Unity Scientific Innovation Challenge with SP and ERI@N (USPE)
Unity Scientific Innovation Challenge with SP and ERI@N (USPE)
Unity Scientific Innovation Challenge with SP & ERI@N (USPE) is a national science competition which focuses on participants’ intellectual curiosity and creativity in applying scientific principles to develop innovative solutions for various challenges.
The key objectives of this competition are to:
provide various platforms that develops and strengthen students’ interest in science
promote scientific innovation through the application of design strategies
encourage the use of creativity and innovative methods in problem solving
Signup for USPE 2024 will commence in March 2023. The competition is open to students who are in Secondary 2 in 2023.
Teachers-in-charge: Mr Tay Han Tseng Clement, Mr Ng Sin Wee Benny, Ms Koh Rui Ling

USPE 2023
The theme for 2023’s challenge is ‘Developing SMART solutions to achieve key target(s) of The Singapore Green Plan 2030’
To promote Scientific Innovation and Enterprise, students will need to propose solutions to futuristic problems using STEM to tackle climate change and build a sustainable future.
Teams are only allowed to develop innovative SMART solution(s) towards achieving any of the two key targets outlined within The Singapore Green Plan 2030, Energy Reset and Resilient Future.
Our school sent 2 teams, which were both shortlisted as finalists. They will compete in the finals on 3 March 2023.

The dependence on maritime transport on a globalized world is ever increasing. Global supply chains, logistical movement, travels for work and play are all in increasing demand as major economies in the world experience heightened growth and greater affluence. The combustion of carbon-containing fuels, a finite resource, to power this industry thus results in an appreciable emission level of greenhouse gases (GHG). We believe in the evolving capabilities to adopt more sustainable approaches to powering the maritime transport industry.
We aim to propose a solution that:
adopts renewable energy such as solar power
reduces GHG emission with clean fuel
explores efficient fuel storage solutions
Smart Urban Farming

Urban farming is widely adopted for the cultivation of vegetables where quantities of consumption are considerably high. The growth of herbal plants via urban farming is however less explored. Buying and consumption of herbs from stores often result in significant food wastage due to packaging practices where large quantities of herbs are sold together without a corresponding need for the same quantity in household consumption. A vertical farm incorporated with technologies in the Internet-of-Things allows for fuss-free management in the urban farming of herbal plants. Extraction for consumption can then be on a needs-basis, reducing food wastage and raising energy efficiency in farming practices. Our idea also brings about corresponding social impacts in improving community togetherness through shared community gardening experiences.
We aim to play a part in solving Singapore´s food security problems by conceptualising an urban vertical herb farm using technologies in the Internet-of-Things for the community that every neighbourhood would have ready access to.
We are motivated to explore ideas that leverage on technology to:
reduce food waste
improve energy efficiency in urban farming practices
bring about positive social change through shared experiences
