. Should you be an SUSS student, we recommend you to come join us in Explorers@Makerspace instead. If you are unable to make it for makerspace and would like to join the workshops, feel free to. Vice versa for alumni/teachers. However sign up forms are different as makerspace is for present SUSS students, while workshops are for non SUSS students/alumni. More slots were open so as to be able to cater to everyone, from students to ECE teachers from partner preschools to alumni! Content of both workshops are the same, done by their respective lecturer, however the facilitation will be different due to the different makeup of participants in the room. DM us on Instagram if there are any questions! If you are a teacher from one of our partner preschools, an email will be sent to you by the end of next week, so feel free to sign up from there as well! Thank you and have a great Sunday ahead.
