Introduction Faculty members are actively involved with schools in collaborative projects and/or serve in a consultative capacity, as well as provide supervision and mentorship of student research projects as part of ongoing outreach efforts. NSSE staff also provide intensive training and tutelage to students representing Singapore at various science Olympiads. Coordinator for Outreach programmes in NSSE is A/P Chia Tet Fatt. Student Research Projects Faculty members supervise and mentor individual and group projects for students involved in science research and enrichment programmes at all levels. These projects are generally conducted in conjunction with ongoing investigations in their respective research laboratories. Students are hence able to interact with academics, research staff and graduate students while undertaking cutting-edge research work in natural sciences and science education. Some student groups may take up these internships as part of their school's enrichment programmes, while many do so under the auspices of formal research programmes. Most projects are then submitted to local and international science competitions, where they have garnered numerous awards and prizes. Research Programmes
Science Competitions
International Science Olympiads The active participation of faculty members in the grooming and training of school and junior college students has resulted in many successful teams sent to prestigious international science competitions and olympiads. These teams have done Singapore proud by bringing back multiple medals and awards. Some of the competitions we have been involved in are:
Our staff were also on the steering and organising committees of the IPhO 2006 held in Singapore from 8 to 17 July 2006.
Other Projects In addition, many faculty members are involved in collaborative projects with individual schools, school clusters and other educational institutions.
