Organised by Singapore Science Centre, this exciting annual event brings science to life through the performing arts. Participating students from Singapore and around the world will get to creatively express scientific concepts using the power of drama. This international competition not only promotes science communication but also nurtures creativity, confidence, and teamwork.

Faith Kwok, a Year 3 Diploma in Applied Chemistry student, reflected on her experience participating in the competition:

 

“Participating in this competition has been an incredibly fun, enriching, and fulfilling experience. From the very beginning, collaborating closely with my friends as a team brought a sense of joy and unity that made the entire journey truly special. Working together from scratch, brainstorming ideas, scripting scenes, to filming each show was not only smooth but filled with laughter, creativity, and mutual support.

It was exciting to blend science with storytelling and bring our ideas to life through drama to enrich others with new knowledge. Even the challenges we faced became opportunities to grow, learn from one another, and strengthen our teamwork.

Receiving the Merit Award was a proud and heartwarming moment for us. I cherished every moment of the process, and am deeply grateful for the chance to be part of something so meaningful and memorable. This experience has inspired me to continue exploring the power of science communication through creative expression."
