Waste Craft Mini Workshop Fosters Creativity and Critical Thinking among Young Innovators

An engaging and hands-on event, the “Waste Craft” Mini Workshop was successfully conducted on 6 February 2025 at the Melaka campus. Led by Mr. Vincent Chan from the Faculty of Business (FOB), the workshop was supported by a dedicated team comprising Ms. Ikha Fadzila Binti Md Idris, Ms. Cheryl Chan, Ms. Nurainiah Binti Abu Hassan, Ms. Nadhrah Binti Abu Hassan, Ms. Vinothini a/p Apoo, and Mr. Hasfaizal Bin Hasan. A total of 94 students participated in this engaging session, gaining valuable exposure to creative problem-solving and hands-on innovation.

Jointly organised by the Student Recruitment Office (SRO) and Brilliant Counseling & Solutions Sdn. Bhd. and supported by FOB, the workshop provided an opportunity for students to work with recycled materials and develop prototypes based on a given problem statement. Within a span of just 45 minutes, participants not only constructed impressive models but also delivered compelling one-minute pitches to present their solutions.

By integrating sustainability with innovation, the Waste Craft workshop encouraged students to think critically, work collaboratively, and explore resourceful ways to address challenges. Beyond enhancing their creativity and analytical skills, the event served as an avenue to inspire young minds to develop impactful, real-world solutions.
