Hey there, science enthusiasts! If you’re as excited about all things science as we are, then you’re in for a real treat. A brand-new Science Centre is in the works, and it’s going to be right next to the Chinese Garden MRT station. We’re looking at a grand opening at the end of 2027, and trust us, it’s going to blow your mind.
A Decade in the Making
This incredible project is the result of more than a decade of hard work and collaboration among multiple STEM partners. Imagine the brainpower and creativity that’s gone into making this happen! It’s all about long-term planning, folks.
The Bigger, The Better
The new Science Centre is going to be about 25% bigger than the current one in Jurong East. More space means more cool stuff. Expect unique facilities and a wide range of programs in the new, massive 55,000 sqm building.
What’s in Store for You?
For the little ones, there’s the revamped KidsSTOP, which is going to be double the size of the current one. It’s all about hands-on interactive exhibits, designed to spark curiosity and exploration in our young scientists. Parents, take note, because there will be exhibitions and programs that let you play a bigger role in your child’s scientific journey.
Real-World Science Talk
The new Science Centre is all about engaging you in discussions about real-world issues. Think sustainability, climate change, and Artificial Intelligence. Workshops, exhibitions, and seminars are on the menu. It’s not just for the kids; they’ve got stuff for the grown-ups, too.
