Fundamentals of Computational Thinking
A workshop that introduces the fundamentals of Computational Thinking (CT), providing an overview of what CT is and how it is applied in our daily lives. Participants will gain insights on how CT can be incorporated in their STEM ALP. This workshop is recommended for all teachers who are interested to learn more about CT.
This workshop is conducted at Science Centre.
Timing: 2.00pm - 4.30pm
13 March (Monday)
Systems Thinking
Systems thinking is a holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the way that a system's constituent parts interrelate and how systems work over time and within the context of larger systems. The systems thinking approach contrasts with traditional analysis, which studies systems by breaking them down into their separate elements. Systems thinking can be used in any area of research and has been applied to the study of medical, environmental, political, economic, human resources, and educational systems, among many others.
This workshop is conducted at Science Centre.
Timing: 9.00am - 5.00pm
14 March (Tuesday)
Smart IoT Device - Making it Work
Participants will be introduced to the Internet of Things (IoT)and the architecture as well as the frameworks involved. Hands-on activities will involve the use of the M5Stack IoT and UIFlow platforms to prototype solutions.
This workshop is conducted at Nanyang Polytechnic.
Timing: 10.00am - 1.00pm
16 May (Tuesday)
Application of Micro:bit for Sustainability
Participants will get a chance to learn how to use breakout boards from kits, connect to external sensors and apply Micro:bit skills to Sustainability context. Pre-requisite: Participants need to be familiar with block coding.
This workshop is conducted onsite at Science Centre.
Timing: 2.30pm - 5.30pm
23 May (Thursday)
3D Design Fundamentals
Participants will be introduced to basic 3D modelling concepts and techniques through computer-aided design (CAD) software. They will then design a 3D model for printing, and learn about how to prepare their files for 3D printing.
This workshop is conducted onsite at Science Centre.
Timing: 2.30pm - 5.30pm

Smart Urban Farming
In this interactive session, educators will learn about starting, managing and Participants will obtain knowledge in advancements in agricultural technologies and their integration into farming practices to increase production efficiency and quality of produce.
This workshop is conducted at Republic Polytechnic.
Timing: 2.30pm - 5.30pm
13 July (Thursday)
Mentoring STEM Projects
In this interactive session, educators will learn about starting, managing and sustaining school-based mentoring projects, particularly science projects. Facilitators will share techniques in finding good investigative and engineering topics manageable by students that can be done using available apparatus, strategies to implement a school-wide/talent management mentoring programme and strategies for engaging students during the period of mentoring. This workshop is suitable for secondary science teachers who have little or no experience in mentoring student projects.
This workshop is conducted at Science Centre.
Timing: 2.30pm - 5.30pm
14 July (Friday)
SMART Living
The workshop explores how can we make our home a little more liveable and a lot more automated by adding appliances and devices that can controlled from anywhere. (no coding knowledge required) Teachers will be able to adapt the hands-on experiments learnt from workshop to be used in the class.
This workshop is conducted at Nanyang Polytechnic.
Timing: 2.30pm - 5.30pm
