Good activities stay inside one centre.
One shared, reviewed library across centres, showing where each resource came from and who made it.
Smart Teaching Resource Hub · ECDA × NTUC First Campus challenge
NFC Crayon Lab
Where educators find, adapt and share great teaching resources across every centre.
Crayon Lab is a shared lab for early childhood educators. A good activity made in one centre becomes a reviewed resource that every centre can use. AI helps you find it and adapt it for your class; you keep every decision, and every contributor keeps the credit.
- 🛡 No child data needed
- ✨ AI drafts, you decide
- ✓ Reviewed before sharing
Why Crayon Lab?
Three things educators told us make reuse hard, and what the lab does about each.
Every resource needs adjusting before reuse.
AI adapts it to your class, change by change, explaining each one. You accept, edit or reject.
Sharing feels like extra work.
Snap a photo or upload the file you already have. AI fills in the details; you just confirm.

Step 1 of 4
Describe what you need
Type or say it the way you would tell a colleague. No forms, and no child names.
- Plain words or voice
- Age, goal, materials and time understood for you
Everything the challenge asks for, working today
A live prototype covering all three use cases in the brief, from search to review, with fictional data.
Search in plain words
“Nature language activity, K1, paper and leaves, 30 minutes.” AI turns it into filters you can edit and finds reviewed activities from other centres, explaining why each fits.
Adapt for your class
Suggested changes for your children, each with its reason and the exact step it changes. Accept, edit or reject every one; a safety check runs before export.
Share from your phone
Upload a file or photograph a lesson sheet. The hub reads it, fills in the labels and flags anything to check: no retyping, no long forms.
Review before sharing
Reviewers see automated checks for labels, safety rules, duplicates and personal data, with a before/after view, and approve in minutes.
Keep resources current
Update, replace or withdraw with history kept. Official curriculum is locked, and withdrawn items never appear in search.
Take-home sheets
Turn a reviewed activity into a one-page family sheet with household materials, simple steps and talking points. You confirm every line.
Bring existing materials
Import what centres already hold from a shared-drive list. Files stay where they are; missing details and duplicates are flagged for review.
Evidence, not logins
A dashboard on reuse across centres, effort saved against a baseline, AI suggestions accepted or rejected, and review turnaround.
How it works
- DescribeTell the lab what you need, the way you would tell a colleague. No forms, no child names.
- Adapt and decideAI suggests; you accept, edit or reject each change. Nothing is final until you say so.
- Share and reviewUseful adaptations go to a reviewer, then to every centre, with credit to everyone who contributed.
Built for everyone who keeps resources good
- EducatorsFind, adapt and share activities, and keep credit for their work.
- Curriculum reviewersApprove what is shared across centres, with checks done for them.
- Curriculum adminsOwn the official materials; only they can change or withdraw them.
- Centre leaders and HQSee what is used, where effort is saved, and where content is missing.
Safe by design
- No child profiles or identifiable child information needed.
- Names are replaced with tokens before every AI call; photos are checked for faces and name tags.
- AI output is always a draft; people approve before anything is shared.
- Pilot runs in Singapore on AWS, with Claude on Amazon Bedrock.
