Taster Programme

Our School offers an innovative STEM education programme for secondary students, where secondary school students learn engineering principles through designing robotic "dancing cockroaches" using vibration theory. This hands-on project combines physics and robotics to demonstrate practical applications of scientific concepts.


Our School also offers a Digital Entertainment Technology (DET) taster programme for secondary school students. This programme teaches participants how to use 3D modeling software to design their own virtual characters. Additionally, students learn to create metaverse environments and develop sandbox games.
