ST JOSEPH ’ S INSTITUTION • JOSEPHIAN ANNUAL 2014 LEARNING JOURNEY
ARTSCIENCE IDEA 2014
When our ArtScience programme for 2014 began in January with the theme “ Energy of the Future ”, it seemed like a serendipitous coincidence . Not only were we embarking on our third year in the programme in a brand new campus , we also had our first group of students from the Integrated Programme taking part as well . So , to be working with ideas about “ energy of the future ” seemed not only apt but also a good sign of things to come for our programme .
And so it proved to be . After six months of venturing into the unknown and unearthing of dormant talents , the efforts of our students and their dedicated mentors culminated in an unforgettable night on 7 August when IDEA 2014 , the finals of the ArtScience competition , took place .
From the inspirational opening speech by Singapore Polytechnic ’ s Deputy Principal , Mr Hee Joh Liang , to the prototype exhibition and the group presentations , it was a night that was the living , breathing epitome of what ArtScience is all about . Although our participants hailed from many different schools including SJI , Guangyang Secondary , CHIJ , St Patrick ’ s School , Anderson Secondary and ACS ( Barker ), the programme has brought all the students together , united in the spirit of creativity and innovation . From the eleven presenting groups , two groups comprising students from SJI and Anderson Secondary emerged as winners , earning the privilege of taking part in the Global ArtScience workshop in Boston .
