WELLBEING. Nature hibernates. It's perfectly fine to have nothing to say or show. Embrace the snow ⚪ Pause, as spring grows with its gentle glow 🌸

Indeed, one of the '5 Five Ways to Wellbeing' by the New Economics Foundation's Foresight Project on Mental Capital is simply to 'Take Notice'. That's it!

🧧 新年快樂！恭喜發財！

香港Techathon+結束後，我們的創辦人Ibnur有難得的機會與他的前大學講師Albert Teo教授共進「團圓飯」❤️

如果你想知道伊布努爾寫書法的照片是否是由人工智慧產生的，那它不是假的。他曾在高中時參加中國書法班。而我們團隊成員舉起的所有書法作品都是伊布努爾寫的👌

新的一年，我們尋求更深入地探討文化和傳統藝術在將創新帶入新視野方面的作用，並像蛇一樣探索新領域🐍

祝福你們，我們的教育工作者、發明家和客戶，像蛇蛻皮一樣迎來轉型和變革的美好一年。 蟬蛻蛇解！

國際清潔能源日快樂 ⚡

如果您熱衷於將這個獨特的實踐模組納入您的永續發展課程，我們很樂意為您提供協助。

請透過私訊或 [email protected] 與我們聯繫

It's International Day of Clean Energy! We have launched our 'Clean Energy' Maker Immersive Experience (MIX) in 2 schools, and we would like you to join us in growing this sustainability movement across Asia. We are heartened the feedback and learnings from both teachers and students have been great ❤️ If you're keen to bring this unique hands-on real-world module into your sustainability curriculum, we are happy to help you. Simply connect with us via DM or [email protected] #SDG7 #cleanenergy #UN #SDGs #unitednations #cleanenergyday #sustainability #InventForImpact

國際教育日快樂🌱

今年，我們希望闡明人工智慧，它是一個可以改變我們教學和學習方式的主要驅動力。我們教授人工智慧並實踐人工智慧。透過人工智慧，我們現在可以延續已故導師 Tay Lai Hock 的使命，並紀念他的遺產🌻

我們也要感謝自 GUILD 成立以來一直與我們一起工作的老師、教育工作者和培訓師🙏

Happy International Day of Education 🌱

This year, we would like to shed light on AI, a major driver that could change the way we teach and the way we learn. We teach AI and we practise AI. With AI, we can now keep alive the mission of our late mentor, Tay Lai Hock, and honour his legacy 🌻

We also would like to thank you, our teachers, educators and trainers, who have worked alongside us since the beginning of GUILD 🙏

Education isn’t just about textbooks and classrooms; it’s about community and connection. This International Day of Education, we’re exploring how AI can enhance, not replace, these vital human elements. As we move forward, we need a 21st-century kampung culture where people have an open heart and are open to constant unlearning and relearning. This video is made entirely by A.I, and we would like to use this opportunity to honour one of our late mentors, Tay Lai Hock. #genai #guildasia #storytelling #giveandbuild #generativeai #ai

Happy 2025 🎉 After 8 years of highs and lows, which is still less than half of our 'First 23-Year Vision' (if we ever make it that far.. haha), we have achieved much, yet we have so much more to do.

With only 17% of SDG targets on track and 17% getting worse with less than 5 years left to the 2030 deadline, as a civilization, we now have an 'F' grade.

Failure to double on our Mission in 'Growing Grounded Innovators through Nature, Tech and Community' as a larger ecosystem across humanity could mean that our wicked problems remain unresolved and our best talents unmotivated to solve them preferring to pursue pure profits for only shareholders, instead of community stakeholders. Ironically, we would fail our children and our grandchildren, while we insist they score A+ in their exams. How we perform on Earth is the real exam.

𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍
What did Singapore achieve by its 23rd year of independence in 1988? Significantly much. Could GUILD last long enough to achieve our 'First 23-Year Vision' given that 90% of startups fail? We don't know as there are 'black swans' like COVID-19 on the horizon among many other reasons that could make us fail including ourselves. Having said that, our sincere hope is to see more CHI: Communities at the Heart of Innovation. If it comes with a SOUL like a Sustainable Open University of Life, why not.. it would be a cool bonus! Living in a world where citizens like you and I can GIVE and BUILD freely would be awesome too!

𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐒
Whether we achieve our 'First 23-Year Vision' or not is secondary. Our late mentor Lai Hock reminded us that it is more key to be Grounded in our everyday lives like a Thinker, a Warrior and a Farmer. Having walked this Path, it is not easy as we struggle with our imperfections, but we persevere because such a vision demands the best of us.

Will we fail? Of course, we will. Almost all important experiments experience failure when breaking new grounds. We'll learn and continue to iterate again like a Groundbreaker would because we can. To more failures and successes in our remaining 15 years to our 'First 23-Year Vision' deadline!

But first, let's all work hard for the next 5 years to at least score a 'B+' for our 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) so that we don't literally burn, drown or starve ourselves on Earth.
Gotta get back to work, y'all! Wishing you a fruitful and purposeful year ahead 🌳 Jiayou 💪

感激。經過多年的實驗和迭代我們的 Floating Chinampa 發明，我們很驚訝地獲得了國際金獎。對於一直與我們合作的志工、工程師和科學家來說，這是不可能的。 謝謝🙏

GRATITUDE. After many years of experimenting and iterating our Floating Chinampa invention, we were surprised to be conferred the International Gold award. This would not have been possible to our volunteers, engineers and scientists who have been collaborating with us on this. 谢谢 🙏

世界地球日快樂，生日快樂，GUI 🌻 請捐贈給 GUI 🫶 https://rayofhope.sg/campaign/gui

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐁-𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐲, 𝐆𝐔𝐈 🌻

As we celebrate Earth Day, it’s a special moment for Ground-Up Initiative (GUI) too, marking the day this incredible non-profit first sprouted. Many of our teammates began as volunteers at GUI, growing alongside it like saplings into strong trees.

In the spirit of Earth Day and honoring the roots from where we've branched out, let’s continue to sow seeds of change.

A beautiful way to do this is by supporting GUI's growth. As we build our new campus, every donation is like fertile soil helping to nurture this space where our community and sustainability can flourish. You can make a difference here by donating to GUI: https://rayofhope.sg/campaign/gui/

But that's not all. We take our Earth Day commitment further by rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty—literally. We’ve turned innovative thinking into impactful doing with our Floating Gardens Initiative.

This award-winning project is not just talk. It’s a sustainable, floating garden that tackles plastic waste in a practical way. See our invention in action here in this BBC feature on our Floating Chinampas: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-62545578)

So this Earth Day, let’s give back to our planet and to Kampung Kampus (KK), the birthplace of our eco-journey. Happy B-Earth Day, GUI! Let's keep nurturing our world together. 🌱🌍




🌊 Celebrating the fearless spirit of seafarers and explorers alike, making journeys unimaginable to Man! On 25 June, we celebrate Day of the Seafarer and every day, we honor those who navigate the world's oceans and conquer its most challenging frontiers. Seafarers brave the unpredictable seas with skill and courage, much like explorers who conquer the world's highest peaks or traverse uncharted territories.

Lonnie Dupre, renowned for his Arctic expeditions and his pioneering achievements in extreme mountaineering, mirrors these qualities in his determination to explore and understand Earth's most remote and hostile environments.

Lonnie Dupre is celebrated for being the first person to solo climb Denali in January, braving temperatures that plummeted to minus 75 degrees Fahrenheit (-59°C). His Arctic expeditions include solo summits of Mount McKinley (Denali) and expeditions to both the North and South Poles. His accomplishments not only demonstrate extraordinary physical and mental endurance but also highlight his deep commitment to environmental stewardship and raising awareness about climate change's impact on our planet's most fragile ecosystems.

At GUILD, these parallels inspire our commitment to promoting innovation, exploration, and sustainability. We foster projects that advance technology, enhance environmental stewardship, and support the adventurous spirit that defines both groups.

Stay tuned every Monday to meet more amazing creators! Let’s celebrate these Groundbreakers together! To foster innovation and inclusion, get connected with us at [email protected] or join us in our Telegram: t.me/groundupinnovation
