Activity Cards Submission Deadline

We are eagerly awaiting your Questa Club Activity Cards Submissions before the closing date on Monday, 20 August 2012!

What is Questa?

Questa is a Secondary Science Club
exclusively for secondary students who want to learn more about science and would like to be involved in scientific activities. "Questa" is a latin word, meaning, a search made in order to achieve something. This name describes the search a student has to make for information in order to earn a badge. Questa also symbolises the never-ending quest for knowledge which is a scientist's outstanding feature.

Questa Club aims to stimulate interest in science among students encourage students to work independently in areas of interest in science/mathematics, and provide opportunities for students to develop initiative and creativity.

Who are the organisers of Questa?

Questa Club is organised by the Science Centre Singapore, the Science Teachers Association of Singapore, the Singapore Association for the Advancement of Science and the Singapore National Academy of Science.
