Soft Opening of the Innovation Centre

On the same day as our school opening ceremony, the BBSG Innovation Centre received its first visiting teachers, students and parents, all under the guidance of the STEAM Department teachers.

Senior students demonstrated their precision by remotely striking enemy robots and bases, engaged in the thrilling Infantry Robot Match, and proudly showcased their prowess in the EP Engineering Robot Handling Challenge.

In the Innovation Centre, the younger students immersed in the highly open-ended Unpowered Flyer Track, 'Wind Tunnel Device,' and '3D Printing', engaging in captivating experiments.

There were spectacular drone formation performances, immersive VR science experiences, interactive light and shadow exhibits, and much more. All of these experiences have left students eagerly anticipating the official launch of the Innovation Centre and envisioning an exciting journey into the realms of science and innovation through the interdisciplinary STEAM courses.

In today's world, students find themselves in the midst of intense global competition for talent. The days when expertise in a single field was adequate to tackle real-world challenges are long gone. It has become imperative to adopt a more comprehensive approach when considering the objectives and strategies for education, aligning the talents with the practical needs of the real world. The lines between disciplines have blurred. To facilitate the cultivation of vital knowledge and skills, it is imperative to harness the potential of technology, enabling practical application, learning, and knowledge construction.

By seamlessly integrating both local and global resources and capitalising on the Innovation Centre's diverse spaces, state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, comprehensive curriculum, and exceptional faculty, the BBSG STEAM team is dedicated to nurturing the scientific spirit within students. Our aim is to boost their confidence in science and technology, foster a deep sense of patriotism, and cultivate a generation of young individuals with a genuine passion for science and research, poised to devote themselves to careers in the field.

BBSG is firmly committed to the ethos of Future Ready Complete Education. At the heart of our distinctive approach lies the Innovation Centre, a visionary hub that integrates the realms of science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics, and humanities. This remarkable facility is furnished with cutting-edge tools and equipment, including 3D printers, laser cutting machines, and CNC machine tools, enabling the transformation of creative ideas into reality. Within this dynamic environment, we provide a personalised education based on the pillars of knowledge, experience, and scientific and technological literacy. Our educational approach is tailored to each child's unique needs, embracing their individual interests, passions, and strengths. By doing so, we not only support personal growth but also foster the development of essential 4C core competencies: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Our goal is to cultivate the qualities of visionary leaders capable of shaping the world and instill an entrepreneurial spirit that drives positive change.

The 'trial run' is seamlessly integrated into the school's daily STEAM project-based learning and interdisciplinary approach. We will empower every student at BBSG to Be Future World Ready, and to create and realise unlimited possibilities for their future.
