INFANT SCHOOL STEM PROGRAMMES (K1 - G1)
NASA ROBOTICS - RESCUE ROVERS!
Information:
Launch young engineers on a space exploration adventure! In this fun introductory robotics programmes, kids will build, program and test progressively more challenging rover designs. Young engineers will discover how to use programming, motors, sensors and attachments to make their robots complete task-based challenges and missions. From collecting rock samples whilst evading sand traps and craters, to mapping out potential rocket landing sites and battling rogue alien rovers in the ring sumo-style, kids will have a blast discovering the scientific and engineering challenges of space exploration, coding and robotics!
In Rescue Rovers, engineers will be given a foundation in the basics of robotics and coding as they work through various challenges to rescue astronauts stranded on an alien planet. Students will be introduced to the concept of algorithms and machine learning, and will develop their logical and critical thinking skills, and learn about coding terminology and flow. They'll have a blast:
Learning about NASA's Mars Exploration Program
Discovering the fundamentals of block-based coding and basic programming logic, and how robot motion is realised
Exploring the working principles of commonly used sensors (motion, light, etc)
Honing their creativity and critical problem-solving skills as they learn to analyse construction challenges and break large problems down into smaller ones, and so much more!
Attire: Comfortable clothes
What to Bring: A full water bottle, snack, jacket/cardigan
WHIZZ, POP, BANG!
Information:
Embark on an exciting exploration of physics and chemistry with engaging hands-on experiments that promise ooey-gooey, fizzy fun! Young scientists will have a blast:
Discovering states of matter, phase changes & sublimation...with dry ice!
Experimenting with non-Newtonian fluids and polymers...with slime!
Engineering with circuits & electricity...with DIY flashlights, paper circuit cards and more!
Attire: Comfortable clothes
What to Bring: A full water bottle, snack, jacket/cardigan
JUNIOR SCHOOL STEM PROGRAMMES (G2 - G5)
COSMETIC CHEMISTRY
Information:
In this fun and engaging STEM program, aspiring chemists will discover the fascinating science behind the skincare and beauty industries and formulate their own personal care products! Students will have a blast:
Exploring the science of smell and formulating their own fragrances!
Learning about atomic structure and discovering the chemistry of bath bombs!
Experimenting with chemical balance, acids and bases, and analyzing the pH of shampoos and soaps
Investigating the effect of surfactants, emollients and other common ingredients and making DIY lip balms and more!
Attire: Comfortable clothes
What to Bring: A full water bottle, snack, jacket/cardigan, food containers
lego robotics - battlebots!
Information:
In this fun introduction to robotics, kids will learn to build and program progressively more challenging robots using LEGO SPIKE Prime robotics and a drag-and-drop Scratch-based programming software. Young engineers will discover how to use coding, sensors and attachments to make their robots perform specific tasks, even as they hone problem-solving, communication and collaboration skills. The camp will culminate in a final mini competition where kids will battle their wits and bots in the ring!
Attire: Comfortable clothes
What to Bring: A full water bottle, snack, jacket/cardigan, food containers
masterchef science
Information:
In this fun and engaging culinary science program, aspiring MasterChefs will explore the chemistry of cooking and baking! Students will learn about food molecules and how chemical reactions can affect food texture and flavour. They'll discover how proteins interact to create soft fluffy bread, and experiment with how sugar interacts with heat to make their own version of the viral Dalgona toffee! From whipping up meringue and popping bubble tea to crafting the perfect chocolate chip cookie, kids will enjoy edible science adventures that will leave them hungry for more!
Through exciting hands-on cooking and learning games, students will learn about:
Proteins (gluten, yeast, and bread-making)
Carbohydrates (sugars, caramelisation, and candy-making)
Fats (saturated and unsaturated fats, emulsion, and meringue-making)
Food macromolecule interactions in Baking (Maillard Reaction)
Eating nutritionally (reading nutritional and ingredient labels for smarter meal decisions)
Attire: Comfortable clothes, Apron
What to Bring: A full water bottle, snack, jacket/cardigan, food containers
pokemon academy
Information:
Do you have what it takes to be the very best? Come on down and enroll in Pokémon Academy! Learn about the different types of Pokémon and discover the science behind their powers for effective battling! Trainers will have a blast exploring chemistry and physics through exciting visual demonstrations, learning games, and hands-on experiments, all while learning about their favorite Pokémon!
Trainers will have a ton of fun exploring the science of luminescence with glow in the dark Ditto, harnessing the power of air pressure and aerodynamics with Lugia and Pidgeotto to make DIY vacuum cleaners, engineering with electricity with Pikachu to make their own glowing Pokeball, and more!
