In June 2025, you read how Hyundai Motor Group added a hands-on program to its Discovery Tour that aimed to reconnect families with where meals began.

You attended weekend sessions that ran an hour and targeted children ages 3–6 with their caregivers. The guided experience mixed sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste so your child could link produce to nature and the environment.

The program let you and your kids harvest from a Smart Farm, try a Ssam wrap made from that produce, and learn how technology supported growing and tasting without losing cultural roots.

You noticed the $15 fee per child was donated to the President’s Challenge, and that the activities aimed to make curiosity turn into everyday awareness at home.

By the end, you could see why a smart food lab was framed as a practical family activity led by a trusted name in group innovation.

Inside the rise of smart food labs: how you’re seeing food, tech, and culture converge

You spent an hour with your child exploring how sensor-driven beds produced herbs that smelled like home and tasted new.

The Smart Farm at HMGICS set the stage, letting your family trace produce from a controlled environment to a tasting table.

You compared traditional market greens with crops grown under precise controls and noticed how that hands-on experience linked day-to-day meals with scientific development.

Guides led short sensory prompts: listening for a crunch, sniffing for familiar scents, and feeling textures before a Ssam wrap finale.

That june 2025 launch made the idea of a food lab feel practical for children and caregivers. It showed how motor group innovation can appear in a family weekend.

• The group innovation center in innovation center singapore turned local sessions into a repeatable model.
• Families left with simple, sustainable practices to try at home and greater environmental awareness.
• You noticed development goals—curiosity, cooperation, reduced waste—play out in real time.

Food and technology: how innovations are changing the way we

smart food labs innovation at HMGICS: the facts, features, and experience

Families found a short, playful session that turned a weekend visit into a clear, hands-on lesson.

Who it’s for

This sensory workshop welcomed children aged 3-6 and their caregivers. You and a parent joined small groups so your child could explore at their pace.

When and where

Sessions ran Saturdays and Sundays at 10:00–11:00 a.m. and 4:00–5:00 p.m., starting June 21, 2025, at Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore, 2 Bulim Avenue.

What you’ll do

In each 60-minute workshop you compared traditional production to a smart farm, listened for sounds, sniffed scents, felt textures, and harvested produce.

The hour ended with an interactive Ssam-making finale that put learning into practice.

Capacity, fees, and impact

Groups admitted up to eight children per session. The fee was $15 per child and was donated to the President’s Challenge.

Why it matters

• Curiosity and development: Activities built early science interest through sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste.
• Practical practices: You left with simple habits to try at home that link nature with modern production ideas.
• Easy access: The program ran through September 28 with limited slots bookable via hyundai.com/sg.

Beyond the lab: how Hyundai Motor Group’s innovation center shapes smart food, smart farms, and learning

At HMGICS you could see advanced manufacturing and controlled agriculture sit side by side, inviting families to explore both in one visit. The center singapore at 2 Bulim Avenue acted as a clear hub where robotics, sensors, and plant beds worked together.

Group innovation in Singapore: the group innovation center linked motor group innovation with hands-on production lessons. You noticed how hyundai motor group tools used for assembly also helped explain environment controls in a smart farm.

What’s next: kids’ coding and practical science

You heard about a kids’ coding session that uses a miniature SPOT robot. HMGICS already uses SPOT to inspect assembly quality, so the workshop will turn real-world robotics into playful lessons.

• Cross‑discipline learning: robotics and agriculture under one roof makes science concrete for kids.
• Production meets environment: the center singapore shows how design choices shape energy, water, and waste.
• From visit to practice: you left with ideas that make experimentation at home feel doable and safe.

Conclusion

By the last Ssam wrap, you saw how short workshops turn curiosity into real-world questions at the dinner table.

The smart food lab at HMGICS ran weekends from June 21 to September 28, 2025, and offered 60-minute sessions for up to eight children. Each session cost $15 per child, with proceeds to the President’s Challenge.

You left with practical next steps: book a weekend slot via hyundai.com/sg, plan to stay hands-on with your child, and watch for a kids’ coding workshop featuring a miniature SPOT robot. If you want deeper context on R&D and technology in food, see this piece on food R&D strategies.
