Food Science & Technology

Developing Gifts to Society

> Every Woodlander achieves the Triple D’s to be able to contribute to society.

• Discovering the needs of others
• Daring to prototype and try to address these needs, then
• Dreaming further and bigger to improve the prototype to serve those around us in the community

Key Approaches

> Allowing students the space to explore, expand general knowledge and build interest

• Providing varied hands-on learning activities which are process-focused,
• Providing opportunities for first-person experiences such as Learning Journeys to industry partner and workshops at Science Centre,
• Leveraging authentic and local day-to-day contexts which students can relate to, and
• Employing the Design Thinking method in problem-solving.

 Key Programmes

> Exploring Food Science and Computational thinking first, deepening in one later.

Tier 1 & 2 - Broadening & Deepening Learning
Growing all Woodlanders (Sec 1 & 2)

Food Sciences

• Techniques in molecular gastronomy
• Drinks-Making competition - Woodlanders use Design Thinking to create a healthy and visually-appealing beverage with the molecular gastronomy techniques learnt.

Computational Thinking

• Basic and Advanced microcontroller programming.
• Woodlanders then apply their skills to control and programme the flight paths of drones.

Tier 3 – Developing passion
Stretching those with strong interests

Science Competition/Enrichment activities to stretch students’ potential. This includes:

• Science and Technology Challenge by NYP
• Nexplorers (STEM Shell Challenge by STEM INC)
• Food Science Competitions (Nutri-booster- STEM INC & RP, Swensen’s Ice-cream challenge-NYP, Picky Palette- STEM INC & RP)
• Code for Fun programme
• STEM Stretch programme
