Singapore Science Festival 2010

It feels like it was just yesterday when I visited X-periment during science.09 last year. Wow, so it has been a year and the Singapore Science Festival is back! This time round the theme has changed from "Ask Why" to "Know Why", and Prof Why is joined by 3 other scientific kind in this scientific quest.

Went to check out X-periment at Marina Square. Although I missed the Science Shows timing, but the booths from the various R&D labs and tertiary institutions have been great eye-openers. I feel that compared to last year, this year's displays and set-ups are able to get to the people. No deep theory, but you can see awesome stuff like splitting a photon or reaching to the quantum world with a cool cert and quantum mechanics badge from NUS.

Still too deep? There are other activities that will captivate adults and children alike. It was heartening to see people crowding around booths and listening to explanation or looking into the microscope and trying things out. Hands might get dirty though.

X-periment is on until tomorrow 1 August. There are also other activities such as open house for Singapore Science Festival, so check out their website for details.
