#PIDatwork – will you volunteer again? . “Definitely! I had a great time at Playeum with P!D staffs, Playeum staffs and all the other volunteers. There were a lot of opportunities to get my hands ‘dirty’, make actual objects and participate in creative designing. I was able to help and contribute to the Playeum exhibition and made my childhood dream come true. This volunteering experience has been really meaningful, and I would like to join similar projects in the future!” . - Daisy, our capable and driven Friend of P!D .

"I learnt more about planning transport infrastructure in the interest of people. I enjoyed working together with my team to complete the mission." . During the June holidays, we've had the opportunity to partner with National Design Centre and bring The Urban Explorer: Mobility Series to families! . The Urban Explorer is designed to introduce children aged 9 to 12 years old to the planning of safer, greener and people-friendly streets. The workshop offers children an easy entry point to learn about designing a neighbourhood, and also advocates from a young age the importance of building a liveable and walkable city. Children work together as a team to influence and design their neighbourhoods. . This Saturday, 16 June, from 10am-12pm, we will have our last June holidays' workshop! More details and sign-up here: http://bit.ly/UrbanExplorerNDC . We hope to see you to have some some enjoyable time together while learning! 😊
#PIDatwork – Expectations VS Reality! . "Having joined the crew in the final stages of production, I had thought that it would have been focused on creating and building the physical components of the exhibition, with the designs and plans having been finalised already. I was pleasantly surprised onsite to see how open the team was to completely revamp their ideas and seeking feedback from everyone on how we should proceed. Regardless of their background, every member of the team could influence and shape the exhibition, even this late into the process. . While the exhibition was of a smaller scale than what I had initially expected, I felt that the experiences I had there were true to the beliefs and goals of P!D. It was cool to see people of different ages with various experiences coming together to take part in this project, giving it a sort of dynamic that would not have been possible with a narrow pool of members. . Certainly, this project has increased my interest in the participatory design philosophy advocated by P!D and I hope to be able to learn more and take part in future projects with them." . ‍‍‍ – Wen Wei, our kind and patient Friend of P!D 😉 .

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to collaborate with Cooling Singapore to hear from Punggol residents how comfortable they feel whenever they are outdoors in their neighbourhood. . Cooling Singapore is a cross-institutional initiative dedicated to improving the thermal comfort of tropical Singapore. Amongst other exercises, residents voted for their favourite cooling strategies and which environmental factors influenced their thermal comfort the most. . Thanks for letting us pop-up in your neighbourhood, Punggol! . To learn more about the project: link in bio! .

#PIDatwork – will you volunteer again? . “This is my first time working with PID and Playeum. It was an eye-opening experience, to see how participatory design is so evident in Singapore. People came with so many donations(materials) and that helped us in the building process. A huge shout-out to the people who donated. . The goal was to build play zones, using recycled materials. Children could learn creatively through interaction with these play zones. The priority of building was the safety of the children. . Working with PID and Playeum has been very joyous, fun and experimental. It has taught me to be adaptive to situations that are unplanned. There were times, in the building phrase, where we had to adjust and change designs altogether. . Also, this was the first time I had to work with handheld tools, such as drills, jigsaws, sanders, etc. I have some experience in using power tools which are normally mounted to a fixed structure but never had I worked with so many handheld power tools. It was great learning how to use them and eventually becoming good at using them. . The team from Playeum and PID, were very supportive and caring. They made sure that our well-being and safety were always looked after. I fell ill during the 2nd week and everyone had asked me to go home and rest. They even offered me lozenges, a lot of water and told me to take as many breaks as I needed. Eventually I was sent home because I was too sick to continue. . The Playeum team also held a potluck to celebrate the completion of the build and to thank us for our contributions. It is very heartwarming to see that everyone really appreciates our efforts. . Overall, the build was a success and I really had so much fun. I would like to take part in projects such as these in the future. Building with purpose.” . - Ben, our helpful and resourceful Friend of P!D . Interested to join our Friend of P!D Network? Find out more here: link in bio!
