Digital Fabrication Space

What is the Digital Fabrication Space (DFS) all about?

The Digital Fabrication Space (DFS) has traditionally been a hotbed of purposeful activity for the schooling community. Since its inception, numerous school groups have been purposefully engaged in a host of STEM workshops through which they have become conversant with the tools and skills of digital fabrication.

Building on the success of this, the Centre has broadened the scope and accessibility of DFS programmes by facilitating vibrant internships as well as purposeful partner-run programmes by Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) and industry. These initiatives dovetail perfectly, enabling the DFS to transcend its functionality as a mere space for activity into an endearing and dynamic gateway to STEM education.

By acquiring the STEM Mindset, learners gain the confidence to harness technology and apply that competently in problem solving, prototyping and product development.

Through the continual refinement of its initiatives, philosophy and values, Science Centre Singapore is confident that the DFS will remain relevant and relatable to every learner that comes through its doors.

All those who enrol in the STEM programmes facilitated at the DFS will join a community of learners where their experiences will shape a positive mindset towards STEM applications and careers.

Science Centre Singapore wishes all aspiring learners an enlightening and empowering journey ahead!

The Digital Fabrication Space is located within the Einstein Room on level two of Science Centre Singapore.
