A total of five student teams across the three cohorts in Temasek Polytechnic Hospitality and Tourism Management participated in the project “Rainmaker Ideathon”, a competition in collaboration with M Hotel Singapore, create ways to market M Hotel’s new Afternoon High Tea set, which showcased local offerings.

Out of the 5 teams, 3 teams were awarded the top 3 prizes, which included a 2D1N stay at M Social, a Dinner buffet, and a Lunch buffet at M Hotel’s Café 2000.

After the Rainmaker Ideathon, M Hotel's hosted a post-rainmaker contest with TP students on the first week of Oct, where they were invited to unleash their creativity and put their social skill to use and create content on the afternoon tea for Tik Tok and other popular social channels.

Through this meaningful initiative with young Temasek Polytechnic students who have grown up with technology, M Hotel Singapore is inspired with the fresh ideas that millennials have and their ability to think outside the box to approach opportunities.  It is important for the hotel to approach learning with an open mind, even from the younger generation who have so much to offer.
