The First BBSG Science Festival

The inaugural BBSG Tech Festival recently concluded with an exhilarating celebration of innovation. The event featured everything from dramatic science experiment demonstrations to advanced human-robot interactions. 

From junior secondary students' ambitious "Home Fusion Reactor" project to Grade 1 students' eco-friendly programmed devices, the festival showcased our students' boundless creativity and enthusiasm for science.

Primary School: Discovering the Magic of Science

The festival kicked off with spectacular demonstrations by STEAM and Science teachers. Their mind-bending experiments left students in awe. Eleven interactive stations provided hands-on experiences with AI design, robotics, creative tools, and scientific principles. Abstract concepts such as atmospheric pressure and aerodynamics were brought to life through these demonstrations. Students explored how different robot designs excelled at various tasks. This encouraged them to think critically about optimisation and collaboration. 

"Our goal is to offer interactive experiences that allow students to showcase their creativity, share knowledge, and spark scientific curiosity. Learning occurs naturally through hands-on exploration and peer collaboration." said Ms. Diana Li, Primary Science Lead

The student innovation showcase featured an impressive range of inventions. These included scientific experiments and creative solutions for everyday challenges. "These projects showcase how students apply classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios. They foster essential cross-disciplinary thinking skills for the future." said Mr. Johnny Guo, Head of STEAM.

Junior Secondary: Beyond Dimensions: Science Unbound

Students explored cutting-edge technology through visits to the Pony.ai laboratories and the GAC Technology Museum. They gained insights into AI principles in autonomous driving and learnt about sustainable energy solutions. In addition, they explored sensor technology and real-time decision-making in AI systems. Interdisciplinary workshops allowed students to experiment with electronics, chemistry, mechanics, and design across various laboratory settings.     "We aim to bridge the gap between textbook learning and real-world applications. Our goal is to help students understand how technology shapes our world and adapt to the rapidly evolving AI era."  said Ms. Candice Li, Junior Secondary Science Coordinator.

The Industry Expert talk featured thought-provoking discussions between students and Professor Zhang Dong from the School of Future Technology at South China University of Technology.

The festival's success was measured not only in the spectacular demonstrations but also in the spark of curiosity visible in students' eyes. Come and visit BBSG to explore more of our STEAM learning journey!
