Presented by Temasek Foundation and organised by Science Centre Singapore, the Young Sustainability Champion programme aims to support youths 10 – 17 years old in developing a deeper understanding of issues concerning sustainability and encourage youths to be advocates for a more sustainable future. Participants apply human-centred design methodologies to develop a deep understanding of issues related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, identify opportunities for innovation, and develop prototypes to address challenges of sustainable development.
Participants learn and apply their knowledge on sustainability via Science Centre Singapore’s online "I am a Young Scientist" platform to complete the core sustainability-related tasks. Participants who have successfully completed the programme will be recognised and presented with badges and e-certificates. Furthermore, there will be additional competition and showcase opportunities available for outstanding participants.
