You will plan, coordinate, and execute a diverse portfolio of STEM events — including competitions, festivals, conferences, seminars, trails and workshops — that inspire scientific curiosity and nurture a passion for discovery among Singapore's youth and the broader public. Recognising the pivotal role that parents and educators play in shaping young people's learning journeys and career aspirations, selected programmes will also be designed to engage and support these audiences.
