Discovery Week (working title)

Programs

Fifth Row Sessions

We intend to adhere to these principles:

  1. Equitable - Fifth Rows that want to do a workshop will have the chance to, especially if there is a proven track record of doing excellent sessions.
  2. Fair - all workshops conducted well should be supported.
  3. Incentivise right behaviour - we should provide funds to encourage a more hands-on approach, quality instructors, well-prepared material.

We’d like to support Fifth Rows in reaching out to the Freshmores but also to help Freshmores make sense of what Fifth Rows suit them best. Specifically through clear communication and categorising our workshops into tracks based on skills taught.

Talk to your Cluster Reps or catch us during the Fifth Row Forum on 10th April 2019

Human Library

Have speakers act as ‘books’ and you can ‘borrow’ their time. Execution-wise, have students ‘borrow’ the books for a fixed timeslot and rotate every hour. Possibly just have the professors at their office/ location of their choice and students can come by. Think of it as an informal way to Discover the people behind SUTD. Previous human libraries held at SUTD saw not just Professors but also researchers and students being our books.

We need coordinators for this event!

Lightning Talks

Talks that focus on the tangible SUTD experience. Get Freshmores thinking about what you others have done at SUTD and the avenues for it.

We need speakers and coordinators for this event!

Housing Sessions

House Guardians will hold an event on the first week of school followed by Friendzone Singapore. The emphasis is community building in our Freshmores’ new home.

Pillar Sessions

Experential session to expose to students what Pillar life will be like. Focus on a skill or lesson methodology that is representative of what we do once we enter our Pillars.

Supper makan sessions

Yes you heard that right! We will be providing supper most days of the week to encourage Freshmores to stay for workshops and activities after class. Also we hope that having the cohort gather regularly might help in building a stronger community through encouraging people to share about their day, hopes and experiences at SUTD.
