As part of the Centre’s effort to outreach to schools in the East Zone and to cultivate the passion for learning Science, the ELIXiR+ Science Programme is extended to Upper Primary Students from schools in the East Zone.
| Introductory Class series | STEM Design Challenge |
|---|---|
| Eligible for: Upper Primary students | Eligible for Primary 5 students only |
| Comprises of 4 online modular classes of 1 to 1.5 hour each on ZOOM covering the following theme: - Introduction to STEM - Sustainability and Emerging Technology - A Gentle Introduction to AI - Introduction to Design Thinking At each of each class, every student will be invited to a STEM game challenge and he/she can win exciting prizes |
Identified students will form a team of 4 (maximum 2 teams per school). They will be required to solve a challenge together as a team using the given material. This challenge will take place online for a duration of 5 hours (inclusive of 2 hours of hands-on activity) At the end of the challenge, each student from the top 3 teams will receive exciting prize. This STEM Design Challenge will serve as the qualifying criteria to apply for DSA-STEM to Dunman Secondary School in 2022. |
Students who are posted to Dunman Secondary School through the DSA-STEM programme will join a STEM related CCA as well as students in this CCA will be part of the ELIXiR+ programme.
The ELIXiR+ program aims to develop and support our Dunmanities from young STEM Innovators to STEM leaders. The table summaries the programme provided to support them.
| Lower Secondary | Sec 1 - Involved in a 6-month project where they take on a solution centric approach to solve a school based problem. - Formed a STEM Think-Tank where students interacts with others of the like-minded. Sec 2 - Involved in the Tampines Citizen Program (Value-In-Action driven) where students will select a list of task provided by Tampines Council. They will create a propose and design a protocol to address the issue raised. - Learning more Advanced technology - Serve as a STEM Ambassador with their involvement in the ELIXiR+ programme for Primary School as well as the school open house. |
