Yesterday saw the conclusion of the Shell Stem Youth Innovation Challenge 2015, which was organised by Science Centre Singapore’s unit Stem Inc and sponsored by energy company Shell in Singapore.

The competition was open to Sec 3 students from schools offering the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (Stem) Applied Learning Programme. The teams were tasked to solve environmental issues related to food, water, energy and eco-friendly materials.

One of the winning teams had developed a lunch box with a heating mechanism – an incandescent light bulb – that is powered by energy from cycling.
