Science Outreach: Igniting Passion in Science Month

 

 

A key highlight of Science Month was the Multidimensional Mathematical Minds (M³) Programme, hosted by the Department of Mathematics. This programme, crafted for exceptionally talented junior secondary school students with a deep enthusiasm for mathematics, aims to provide them with advanced problem-solving skills and stimulate interest in mathematics research. The overwhelming positive feedback has been heartening, and we eagerly anticipate the continued growth of our participants through the programme's diverse modules.

 

 

Another initiative, the ‘Everyday Science Hackathon’ is a unique science communication contest that encourages science lovers to spot an everyday problem, whip up an app solution using scientific know-how, and bring their creative ideas to life in a captivating video. This is the stage for aspired students to harness the power of science to create solutions and produce engaging and impactful content for diverse audiences. Applications are still open, and we encourage secondary school students to join us in advancing science literacy.

 

Beyond these new programmes, the Junior Science Institute (JSI) remains a cornerstone of our outreach programmes. JSI offers an array of activities aimed at enhancing students' comprehension and appreciation of various scientific fields.

 

To complement the Science Month activities, the Science Faculty also organised campus visits., providing secondary school students with a firsthand experience of university life and allowing them to explore our facilities and resources.

 

We are excited by the enthusiasm and participation we've seen so far and are committed to nurturing the scientific curiosity of future generations. Thank you for joining us on this journey of discovery and innovation!
