Become an environmentally conscious inventor and build sea vessels of the future in our very own “fabrication lab” this school holiday!
Join ArtScientist-In-Residence Cesar Jung-Harada and be part of a growing community of art and science inventor-entrepreneurs as you uncover the power of your creativity to design vehicles and machines aimed at solving our climate crisis. From conceptualisation to fabrication, learn the process and hands-on skills to bring your imagination from mind to paper to working model. Participants will “graduate” having had the chance to transform everyday materials–with the addition of modular technology–into their very own versions of Cesar’s pioneering inventions.
Each 3-day hackathon holiday camp will draw from one of Cesar’s ongoing projects.
27 – 29 May 2023 | Indigenous Future Outrigger
Learn about state-of-the-art sailing technology! The Indigenous Future Outrigger project reimagines our relationship and cultural connections to the waters around us by integrating local ship-building customs with high-tech environmentally sustainable sailing technology.
2 – 4 Jun 2023 | Ocean Solar Hydrogen
Discover how hydrogen could be the fuel of the future in coastal cities like Singapore! The Ocean Solar Hydrogen project looks at our oceans as untapped sources of sustainable energy by using solar power to electrolyze hydrogen gas from seawater.
16 – 18 Jun 2023 | Shape Shifting Sailing
Design your own shape-shifting boat inspired by evolution millions of years in the making–swimming fish! Find out first-hand how biomimetic technology, inspired by the natural world, can be used to make seafaring safer and more energy efficient.
23 – 25 Jun 2023 | Ocean Train
Drawing inspiration from freight trains, learn how robotics, team coordination, and a little bit of creative thinking can revolutionise the maritime shipping industry.
About Cesar Jung-Harada
Cesar Jung-Harada is a Singapore-based French-Japanese designer, environmentalist, educator and entrepreneur. With ongoing research and development into renewable energy sources and environmentally sustainable sea transport, he regularly delivers workshops for organisations such as the World Wildlife Fund and National Geographic and has delivered keynotes at international conferences by the United Nations, Harvard University, and TED.
Participants may come into contact with collected rainwater when sailing prototype ships.
In the event of light rain, ponchos will be provided to participants.
Please kindly inform the facilitators if you would prefer to opt out of any of these activities. In the event of heavy thunderstorms, outdoor activities will be postponed or cancelled.
ArtScientist-In-Residence Cesar Jung-Harada’s passion for ocean technology and impact innovation finds a home for education and experimentation at ArtScience Museum.
Indigenous Future Outrigger aims to pioneer innovative and experimental ways of ship-building which run on sustainable or alternative energy sources, while taking design inspiration from local coastal communities.
Ocean Solar Hydrogen aims to provide clean energy to coastal communities by utilising solar power to produce hydrogen gas – an alternative sustainable energy source – from seawater.
Shape Shifting Sailing redesigns the hull of ships to move alike sea creatures. These experimental ships aim to achieve greater energy efficiency and safety, as opposed to traditional ship-building design.
Ocean Train aims to scale global shipping while staying energy efficient and environmentally responsible by incorporating the physics and modular system of freight trains at sea.

From boats that move like fish to floating machines that turn seawater into fuel, discover Cesar Jung-Harada’s passion and practice in this introductory video.
Make the most out of your visit and immerse yourself in our range of on-site guided tours that take you on a fascinating exploration of the Museum’s exhibitions. Same-day exhibition tickets will be required for all exhibition tours.
Virtual tours for selected exhibitions are also available for viewing from the comfort of your home.
