The government of Singapore aims to make STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) subjects interesting, relevant and engaging for students.

To achieve this goal, the government has funded initiatives such as the Singapore Science Festival (SSF), the nation’s largest and longest-running annual science event.

Jointly organised by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) and Science Centre Singapore, Singaporeans can look forward to more than 30 activities taking place across Singapore until Aug 5.

Fundamental to Singapore evolving into a smart nation is the task of building a society that celebrates scientific and technological challenges, and embraces new ideas and innovations.

The scientific community must play its part in breaking down communication barriers and improving this dialogue between citizens and the scientific community.
