Equator College recently hit the road to visit SMK Valdor, hosting an immersive "World of 3D Animation" workshop right on their school grounds. Designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of 3D modeling and animation pipelines, the workshop gave participants a taste of what it takes to build a career in the creative industry.

Equator College Interior Design and Architectural Technology students recently participated in an educational visit to the Penang Night Shelter to explore how sustainable, socially responsible design supports vulnerable communities. Guided by the facility operator and project architect, students learned about the shelter’s history and operations, along with the practical challenges of adaptive reuse, spatial planning, and fire safety upgrades. The visit highlighted the vital connection between empathy, social responsibility, and the built environment.

The interactive session introduced students to the core fundamentals of architectural design, spatial planning, and structural thinking. Instead of just learning theory, the students took on the role of designers, participating in practical exercises that challenged them to think critically about form, function, and space. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to see how ideas on paper transform into the built environment around us.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Alex, Mr. Miao Sheng, and our proud Equator College alumna, Ms. Sheue Ying—who is currently thriving as part of the AE Creativ team, for generously sharing their knowledge, experiences, and creative journeys.
