Singapore Science & Engineering Fair 2024
14 March 2024
Showcasing creativity, perseverance and scientific inquiry, our students impressed with a diverse portfolio of research projects at the Singapore Science & Engineering Fair.
The Singapore Science & Engineering Fair (SSEF) is a national competition organised by the Ministry of Education, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the Science Centre Singapore (SCS).
This year RGS submitted a total of 13 projects in the SSEF Main category and 4 projects in the SSEF Junior Scientists category. Under the guidance of the RGS teacher-mentors, the RGS projects received 1 Silver Award, 3 Bronze Awards and 1 Merit Award under the Main Category. They also received 1 Project Distinction and another Project Merit under the Junior Scientists category. 6 teams also received special awards for their projects.
Congratulations to all the teams and teacher-mentors for their good work!
