Creative Science Innovation/Investigation
AES Science teachers strongly believe that every student is creative,
is an innovator and a problem-solver.
This Creative Science Innovation/Investigation (CSI) project competition aims to
-
provide a platform that develops and strengthens students' interest in Science
-
promote scientific innovation through the application of design thinking strategies
-
encourage the use of creativity and innovative methods in problem solving
-
encourage students to stay curious and investigate the science behind the things around them

Think out of the box and find your own project
You can work on any projects in your own area of interest but it must related to Science!
Project suggestions:
-
Is there something you want to understand the workings of? (E.g. How does a clapper work?)
-
Is there something that you think you can do better?
Chemistry in everyday life
Are you curious to find out what chemicals are present in the things that you use? What are the uses and effects of these chemicals?
Project suggestions
