Taking Risks, Making Possibilities

Tech Talk by Mr. Oh Robin

Bukit Panjang Public Library, Programme Zone

Robin is a ‘makerpreneur’ who started his journey at age 23 by co-founding Designed, a carpentry design studio. Making has since become an integral part of his life and as he continued to expand on his skills, he was given an opportunity in 2014 to lead a team in running the Makerspace@NDC under OneMaker Group. Sharing his zero to hero story, Robin now seeks to encourage educators to empower students to step out of the box, as well as to inspire and mentor youths to find greater meaning in their passions.
