Research@YDSP

		First row: Wendy Lim, Elis Lee (L-R) Back row: Charlotte Loh, Edwin Lee (L-R)

Research@YDSP is so interesting. I learnt 100 times more than what was taught in school! Everyone was so friendly here and our mentor was especially nice to all of us. If given the chance, I will definitely come back next year.

- Wendy Lim, Dunman High School

Research@YDSP has been an enjoyable and enriching experience. Although the content of my research task was rather demanding, it was nevertheless rewarding to take away new bits of scientific knowledge after a laborious day in the Physics laboratory. Both my mentor and project mates have also provided me with valuable guidance and assistance, enabling me to benefit tremendously from this experience.

- Elis Lee, 16, Temasek Junior College (IP)

Research@YDSP has been very enriching for me. Under my mentor’s guidance, I gained much insight through my research project and it has inspired me to take on a R&D career in the future. Through the programme, I also made many friends from other schools.

- Charlotte Loh, 16, Dunman High School

Research@YDSP gave me a chance to do something that I will never get to do in school! It’s not just 3 months of fun research, but 3 months of exposure to Defence Technology with plenty of new friends!

- Edwin Lee, Temasek Junior College

YDSP Science and Technology Camp


		Front to back: Fan Yinghui, Hong Liyue, Adriel Luo

The Science & Technology Camp has really been an enriching experience for me. The interaction with our mentors and instructors have enabled us to gain greater insights into the exciting world of defence technology. On top of that, we are given the freedom to unleash our imagination and create a short animation clip which allowed us to express our creativity. It was a fruitful and fun 5 day camp.

- Fan Yinghui, Nanyang Girls’ High School

The YDSP Science & Technology Camp was a pleasurable experience. The tour to a series of laboratories gave us an insight into the work produced by talented defence scientists. Inspirational talks held on the first day sparked our passion towards defence science. The workshop at Science Centre proved to be a good opportunity for us to engage in hands-on activities. It has been a delightful experience connecting with friends and instructors while learning new things.

- Hong Liyue, Nanyang Girls’ High School

The YDSP Science & Technology Camp gave me good exposure in the area of engineering and working in Singapore’s defence science sector. I learnt how to programme and design LEGO Mindstorms robots, a process very similar to what engineers do.

World of Science


		Front row: Heidi Gay, Eugene Woo (L-R) Back row: Ng Yuting, Ng Geok Ting (L-R)

The course was pretty neat with all its toys, and definitely lived up to YDSP's reputation for challenging the brightest students around.

- Heidi Gay, Raffles Girls’ (Secondary) School

World of Science, Aerodynamics module has been extremely enriching and enjoyable! This course has given me the opportunity to gain deeper insights into the field of aerodynamics and developed my interests in defence technology.

- Eugene Woo, Raffles Institution

In World of Science, Photonics, we got to play with really cool toys such as a Q-switching laser. On top of that, we learnt new things about light that are out of our normal curriculum. Last of all, I’ve made new friends! Truth to be told, it was better than I expected! World of Science Photonics: “Let there be light!”

- Ng Yuting, NUS High School

I have found the World of Science, Photonics module to be extremely enriching. I have gained new knowledge in areas such as polarization, light propagation and applications of lasers. These are areas that are very new and exciting to me. I also interacted with many ‘scientists cum mentors’ and had a better understanding of their work. All in all, WOS has been very beneficial.
