Astronomy 2017 @ Art Science Museum, Marina Bay Sands
On 18 and 19 February 2017, the SST Astronomy Club will be joining other groups, including SINGASTRO, Institute of Physics Singapore, National University Singapore, Hwa Chong Institution and other Astronomy Interest Groups to host the largest Astronomy Exhibition in Singapore.
SST will be showcasing its Radioastronomy Research to the public.
Booth Name:
LISTENING TO THE UNIVERSE
Research Work Description:
Over the last 5 years, SST has been conducting Astronomy-Based Research for its students. Amongst the more interesting are the projects based on radio telescopes. There are various models of radio telescopes available for the students to work on.
SST will be showcasing the following radio telescopes that are relevant to the amatuer astronomers: RADIOJOVE, INSPIRE, SSID, SSRT and WRMDS. These telescopes operate on different frequencies to detect emissions from the planet Jupiter, Lightning, Solar Flares and Meteors. This exhibition booth aims to open up the radio spectrum where we can “hear” the universe.
The details of the exhibition can be found here:

Math Talent Development Programme (TDP)
Dear students,
Math TDP this year will take place on Mondays from 3-4:30pm at the Maths Room. The programme targets S2-S3 students but keen S1 students are always welcome to participate. Unlike previous years, Math TDP this year will be designed around modules of mathematical interest, each of which will last about 3-4 weeks. One advantage of this arrangement is that you do not need to commit for a whole year of sessions; you can just pick and choose whatever module interests you. However, once you have committed to a module, please try to turn up for all 3-4 weeks.
The first module of the year will be on Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Ratio. Here’s a sneak preview to what you can expect from the module.
What are Fibonacci numbers?
How are Fibonacci numbers related to the Golden Ratio?
How can we calculate the billionth Fibonacci number without first calculating the first 999999999?
The first session will commence on T1W6 (6 Feb). If you are curious about Fibonacci numbers or are just eager to find out more about Math TDP, do drop by.
We hope to see you there.
