STUDENT WORKSHOPS
Student Workshops are open to secondary students and above. Workshops are scheduled on
request at your preferred time. A minimum participation number of 10 and maximum of 20 students
applies.
The Centre for Research & Applied Learning in
Science (CRADLΣ) is a new teaching and research
lab at Science Centre Singapore that aims to provide
students and teachers with a captivating, active journey of discovery in the area of physical science.

TEACHER WORKSHOPS
Teacher Workshops are similar to student workshops and are adjusted for a more advanced audience with a view to inspire teachers to bring more
hands-on activities to the classroom.
FIRST FRIDAY HACK!SHOPS
First Friday Hack!Shops are monthly Arduino sessions organized together with the Singapore Academy of Young Engineers & Scientists (SAYES). It
is conducted on the first Friday afternoon of each
month.

The workshops offered will help to prepare and equip
students with the skills and knowledge for science
and engineering projects and competitions. Students
will have the opportunity to work with prototyping and
fabrication equipment to realize their projects.
Location
CRADLΣ programmes are conducted at
Science Centre Singapore
15 Science Centre Road (Jurong East MRT)
Singapore 609081
Ideal for students preparing for Amazing Science X
Challenge (ASXC), Singapore Science & Engineering Fair (SSEF), Tan Kah Kee Young Inventors
Award (TKKYIA) or Design & Technology projects.
( DURATION : 3 HOURS )
The Arduino is a simple microcontroller (think of it
as a very small computer with limited hardware)
that is designed for non-technical users such as
artists, designers and performers. It is a popular
tinkering platform for students (and even professionals) to build electronic and interactive projects.

Why learn to build your own thingamajig? Because you can..
Why buy when you can build your own?
Arduino allows you to turn your big idea into hardware reality.
Exploring sensors and actuators
Learn about different types of sensors (light,
temperature, sound, movement, proximity)
and build simple projects using a range of
sensors from a simple light-detecting sensor
to motion detectors.
Simple contactless control
Explore the basics of near-field communication and RFID technology to produce a
simple contactless control system to play a
tune or activate a servo motor.
Passive infra-red and ultrasonic
sensors
Understand how passive infra-red (PIR),
ultrasonic rangefinder and Arduino microcontroller can work together to help an interactive system to ‘see’ and detect the surroundings.

Build your own gas detector
Explore how gas sensors work and
construct simple circuits to detect carbon monoxide (CO), methane and alcohol. Ideal for anyone who wants to build
their own personalized ‘breathalyser’.
Build your own data-logger
Learn how humidity, barometric pressure and temperature sensors work.
Construct a personal data logging
device and store the data using a
microSD card.
Hacking toys, gadgets & other
knick knacks
Learn how Arduino can be used to turn
ordinary objects or discarded toys into
a ‘smart’ gadget.
The workshops can also be customized to suit
individual or class’ needs
Individual workshop fees start from $6
per student. External facilitation at school
site can be arranged for larger class
size. Please contact us at:
