Meet the Scientist

Meet the Scientist is a series of monthly talks at the Singapore Science Centre, where distinguished scientists from A*STAR's Research Institutes will be invited to share their experiences. These talks allow students and Singapore Science Centre visitors to interact with real-life scientists, and know more about interesting scientific research topics, as well as what motivates scientists to be passionate about their work. More information on the upcoming Meet the Scientist talk can be found here .

DNA Learning Lab at Science Centre

The DNA learning Lab is an A*STAR-sponsored facility at the Singapore Science Centre, which engages students and the public in the wonders of gene technology. Participants at the DNA Learning Lab can enjoy programmes ranging from introductory classes to hands-on experiments, such as the study of micro-organisms and the technique of bacteria transformation. Gain a deeper understanding of life sciences concepts, and be inspired to consider a career in the field of life sciences.

Discover Science Resources

Discover Science Resources is an educational outreach project that allows Singapore schools to use science resources such as kits, mini-exhibits and posters. These resources can be very useful to teachers for their science lessons or other science-related school events. These innovative resources enable schools to present and teach scientific concepts in a variety of interesting ways that cater to different groups of students. To understand how to make full use of the Discover Science Resources to enhance science activities in school, or make an online booking through the Singapore Science Centre for these resources, please click here

New Programmes

New Programmes are introduced yearly to benefit students and inspire a career in Science and Research.

Hooked On Science involves science performers going to primary schools and aims to reach students through lively performances, interesting storylines and hand-on activities that complement the primary science syllabus. It is offered to schools through an online booking system.

Science Buskers Festival encompassed the idea of developing the individual's communication skills through expressions of science in creative manners. Organised as a competition, Science Buskers Festival served as an excellent platform to spread key messages relating to the importance of making science “alive” in action. During the competition, contestants did a "show-and-tell" on any science topic, and judging was based on audiences' votes and judges' scores. For more information, click here
