About 500 professionals will volunteer at this Festival. They will share how and guide residents to take advantage of technology to improve and enhance their lives. 6 Participants will experience an array of activities and learning pods and this will allow them to get close to various types of new technologies from mobile applications, virtual reality to robotics and flying drones. The Festival will enable participants to learn more about the technologies that can help them stay connected in this digital age. For example, IMDA Lab on Wheels will hold an introductory lesson in computer science for children between the ages of nine and 12 to allow them to create their own game using basic block code. Seniors will be given a crash course on the usage of mobile applications ranging from eGov apps to lifestyle and social apps such as OneService, MyTransport, Healthy Buddy, Burpple, Channel NewsAsia and Skype. 7 “As part of CDCs’ continual outreach to professional bodies, we look forward to building new partnership with SiTF. The Tech4Community Festival is a good start of our engagement which not only involves 3Ps partnership (Private, Public and People) in creating IT awareness amongst our residents but also in providing opportunities for them to understand how we could use technology to help in our daily work or lives. In today’s competitive environment, it offers an opportunity for our residents to enhance their capabilities and employment opportunities,” said Mr Teo Ser Luck, Chairman of Mayors’ Committee and Mayor of North East District. 8 Added Ho Seong Kim, Managing Director, Accenture, and Organising Co-Chairman for Tech4Community: “Technology should be embraced by all, not just government and businesses. Over the years, the internet, smart phones and broadband have provided the community with greater access and interconnectivity and enabled them to improve their lives significantly. Our efforts to make technology easier to learn and understand should be all-inclusive, and Tech4Community is a vital step in helping us move a step closer to our vision.” 9 Your reporter and cameramen are cordially invited to attend the first- ever Tech4Community, an Information, Communications and Media (ICM) Festival on 19 November 2016.

Why not get a younger Minister, instead? The reason is that the holding of the Games in Singapore is something that all of us whatever our age, can celebrate and be proud of. It will be an event that all Singaporeans, young and old, should enjoy. 2 That is why I am delighted to join you this evening to unveil the countdown clock and to mark the one year countdown to the inaugural Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games (YOG).

Embargoed till delivery. Raising Legal Awareness 3. Very often, law can be daunting for us, especially faced with legal jargon, long contractual agreements and fine print which are not easy to understand. Our legal community is making efforts to simplify legal writing. At the same time, it is important that the community do our part to continue to bring law closer to the ground, raise the understanding of legal issues, and simplify it for the man in the street. This year’s Law Awareness Week @CDC has two key objectives. 4. First, knowing our legal rights and responsibilities. Law Awareness is more than community education. It is about empowering residents to recognise that they have legal rights and responsibilities, and knowing how and where to find information on legal issues.
