Future Makers

SCIENCE CENTER SINGAPORE

Singapore, June 2019 - 710sqm

The Project | Future Makers is an immersive exhibition celebrating engineering as a creative and impactful career pathway. Created by Studio Cassells and Story Inc, the experience combines robotics, interactive challenges and narrative gameplay, launching with a robot theatre and culminating in a collaborative escape room that tests real-world engineering thinking.

Our Role | Studio Cassells and Story Inc carried out Masterplanning, Concept and Development (Environment, exhibit, graphics and multimedia), Detailed Design and Design input throughout fabrication, multimedia production and build.

Robot Object Theatre

The experience begins with a choreographed Robot Object Theatre, where four animated robotic screens combine video, movement and sound to introduce the history, diversity and impact of engineering disciplines.

Narrative-driven escape room

The exhibition culminates in an alien-themed escape room, where teams apply engineering thinking under time pressure to repair a crashed spacecraft—testing problem-solving, teamwork and creative reasoning.

Inspiring future pathways

Designed for young audiences, Future Makers celebrates engineers as creative thinkers and innovators, inspiring curiosity and positioning engineering as an exciting, meaningful career pathway for the next generation.

Engineering as a mission

Future Makers reframes engineering as an active, problem-solving pursuit. Visitors are recruited into a global mission, positioning engineering as a vital tool for shaping the future and solving real-world challenges.

Learning through challenge

Throughout the gallery, visitors tackle hands-on engineering challenges linked to mega-structures, space travel, medicine, food systems and fashion—transforming abstract concepts into engaging, achievable tasks.
