ALP: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
Explore how Presbyterians High's ALP uses Health and Food Science to bring STEM to life. Students build real-world skills in AI, coding, and design thinking to tackle future challenges.
ALP: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
Our Applied Learning Programme (ALP), Igniting Minds@PresHigh, seeks to broaden our students’ exposure to Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) through Health and Food Science to promote sustainable lifestyles. We leverage our ALP to inspire our students on the beauty of discovery and innovation. We aim to raise the aspirations of our students to pursue STEM-related courses and careers to address the challenges of our future.
Through our ALP, students will be exposed to emerging technologies (e.g. Artificial Intelligence) and harness technology to solve real-world problems related to the Health and Food Science industry. Students will also get to develop computational thinking skills through coding with micro:bit. They will apply the design thinking process and use their computational thinking skills to ideate and design prototypes to solve real-world problems.
