Book Club
We hosted Singapore's only kids book club that explores the impact of technology on society. The book club was open to kids who want to understand how tech will impact our world so that we can build technology for good!
Partnered with ArtScience Museum
We partnered with Singapore's ArtScience Museum to host our tech book club every two months. The book club ran regularly until December 2021, facilitated by Zara Khanna.
Each session featured an introductory summary of the book or film, followed by thought-provoking discussion questions designed to spark debate about technology's impact on humanity.
We're looking for a passionate teammate to help restart the book club — if that's you, get in touch!
