What is the Science Upstream Group?

The Science Upstream Group is a collaboration between several organisations and Science Centre Singapore. We aim to reach out to young people and feed their curiosity – helping them uncover the whys behind everyday occurrences, and discover the whats and hows of scientific research.

We want to inspire young people to consider a life devoted to science and technology.

Our Mission Statement

To stimulate, encourage and nurture the passion for scientific enquiry in Singapore’s youth. To expose parents and educators to science as they play a key role in children’s development.
