Scientific curiosity is built through experiences — from observing DNA for the first time to creating jam through teamwork.
Welcome back to the “World Exploration” series. In this episode, our students embarked on a STEM summer camp in Singapore focused on hands-on and experiential learning. Through experiments in professional labs equipped with advanced technology, they brought textbook theories to life.
Here are a few highlights of their hands-on breakthroughs at Science Centre Singapore:
The DNA Learning Lab: Moving beyond textbook illustrations, students extracted DNA and observed the results of the experiment first-hand. As one student shared: “The equipment was so interesting, and I just love exploring new things!” 🔬
Molecular Gastronomy Workshop: Students explored the science behind food preparation while experiencing the value of teamwork. “Working as a team made the process much faster — we finished it in just three or four minutes!” 🍓🤝
Water Rocket Challenge: Engineering principles came alive as students designed, built, and launched their own water rockets, helping them develop confidence and practical skills. 🚀
Beyond the labs, the exploration continued across Singapore. Students visited the campuses of National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore to gain insights into university life, discovered advanced automation at Weston Robot, and learnt about Singapore’s approach to sustainable urban development. 🏙️🌿
Through hands-on learning, reflection, and collaboration, our students returned home with meaningful memories and greater confidence for their future learning journeys.
