E2K Math Programme

Through engaging activities, students will strengthen their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, tackling real-world challenges with an innovative mindset.

Two classroom scenes show teachers instructing young students seated at desks, with projected screens at the front.

Capstone Project using Design Thinking

Capstone Project will allow students to apply design thinking as they create and present meaningful projects. This experience will integrate the skills learned throughout the DA VINCI Programme and provide them with an opportunity to showcase their growth.

Students in light blue uniforms work on laptops and hands-on projects, then present their work at display boards.
