About DFC Challenge 2024

In 2024, the Design for Change Challenge transforms into an interactive journey for students. Beyond a competition, it’s a dynamic experience where they engage with Design for Change Global network + industries and community partners to solve real-world problems with their impactful solutions.  Join us at Singapore’s longest-running innovation challenge for young superheroes, inspiring and recognising them for shaping a desirable and sustainable world.

The Annual ‘Be the Change’ Celebration  is a culminating event of the Design for Change Singapore Challenge to celebrate and share the inspiring work of our young change makers.  The event is an opportunity for young people, teachers, social sector organisations, parents and media to connect and get inspired.
