The 3M Tinkering Headstart is a collaboration between multinational company 3M and Science Centre Singapore (SCS) This programming is of one year duration, and encourages underprivileged students to learn through play, exploration and experimentation.
Upcoming workshops include marble coaster and resin art. The workshops aim to inspire fun and create an interest in science while helping children understand the importance of science in daily life, and also to nurture the next generation of engineers and scientists.
Participating pupils will also have more access to Stem (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education to enhance their cognitive skills through the workshops.
The programme aims to engage 600 beneficiaries, and is to be extended to other areas nationwide by the end of the year.
