STEM Talent Development

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.
Upper Secondary	Sec 3 and 4 - Learn STEM Elective Module as part of their curriculum - Outstanding student will be nominated for the A* Science Award - STEM Advocates - Singapore Science and Engineer Fair (SSEF)
