Science Centre Singapore

While formal educational institutions make sure we are raising a nation of “science literate people”, Science Centre Singapore takes this to the next level. We make science accessible and engaging, creating an environment where Singaporeans are empowered to advance their own learning and, hopefully, are inspired to do something incredible with their futures. Some of the ways we do this are by: * setting up exhibitions to illustrate the principles and powers of science and technology in everyday life * conducting school programmes to complement the school science syllabus * producing scientific magazines and natural history guide books * organising promotional activities to bring science closer to the people of Singapore
