Singapore Management University (SMU) and Babes Pregnancy Crisis Support Ltd have announced a collaboration to develop Level Up: #Adulting, Singapore’s first gamified wellness platform for youth. This innovative platform, built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, is designed to engage young people through interactive experiences, focusing on mental wellness, family planning, and self-care.
The platform will be co-created through SMU’s ‘Transformative Leadership’ course, starting January 2026. This course, part of SMU’s experiential learning initiative, allows students to tackle real-world challenges under the guidance of faculty and industry experts. SMU students will handle the platform’s content and technical development, whilst Babes will provide insights to ensure the content is relevant and authentic. AWS will offer cloud infrastructure and technical expertise to ensure the platform is scalable and secure.
Set to launch in early 2026, Level Up: #Adulting aims to help youths make informed choices and build resilience. The initiative seeks to expand its impact through partnerships with community organisations and corporate sponsors.
SMU Provost Alan Chan emphasised the importance of bridging education with social innovation, whilst Babes’ Executive Director Melisa Wong highlighted the collaboration’s goal of creating a supportive space for youth. The platform represents a significant step in empowering young people to navigate adulthood effectively.
