About
STEAM Festival is an annual festival by KidsSTOP™ that promotes an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) amongst preschoolers. Featuring a different theme each year, the festival uncovers simple science concepts to help young ones better understand the hows and whys of everyday occurrences.
Through immersive, interactive, and playful formats, STEAM Festival hopes to be a platform where children can develop their creativity, confidence, critical thinking skills, and most importantly – a sense of curiosity for the world.
STEAM Festival is one of the highlight events of UNTAME, Science Centre Singapore’s wider initiative to spotlight and celebrate the power of STEM.
