According to the Infocomm Media Development Authority, technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are referred to as immersive media. From sectors like engineering, media, healthcare, education and retail, AR and VR are expected to play a key role in the development in the digital economy.

Caltex Fuel Your School - Tech Jam 2020 offers kids of all ages the chance to explore the world of AR and VR.  They will use this knowledge of AR and VR, together with other technological tools such as 3D assets and Stop-Motion Animation, to create AR-related immersive media and projects based on renewable energy themed comic story.

Caltex’s signature Fuel Your School initiative is a community outreach programme designed to inspire learning and provide educational support for students.

In 2020, Caltex Singapore will contribute $3, up to $60,000, for every successful fuel transaction using CaltexGO between 26 June 2020 to 26 July 2020. 

Funds will be channelled towards sparking interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects through a fun and accessible-to-all learning journey. This programme offers motorists a convenient way to support education in their community.

From 26 June 2020 to 26 July 2020, when the motorist makes a successful fuel transaction using CaltexGO, Caltex will contribute $3, up to $60,000, to Science Centre Singapore to fund this Augmented Reality (AR) programme for local students in Singapore.

This educational programme is designed and developed solely by the Science Centre Singapore.

This programme enables students to complete a set of online challenges to learn Augmented Reality (AR) and to submit a project using AR. This is a part of the Science Centre Singapore’s 'I am a Young Scientist' Badge Programme.

This programme enables students to learn how to create content using AR based on the theme of energy.

It includes, but not limited to, the following elements: comic strip, stop motion animation, Augmented Reality (AR), and use of 3D items.

All student submissions via the 'I am a Young Scientist Badge Programme' website will be graded by Science Educators and Caltex volunteers.
