Young Science Ambassadors (YSA)

The Young Science Ambassadors (YSA) is a signature programme under the school's Talent Development Programme. It is designed to nurture students with strong potential and a keen interest in Science. Students in YSA are carefully identified and selected based on their aptitude and interest. Through enriched learning experiences, authentic scientific applications and opportunities to engage with the wider scientific community, students in YSA can look forward to deepenening their curiosity and understanding in Science, inspiring them to explore the possibilities of Scientific discovery.

Students in YSA can look forward to:

  • Inspiring Learning Experiences – Participate in enriching learning opportunities that spark curiosity and nurture their passion for Science.

  • Deepening Scientific Knowledge and Skills – Broaden their understanding of various scientific disciplines while strengthening their scientific inquiry and investigative skills.

  • Challenging Scientific Exploration – Engage in an enriched and challenging Science curriculum that encourages the application of scientific knowledge to authentic, real-world contexts and inspires a lifelong interest in Science.

  • Leadership and Communication Opportunities – Develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills through planning and organising Science-related events and activities for the school community.

Students in YSA will have opportunities to be involved in different Science discipline enrichment activities, competitions, carry out investigative projects and even collaborate with researchers in higher learning institutes. Some of the programmes offered in YSA are listed below:


Our Sec 2 YSA participating in the Egg Madness workshop, where they get to hone their Scientific inquiry skills.

Students had the opportunity to visit the Aquaculture Innovation Centre (AIC) at Temasek Polytechnic to see how technology can be used to support modern aquaculture and also appreciate the Science of developing fish feed.

Through these learning experiences, we hope our YSA students grow to be curious, confident and forward-thinking young individuals who are empowered to explore, innovate and make meaningful contributions to society through Science.
