Ever walked through a quiet park only to realise you’re standing above a buried British fort—one that’s currently undergoing upgrading and quietly hidden from view? Or passed by a historic bungalow that commemorates Albert Einstein’s visit to Singapore, marking his meeting with a Jewish philanthropist that helped shape the future of higher education? This evening journey begins in a tranquil seaside park where history lies just beneath our feet—though parts of the original fort site are currently closed for enhancement works, we’ll still pass through the area via open paths. From there, we ease into a breezy coastal stretch framed by open skies. As the sun dips, we follow the waterfront along a peaceful bay—often alive with kayaks, dragon boats, and the rhythmic splash of paddles from a nearby water sporting arena. This is a free community walk, led by volunteers who enjoy the Great Outdoors (GO) and would like to share them with u too! 🤎✌️😃 The route is about 6-8km. Kindly RSVP responsibly to give others a chance to join. The 'going' list may not necessarily follow a strict sequence. 🔄 To protect your privacy, we do not collect telephone numbers 📵. Communication will be through the Event Chat. Kindly check for any updates, especially on the day of the event.

From Fort to Faith\*\*: A journey through Singapore’s church history and living witness. This walk begins at \*\* Fort Canning\*\*, where colonial power once sat at the center of early Singapore, and follows a path through some of the city’s historic churches before ending at a welcoming community space for shared reflection. From Fort Canning, the route moves to the \*\*Armenian Apostolic Church\*\*, a reminder of the small but influential migrant communities that helped shape colonial Singapore. It then continues to the \*\*Cathedral of the Good Shepherd\*\*, one of the oldest Catholic churches in the country, before heading to the \*\*Church of Saints Peter and Paul at Queen Street\*\*, which reflects the growth of diverse Catholic communities in the city. The walk concludes at *Crossing Café* at the \*\*Catholic Centre, Waterloo Street\*\*, as a final stop to support special need cafe, participants can also sit down over a meal and reflect together on the journey—from colonial power and early church foundations to the continuing work of community, inclusion, and care in Singapore today. We are also privileged to be guided by docent Jeremy Gwee with a passionate interest for interpreting places, people, and faith in meaningful ways, from whom we have already enjoyed and learned much during his last guided tour of St Andrew’s Cathedral. **Please read this:** #1 – Attendance.

A session on using Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding agent, in real Unity development. We'll cover what coding agents are, where Claude Code fits, and how to apply it to an actual game project.
