Ever wonder why flowers are coloured, and how a plant drinks? Flowers are not only beautiful, but also crucial for plant reproduction. In this workshop, students observe how plants transport water and make their own coloured flowers. Students also learn about the parts of a flower and create their very own collage using flowers as an art medium.Venue: Beyond Awesome HeadQuarters (315 Outram Road, #08-06A Tan Boon Liat Building)Time: 3PM to 5:30PM*The cost operates on a play-it-forward model - where your child's fee will cover the cost of another youth to attend either the same workshop or one we hold in future.

Our definition of success is to see each student's emotional intelligence, resilience, confidence and compassion for others be developed throughout our program offerings and to ensure that compassion + empathy are the DNA of every class we run.There is no such thing as a 'quiet classroom' at our headquarters as we believe learning takes place through communication amongst peers, collaboration and learn-by-doing (and failing)! We run programs such as mindfulness, sport + wellness, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Architecture + Math) and provide once in a lifetime opportunities for our students to personally visit inspiring, innovative, big-name corporates and brands like Twitter.At Beyond Awesome, students explore the world around them and discover friendships and their potential in life. Our program goals are to nurture and develop each student in our care, so that they leave with the skills, knowledge and attitude necessary to be a world-ready individual in today's fast changing era. We combine uniquely big opportunities through offerings such as our 'JalanJalan' experiences with personalised care and individual attention.Students from high-need communities attend our sessions at no cost, many of whom these opportunities would not be accessible given their families financial background.
