A six-day summit packed with talks, tours, activities and workshops!

WELCOME TO SISTEMIC 2023!

When young minds come together to address the complex problems that best our world, that’s when creative sparks fly!

Since 2007, National Junior College has been proud to make possible just such an opportunity for students from around Singapore and around the world. What began as the biennial Singapore International Science Challenge (SISC), this year, will broaden out into an inter-disciplinary innovation festival – the Singapore International STEM Innovation Challenge or SISTEMIC for short.

This year’s theme is Designing a Sustainable Tomorrow. Using design thinking, students will innovate sustainable solutions for current and future challenges while deepening their interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and raising their awareness of sustainability issues.

SISTEMIC offers a host of student and educator programmes which will give participants the chance to engage together on ways to improve the planet’s quality of life today and tomorrow through STEM, Innovation and Enterprise.

Through learning journeys, masterclasses, challenges and meaningful conversations, students and educators can build new networks, co-construct new knowledge and models, and establish partnerships towards our common future.

Come be a part of SISTEMIC and have the time of your life!

Principal

OUR COLLEGE

NJC is Singapore’s first Junior College, founded in 1969. Over the years, our school has expanded its intake and programmes to offer a wide array of opportunities for students. Our Special Programme in Inquiry and REsearch (SPIRE) provides students as young as 14 years old with a preview of what it is like to conduct research in Science, Engineering, Humanities, Social Sciences and Language. For some, their research journey continues with Enrichment-STaR, and eventually some take Higher 3 Research. Our research work is well-supported through various research infrastructure such as Sigma Laboratory in NJC.
