10 CATALYST is a program by Nullspace Science to develop the next generation of young innovators and change-makers. Part of our goal is to help students get admitted to the school of their choice through the Direct School Admission Secondary (DSA-Sec) exercise. Students in this program will be personally mentored by our instructors to develop science projects of their choice, and to learn skills such as programming, 3D printing, and mechanical design. CATA- LYST sessions are a mixture of small group consultation, project fabrication, and idea presentations. Students will get to build their own personal portfolio website to showcase their projects.

11 IDE Championships started in 2011 as a small scale competition: IDE Challenge. Now in its fourth year running, the event now includes IDE LEGO Robotics and IDE Arduino Robotics. The spirit behind the IDE competition is the element of an unknown challenge or mission, which will only be revealed at the start of the competition. These challenges vary from year to year but the emphasis on innovativeness, design and engineering remains at the heart of the competition. Visit us at
