A series of interactive circuits that highlights the emotional schema around the absurdity of fear between designers and computation in the design education of higher learning within Singapore. Understanding computation is easier than it seems once the logic is understood.

These circuits were with and programmed with simple lines of code. This aims to motivate design students to take courage when tackling complex issues in small steps.

Research
Findings are based on primary research from students LASALLE’s BA(Hons) in Design Communication in 2021 across all three levels.

Focus groups were conducted with a total of 22 participants to find out: academic background, comprehension on computational thinking, methods of learning, learning concerns and environment of learning.

A one-liner personal statment were selected from six students describing their feelings towards computation. Each statement is translated into each circuit citizens' interactive behaviour.

Students responds towards computation:

︎ 73% are disinterested or have other priorities

︎ 27% are open to learn and explore
