RE: NPGC3 Postponement
Dear Gamemakers,
In lieu of the recent changes to school protocols due to the CoVid19, NPGC3 2020 will be postponed to 2021. The Organising Committee (OC) had deliberated long and hard on the best alternative way to conduct the event but saw no other way to circumvent this. The OC foresee difficulties in meeting up with students for training, meetings etc. With masks on it would be difficult to communicate effectively. Meetings via video conference applications too will be challenging based from our own experiences during Full Home Based Learning.
As such, the committee regretfully has taken the decision as mentioned in the above to postpone the event.
To facilitate NPGC3 2021, we will keep to the theme, number of competitions and or any other requirement as to what was originally stipulated prior to FHBL. Schools and teams that have sent in their write ups or proposals will have their submissions automatically brought forward to 2021. Such teams need not submit their proposals again.
We apologise for any inconvenience and hope the above measures would help to ease to the challenges faced by schools and teams in preparation for NPGC3.
Best Regards,
NPGC3 Organising Committee 2020

Important Announcement
Dear Game Makers (GMs),
With the uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the NPGC3 Organising Committee (OC) has decided that the format for NPGC3 2020 will be modified. The decision comes after careful consideration, as protecting the health of our participants and supporters our topmost priority.
As such, we will NOT be having our usual Finals where students meet to showcase their products in September. We will however continue with all submissions online. The timeline as indicated in our Information Package (IP)2020 sent previously will remain intact with the exception of the Finals in September. All results will be announced via email and MOTD in August 2020.
We deeply regret to inform all GMs that the Drone Category will be cancelled for this year. We sincerely apologise for schools that have already sent their artwork to be considered. We saw no other way to organise this category in a fair and or secure manner.
Do note that there will be NO face to face training for this year. All supported training from Wellington Primary School and our Partners will be via online videos and other sources only.
Thank you GMs, your kind understanding and patience is greatly appreciated. Let’s do our part by staying safe and strong.

Maker Faire Singapore: For Educators and Students
Are you a student or a school group visiting Maker Faire Singapore? Or a teacher looking for opportunities that the Maker movement offers for Education? Then, here are a few highlights that you should not miss.
Labs Central If you are on a time crunch, Labs Central will give you the best overview of the maker ecosystem in Singapore. From hobby makers to crafters, communities, organizations and institutes, these carefully selected group of makers will give you a great introduction to how the maker movement can influence your thinking, right from the very young.
At the young makers area, schools and families will be sharing their interactive projects. We are seeing an increasing number of young makers over the last few years, something that really heartens us. Here, teachers can drop in to find out how schools are embracing the maker culture. Parents can drop by to chat with other parents on how they incorporate Making into their everyday activities.
Interested in the role of technology in the maker movement ? From arduinos to IoT, robotics and VR, at the techzone, you can find out how these tools can be effectively employed for projects.
Join the many free workshops happening during the Faire. Recommended for students are the many workshops happening as part of the developer track (Register at http://goo.gl/forms/2YGLio17BtSqzJOg1)
Scratch + Makey Makey Learn to use Makey Makey and Scratch while appreciating how technology helps in creating a caring and loving living environment.
Creating an Arduino Robot Want to learn and harness the power of Electronics and Microcontrollers to create your first robot? This is the right course for you as we explore the powers of microcontroller programming and shield add-ons to control motors and read sensor inputs.
Intro Crashcourse for Hobbyists Ever wanted to learn how to get started on building interesting Arduino projects? This workshop aims to introduce the key concepts of microcontroller programming and basic electronics. No prior knowledge is required.
Hope Technik workshop (Details coming soon)
HackAble by Engineering Good Engineering Good’s HackAble workshop aims to engage participants in a hands-on learning experience to build low-cost, DIY assistive devices for persons with disabilities, while raising awareness about disabilities and how technology can enable and empower those with disabilities. The workshop will respond to the needs of disability organisations, and products made through it will be given to these organisations after the event. At Maker Faire, participants will have an opportunity to make an adapted computer mouse that is suitable for people with disabilities.
Scratch and Tofu Piano In this short workshop, learn how to use capacitive sensing to turn regular blocks of tofu into “piano keys” that play sounds when touched.
