MakerClub
Not student care. Not tuition. Not enrichment.
Students come to the lab to pursue self-directed projects, use professional equipment, and build the habits of a person who can figure things out — real coverage for the hours you need, on however many weekdays work for your family.
Two age groups. One lab. One schedule.
Builders and Innovators share the same 2:30pm–6:30pm window and the same pricing — what differs is the level of independence and the kind of coaching each group gets.
Builders arrive after school and go straight into the lab. Each student maintains an ongoing project — something they chose, designed, and are responsible for completing. Coaches are present but do not direct. They ask questions, unblock problems, and hold the standard. For students heading into DSA-Sec applications, this project record becomes part of their portfolio.
Innovators work at a higher level of independence.
Projects are more complex, timelines are self-managed, and the expectation is that students can articulate
what they are building and why. For students applying via the Polytechnic Early Admissions Exercise, portfolio development is supported for this pathway.
What every session includes
Your child decides what they are making. There is no fixed brief, no template, no worksheet. The project is theirs from first sketch to finished object.
3D printers, laser cutter, vinyl cutter, electronics bench, resin printer, digital art tools, and full craft supplies — the same equipment used in MakerClass, available every session.
Coaches do not run lessons. They ask questions, unblock problems, and hold students accountable to their own stated goals. The student leads. The coach follows.
Not tuition, and not a substitute for it — but when a student needs help getting through schoolwork before or after project time, a coach is there to guide them through it.
Every completed project becomes a portfolio entry — a photograph, a reflection, and a record of what was built and learned. For Builders, this portfolio is a direct input to DSA-Sec applications; for Innovators, it supports applications through the Polytechnic Early Admissions Exercise.
Photos and videos of what your child built are shared with you, and students build the habit of journaling their own maker journey — so you see progress, not just attendance.
Choose how many days a week
Pick 1 to 5 weekdays. The more days you commit to, the lower the cost per day — because a student already in the lab costs us less to add a day for than a new student costs to onboard.

How it compares
Private student care centres in Singapore typically cost $290–$800 a month for supervision and homework help. Single-subject tuition runs $300–$600 or more. Enrichment at one session a week is $180–$320.
MakerClub covers the same afterschool hours, with professional fabrication equipment, a coaching relationship, photo and video updates, and a growing portfolio your child owns — on however many days a week actually fit your family’s schedule.
