IM²C (International Mathematical Modelling Challenge) is an international competition on mathematical modelling. The purpose of the IM²C is to promote the teaching of mathematical modelling and applications at all educational levels for all students. It is based on the firm belief that students and teachers need to experience the power of mathematics to help better understand, analyze and solve real world problems outside of mathematics itself – and to do so in realistic contexts.
Science Olympiad
Olympiad competitions form part of the Science Department's LoS IV programmes. The aim is to nurture exceptional talent, challenge high achievers, and foster scientific curiosity. Students undergo specialised training sessions to prepare them for these competitions. These programmes provide intellectually stimulating content beyond the standard curriculum, enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, such initiatives help build students' confidence, promote STEM education, and inspire future careers in scientific fields.
Science Centre Research & Development Experience Programme
The primary objectives of this programme are to expose students to real-world applications of scientific principles and to provide them with hands-on experience in high-level experimentation, design, prototyping, and data analysis. This initiative enhances students' practical skills and fosters critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in a research environment.
