[S1, S2, S3] Shout Out to Sec 1-3 Girls! Sign up for Micron Chip Camp!

November Micron Chip Camp is open exclusively to Girls only!

This camp is sponsored by Micron, a leading company in the semiconductor industry and its operations includes the manufacturing of microchips.
The camp is intended to reach out and provide opportunities to girls to the world of STEM through the semiconductor industry. This is to encourage greater participation of women in STEM-related careers later in their life.
Through fun, gamified team challenges, participants will discover the exciting world of artificial intelligence (AI), humanoid robotics, and microchip manufacturing. They will take part in engaging activities such as card games, Fun with Electronics, TonyBots, UV Lithography, and hands-on experiences showcasing the power of microchips.

 

What's New at Micron Chip Camp 2026?

This year, we're breaking boundaries (literally!). Instead of one intensive 3-day camp, we've created three standalone workshops that you can mix and match.

Want to try just one? Go for it! Curious about all three? Even better!

Each workshop runs for 3 hours of hands-on excitement, plus, it's completely FREE thanks to our amazing sponsors at Micron!

 

Workshop Details

Each day consists of two sessions—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—with two workshops conducted during each session.

Workshop 1:  The World of AI: Understanding Machine Learning and Computer Vision

Specially developed for newbies, no computing knowledge required – just a curiosity about the how the AI world came about and how it is shaping everything around us!

Journey through AI's fascinating evolution from ancient dreams to today's revolution! Discover how machines learned to "think" through engaging stories and card games.

Then dive into hands-on online activities and interactions with our very own humanoid robot AMECA to explore computer vision and Gen AI.

 

Workshop 2: From Logic Gates to Memory Chips: An Introduction to UV Lithography

Ever wondered how your phone remembers everything? Crack the code of binary language, play with circuits to understand logic gates, and conduct lithography experiments (used to make memory chips) using nail polish and UV lamps.

Yes, you read that right – nail polish! Who knew semiconductor manufacturing could be this cool?

 

Workshop 3: Hands-on Robotics: Tinkering with Elecfreaks and TonyBot

Developed for students who are keen to experience programming. You can build, programme, and watch your creations come to life! Start with old-school Lego-brick robots powered by Micro:bit, then level up to the TonyBot – a modern humanoid robot that responds to your voice commands. 

It's like having your own personal R2-D2!

Racial Harmony Day 2026 – Our People, Our Tapestry

Dear students, 

Racial Harmony Day (RHD) is a meaningful opportunity to reflect on how our nation has grown as a multicultural society one built on mutual respect, understanding, and unity among people of all ethnicities and cultures.

This year’s theme, “Our People, Our Tapestry,” reminds us that each of our cultures is like a unique thread in the rich fabric of Singapore. Together, these threads create a vibrant and resilient tapestry. At times, differences may challenge us, but they also give us the chance to listen, learn, and strengthen the bonds that hold us together through empathy, curiosity, and care.

RHD is not just a celebration. It is a time for us to reflect on how we can express our views respectfully, appreciate diverse perspectives, and contribute to a more inclusive and united community.

To commemorate this important occasion on 20 July (Monday), all students are encouraged to come dressed in their traditional ethnic attire that reflects the rich cultural heritage of Singapore. This symbolic act reminds us of the beauty and strength found in our diversity.

We also invite you to take a step further, consider swapping traditional ethnic costumes with friends or borrowing one from someone of a different culture. These small yet meaningful gestures are opportunities to build deeper understanding and appreciation for each other’s cultures.

Let us approach this celebration with openness, respect, and curiosity. Please ensure that all attire:

• Respects cultural traditions

• Is of appropriate length

• Avoids offensive or outlandish designs

• Includes covered shoes for safety

*** You are to change into your S&W attire should you have S&W lessons on 20th July, Monday. 

Let’s use this Racial Harmony Day to show appreciation for one another’s cultures, learn something new, and continue building a more inclusive and united community.

Together, let’s make this a meaningful and memorable celebration!

*If you have any queries regarding attire on 20 July or the RHD programme, please check in with your Form Teacher.

Brought to you by the Active Citizenship Education (ACE) Committee
