Introduction
The THINK© Challenge is an annual science competition organised by Temasek Junior College (TJC) for Primary 5 and 6 students. The challenge is eponymously named after the THINK Cycle - Trigger, Harness, Investigate, Network and Know - an inquiry-based pedagogy developed at TJC.
Since 2020, against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, the THINK© Challenge has evolved to the e-THINK© Challenge, with a greater emphasis on scientific communication. Participants continue to discover and explore science with the provided materials but would also have the opportunity to share their newly learnt concepts and present them creatively on new digital media.

Before the start of the Challenge, as the Trigger, participants were each given a Challenge and a mystery toolkit containing items such as a torchlight, mirror, prism and a pair of polarising sunglasses. This year's Challenge theme was on Light. Along with the toolkit, participants were given a set of resources with which they could Harness information from content experts and the internet in order to Investigate the properties of light. Participants could also Network with TJC's Science teachers and IP students through the SLS Forum during the process.
Finally, participants had to demonstrate what they Know by producing a short educational video.
