Organised by Hwa Chong Institution, the 9th International Science Youth Forum @ Singapore aims to benefit not only students, but also Science educators. It is a rare and valuable platform for brilliant scientists like Nobel Laureates and Fields Medal winners to interact and share ideas with young budding science and mathematics talents. The following are its key objectives:
(a) Inspire Passion for Science Research amongst Youth
(b) Establish co-operation and Friendship amongst Young Science Talents
(c) Build Capacities of Science Educators
(d) Raise Singapore’s Profile as an International Hub for Science Education and Research
During the five days, students and teachers attended the following:
- Social Programme
- Cultural exchange activities
- Excursions to Research Institutions
- Interaction with Nobel Laureates and Eminent Scientists
- Poster Exhibition and Competition (For students only)
- Sharing on Science Education (For teachers only)
From 15 to 19 January 2017, three SST Science TDP students:
Saravanabavan Varsha (S4-04),
Lisantra Felix Felix Sasikumar (S4-04), and
Ho Matsuoka Evangelista Miyuki Sophia (S4-08),
participated in this event.
As part of the Poster Exhibition and Competition, our students showcased their project, entitled
“An investigation of the factors that affect the electrolysis of brine and calcium carbonate”
to the A*STAR Scientists and the Nobel Prize Laureates.
They were awarded the joint Champion for their efforts.
The student’s research project can be found here:
Mr Tan Hoe Teck, the Research Mentor for our students, also attended the teachers’ programme and presented a conference paper on
“Using Performance Tasks as a form of alternative assessment in School of Science and Technology, Singapore”.
Both students and teacher benefitted tremendously from this programme, as it provided the opportunities for Cross-cultural understanding with our foreign delegates.
