Fun Techtivities in January!
The year has just begun, and with the holidays still in swing, January in Singapore is buzzing with fresh experiences perfect for families, friends, and curious explorers alike! From immersive exhibitions that imagine the future of travel to VR journeys back in time and spectacular light art festivals under the night sky, there’s so much to see, do and discover together. Whether you’re out for inspiration or just a fun outing, this month’s lineup brings tech, art, and imagination to life in unforgettable ways.
But first, a quick #TechNews to kick things off! 🤖✨ AI is helping scientists decode plant “language” through tiny signals like electrical pulses and chemical changes.🌱🔊
By analyzing these patterns, researchers can detect when a plant is stressed, thirsty, or even “talking” to others. This could transform agriculture, climate science, and how we understand life on Earth. It’s green tech with real roots.

Now that we’re all set, keep scrolling on to discover techtivities that you and your family can indulge in this month! ✨

To wrap up our #TechtivitiesOfTheMonth, here is a fun #TechFact!
Did you know that every iPhone ad shows 9:41 AM? That is because that’s the exact time Steve Jobs revealed the first iPhone in 2007! (Source) Apple aligns all iPhone promo images to that moment. A subtle tribute to one of the biggest product launches in tech history.
