The STEP programme is designed as a three-tiered programme, with the aim to stretch students to explore beyond what they learn in the textbook.
The programme aims to achieve this through:
The programme aims to achieve this through:
providing students who have a strong passion for Science with an intellectually-stimulating environment to explore their passion in Science;
preparing Science students for avenues to showcase their Science talents and developing their presentation skills to articulate scientific concepts & reasoning;
exposing students to experiences beyond textbook through extended hands-on engagement;
cultivating a mindset of excellence & inquisitiveness in our Science students and nurturing them into scholars of Science.

Secondary 2 students in the STEP were involved in two major projects:
Scientists-in-School
Ngee Ann Polytechnic Aerochallenge Competition
The MOE-A*STAR Scientists-in-School Programme
The MOE-A*STAR Scientists-in-School Programme
A* STAR researcher Dr Wan mentored and worked together with students in his field of research, which is data analytic and artificial intelligence. It allows students to see through the lens of an accomplished scientist his working ethics and thinking process. He has definitely sparked the interests of the STEP students in Science as a profession.
Ngee Ann Polytechnic Aerochallenge Competition
Ngee Ann Polytechnic Aerochallenge Competition
The competition is held yearly with the following objectives:
To expose students to technologies in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) sectors
Allow students to apply their problem-solving skills to programme a drone to fly around an obstacle course

Sec 3 STEP
Secondary 3 students in the STEP were involved in a major project:
Microbits
Students have the opportunities to learn basic programming using Microsoft Makecode editor. It allows students to be innovative and apply problem-solving skills. Students created images, step trackers, and counters, etc.
One of the programs written for step trackers using Microsoft Makecode editor during Microbits session.
