Applied Learning Programme

Preparing Students for a SMART Nation and World

Imagine everyday living eased in by technology. You live in smart homes with automated processes. It becomes a norm in the world for drones to navigate between places and deliver parcels. A smart nation and world are no longer dreams, but reality in the near future. We can and should seize opportunities to thrive in the future.

STEM ALP in Action

Jurongville Secondary School prides itself in offering STEM Applied Learning Programme, “Real-World Learning Through Electronics”. All students receive opportunities to learn electronics and apply their learning in real-world settings.

Secondary One and Two students are exposed to the fundamentals of electronics and coding through drone flying activities and learn to control robots using block programing. They learn the basics of how to create their own online games and have hands on opportunities to learn and apply what they have learnt.

Upper Secondary students have the opportunity to specialise in programmes that suit their strengths and interests. These include taking up the O-level Applied Subject, “Electronics”, ITE Applied Subject, “Smart Electrical Technology” or applying for a short-term Applied Learning Modules at Polytechnics (APLM) on Electronics.

Some of the students even had the opportunity to share what they have learnt in STEM ALP lessons with friends in Dripstone Middle School in Darwin Australia.

STEM ALP Competition & Outreach

Students with keen interest in electronics also represent the school in national STEM-related competitions such as the IDE Maker competition, IgnITE Skills Challenge and Technopreneur Challenge.

Quotes from Students:

*” The IDE Maker Competition Competition was memorable because we got to see the different inventions by other teams. We faced challenges in creating our prototype, but we managed to innovate and improvise to build our prototype. I enjoyed the process and learning from others.” Ng Tze Heng, IDE Maker Competition, Engineering Award

*”Being part of the IDE Maker Competition was a very fruitful and enjoyable experience. I managed to learn various things and work together with my peers! I also learnt that it is always important to lend a helping hand and to support everyone else because we are a team..” Azreen Banu Binte Ummor, IDE Maker Competition, Engineering Award

“I had fun and learnt how to work in a team with people I was not familiar with. We had an excellent idea, but we were unable to proceed to the next stage of the competition. I learnt that in being Technopreneur, we need to be convincing in our presentation to get others to buy into our ideas. Kaviarasu Kishore, Technopreneur Competition
