I am Teo Jia Jie Delcan, a second-year student at Temasek Polytechnic (TP), currently pursuing a diploma in Business Process and Systems Engineering.
I am an engineer at heart.
I love building things from scratch and understanding how things work the way they do. Seeing my creations come to life is extremely gratifying for me. In the future, I aspire to be an entrepreneur building my very own technology to change the world for the better.
In my free time, I also love to explore and learn new things. From coding to machinery, everything piques my interest. Getting the "Eureka" moment when I finally understand something is the best thing that can happen to me every day.
Therefore, I hope to inspire others to help them understand the beauty behind learning by sharing my knowledge and creations with them.
Guided Learning is a TP optional Fundamental subject students can choose to pick up. It is a free-rein subject that allows us to learn any chosen topic of interest we want using the process of self-directed learning.
Through self-directed learning, students get to learn how the four stages of self-directed learning: Plan, Perform, Monitor and Reflect, are used to navigate through our learning. This module helps us to nurture a love for learning and equips us with the skills for self-directed learning.
Before I picked up Guided Learning, I always wanted to start my very own engineering project to learn and build something to get more exposure in Engineering.
Being a person who loves challenges, I decided that Guided Learning will fill my deep desire for learning and push me beyond my comfort zone to do something I would not have the time to do otherwise if it was not for Guided Learning.
When I made the decision, I also wanted to build something that will help my parents' Food and Beverage (F&B) business because they were struggling with the overwhelming workload.
And I thought, what better way to utilize this opportunity to learn something new and help my parents in the process with my work. Hence, I made the decision to do Guided Learning.
