To develop our students’ competency in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, we design a series of experiential workshops for them to synthesise information and come to a deeper understanding.

Using the scientific inquiry approach, our students learn about the concept of density in scuba diving, the process of extracting DNA from strawberries and the chemistry behind electroplating and slime making.

Friendly competitions have been proven to nurture inquisitiveness in students. They learn what drives them and how to look within to find a solution.

Even during Covid times, TPSS is always seeking new online opportunities for our students to show their talents and apply their skills. We believe that the rewards of these competitions, whether tangible or otherwise, can help them achieve their educational and professional goals.

WORKSHOP WITH JAMES DYSON FOUNDATION

In April and May 2021, selected Sec 2 students participated in a series of lessons and workshops, as part of the Science Stretch Programme. The sessions were in collaboration with the James Dyson Foundation.

During the fruitful and engaging lessons, students learnt about the sources and harmful effects of air pollution. In addition, they were able to use air monitoring devices provided by the James Dyson Foundation to measure the air quality in various parts of the school.

There was also a workshop helmed by an engineer from Dyson, which allowed students to hear first-hand experiences of the roles and responsibilities of air quality engineers.
