In an era where technology is the universal language, giving children the tools to speak it fluently is the greatest gift we can provide. On October 25th and 26th, 2025, the IMDA (Infocomm Media Development Authority) and The Young Maker (TYM) are joining forces at VivoCity to transform the way we perceive tech education.

The Digital for Life Festival 2025 is not just an event; it is a glimpse into the future of learning. If you are a parent, educator, or tech enthusiast, understanding how TYM is bridging the gap between consumption and creation is essential.

A Hub of Creativity: The Young Maker Booth at VivoCity

Located in the Emerging Tech zone, The Young Maker booth prioritizes interaction, inspiration and brings ideas to life.

Three Immersive Zones: Where Curiosity Meets Technology

The Young Maker has curated three distinct zones to showcase the full spectrum of modern engineering and digital literacy.

Zone 1: The Maker’s Corner – Real Projects, Real Impact

The Maker’s Corner is a celebration of “Hands-On” experimentation. Here, the focus shifts from the mentors to the students.

  • Student Presentations: Witness brilliant young minds like Hong Yi, Vansh, Clover, and Advaith as they present Smart Site projects.

Zone 2: The Robotics League – Engineering for a Greener Planet

Robotics at TYM is always purposeful. In Zone 2, we tackle global challenges through automation and mechanical engineering.

  • LEGO Spike – Recycling Sorter: An automated system that utilizes advanced color sensors to detect, categorize, and sort recyclables with surgical precision.
  • Recycling Crane: A brand-new, radio-controlled exhibit that demonstrates the power of wireless mechanical operation and heavy-lifting logic.

Zone 3: Artificial Intelligence – The Power of Pose Recognition

We believe AI should be demystified. In Zone 3, we use Google Teachable Machine to show that anyone can build a machine learning model.

  • Interactive AI: Visitors can train computers to recognize their own images, sounds, and poses.
  • No-Code Innovation: We prove that creating AI models for apps and sites is fast and easy, requiring no previous coding expertise.

Why The Young Maker? “Code Today, Innovate Tomorrow”

The core mission of TYM is to equip students for the Data Era. By integrating coding, robotics, and engineering, we foster a unique cognitive development that goes beyond the screen. We don’t just teach kids how to use technology; we teach them how to build it. 

Ready to Build the Future? Join The Young Maker Today!

Technology is no longer just a skill—it is the tool your child will use to change the world. At The Young Maker, we believe every student has the potential to move from being a consumer of technology to a brilliant creator. Our mission is simple: Code Today, Innovate Tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Digital for Life Festival?

It is a flagship event organized by the IMDA to encourage Singaporeans to embrace digital learning and technology. The Young Maker is a featured partner in the Emerging Tech section.

Activities are designed for children and teenagers, but the exhibits are fascinating for tech-curious individuals of all ages. No prior experience is needed!

They will learn the fundamentals of Machine Learning using Google Teachable Machine, specifically focusing on how a computer can be trained to recognize human poses and movements to control a program.

Absolutely. Our teachers will have QR codes available for you to scan and sign up for trial classes or view our comprehensive curriculum roadmap on the spot.

It combines environmental awareness with high-tech sensors. It uses LEGO Spike technology and color sensors to simulate real-world industrial sorting processes used in sustainable waste management.

No, all interactive demonstrations and the Codequest challenge at the IMDA festival are free for the public.

They are actual students from The Young Maker who have developed their own “Smart Site” projects to show their peers what is possible.

We primarily utilize LEGO Spike kits and Micro:bit for the sorter and radio-controlled mechanical systems for the crane, highlighting both autonomous and manual engineering.
