Overview

SKY L.A.B! (Seng Kang Youths – Learn. Apply. Breakthrough!) is a science talent development programme initiated by the Science Department at Seng Kang Secondary School. It is designed for selected students who demonstrate a keen interest and aptitude in science. It aims to nurture curiosity, independent learning, critical and inventive thinking, scientific communication and the values needed to pursue further scientific endeavours.

SKY L.A.B! Programme

The three-year programme, spanning from Secondary 2 to 4, offers these SKYentists a structured opportunities of science exploration beyond the curriculum to further develop their scientific knowledge and skills, and challenge them through participation in activities under the science Competition, Communication, and/or Research domains. Students entering SKSS under DSA-STEM will be offered opportunities under the SKY L.A.B! Programme from Secondary 1 onwards.

The programme is guided by the L.A.B! Framework:

Learn: Deepen scientific knowledge and curiosity through experimentation, exploration and authentic learning experiences.
Apply: Apply scientific knowledge and inquiry skills through investigations, problem-solving and scientific challenges.
Breakthrough: Take greater ownership of scientific learning through independent inquiry, innovation and science communication.

Learning Experiences

Through interconnected themes of Science, Technology, Society and Environment (STSE), SKYentists explore specially curated learning experiences that bridge classroom learning and real-world scientific applications.

Focus Areas

From Secondary 3, our SKY L.A.B! SKYentists would specialise in at least one of three focus areas: Science Research, Science Competitions or Science Ambassadorship. These focus areas provide students with opportunities to pursue their scientific interests more deeply, develop specialised skills and apply their knowledge in meaningful, authentic contexts.
