WHAT STUDENTS SAY
We have gone to the workshop on making an impact on society by solving real-world problems.
We enjoyed the workshop a lot, and met many people who are equally motivated to make a change in society.
Angelina
Nanyang Girls High
The workshop taught us to start a project from scratch, from brainstorming ways
to improve the societal issue to narrowing down to potential ideas, and lastly developing these ideas.
We were also encouraged to question our assumptions, look at things more critically, expose ourselves to people from very different backgrounds, and proactively
solve issues we face. Throughout the process it ignited a greater passion for serving the less privileged communities
in Singapore and has allowed us to better challenge societal problems from
different perspectives.
Nanyang Girls High
Through Louis' thorough guidance, we were able to experience what it is like to find, brainstorm and work on projects to make a positive change.
Louis gave much more guidance at the early stages of our project, but allowed us to take charge and manage the project after he ensured that we were on track.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY
"Working with Crater to plan and run Project IMPACT has definitely been a highlight for my 2021. I was continuously impressed by what students are capable of when given the space not just to dig deeper into challenges they wanted to solve, but also to come up with unexpectedly delightful and effective solutions in a short span of a week.I am truly excited to see what more students will come up with from Project IMPACT, and how the programme will strengthen the foundation of our youth driving social and environmental impact."
