Youth Creativity, Innovation & Sustainable Leadership Program
with Singapore Polytechnic School of Architecture & Built Environment
A workshop to explore the creative universe of young students for the benefit of environmental sustainability.

Venue: Stanford University

Students from Singapore Polytechnic visited Stanford and the Bay Area for a CSDGC Youth Leadership Development workshop. They attended talks by Stanford instructors, took part in creativity exercises and projects, and went on field trips. Their project experience took them step-by-step through the stages of product development, and exercises in teamwork provided a platform for discussion about youth leadership.

Key elements of the workshop included:

• Talks by Douglas Osheroff, Glenn Katz, Jie Wang and Mi Feng.
• Visits to the Computer History Museum, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), and the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve.
• Discussions about identifying opportunities, instrinsic motivation and meaningful innovation for the youth context.
• SkillScan Assessment Counseling.
