About SSEF Public Day

Objectives of SSEF Public Day

SSEF Public Day aims to spark students’ curiosity in STEM through demonstrating how STEM learning in the classroom is relevant in the real world, and showcasing how STEM helps us make sense of the world around us and overcome some of the complex problems of our times.

In addition, we hope to help students gain a better understanding of STEM professions and enthuse them to take up STEM careers in the future.

SSEF Public Day is open to all - students, parents, teachers and members of public.

Highlights of SSEF Public Day 2026

SSEF Public Day is proud to feature various STEM partner organisations in each edition of SSEF. Our partners engage participants in hands-on activities related to STEM. We also have online STEM Talks, featuring speakers from our sponsoring organisations, sharing about their work experiences.

The highlight of SSEF Public Day 2026 was our inaugural STEM Explorer - a STEM-focused Education and Career Guidance (ECG) experience. Supported by our ECG partners, the experience supported students to explore their own aspirations and sense of purpose, as well as the world of work. Students had opportunities to engage with STEM professionals working in a variety of sectors through direct conversations, and learnt about what it takes to work and thrive in the STEM industry!
