Brainy Arkies debuted at Happy Sparks, which was held from 10 to 13 November at Expo Hall 4. The education fair showcased the extent to which technology is essential to education these days, with an EduTech Zone and various programming classes available.
“Happy Sparks was started to create out-of-classroom and cutting-edge experiential learning experiences said Times Publishing Group CEO, Siew Peng Yim.
