The Singapore Science Festival (SSF) is back for the fourteenth year, bringing back crowd favourites such as X-periment!, the Singapore Mini Maker Faire and the STAR Lecture, alongside several celebrity science performers and exciting new events.
The Singapore Science Festival (SSF) runs from tomorrow till 3 August, 2014.
Opening tomorrow, the yearly celebration of everything science and technology, co-organised by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the Singapore Science Centre, is set to continue rocking young minds and pushing further the buttons of curiosity.
Associate Professor (A/P) Lim Tit Meng, Chief Executive, Science Centre Singapore – Co-Chairperson of Singapore Science Festival.
This is in line with Singapore’s increasingly broad-based approach towards the learning of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) subjects.
A deep interest in STEM motivates thinking, curiosity and innovation, principles that will help the adults of tomorrow navigate and adapt to a rapidly changing world.
With an aim to cultivate and groom the next generation of STEM practitioners in Singapore, SSF 2014 aims to bring STEM subjects to life through interesting and fun play, observation and hands-on experiences.
Differentiating itself from previous editions, this year’s SSF will take on a fresh theme – You Can be a Rock Star with Science.
Introducing the Rock Star Scientists of Singapore Science Festival 2014
The festival will celebrate scientists who are rock stars in their own right, making a difference to the world we live in, and changing the way we learn science.

Intel’s “Thin Canyon” NUC
Intel today launched the newest offering in its Next Unit of Computing (NUC) product line – the first to be powered by an Intel Atom E3815 processor (based on the company’s “Bay Trail” architecture).
The new NUC, model DE3815TYKH, is designed with thin client applications in mind.
It features a fan-less design, on board eMMC memory, and the space savings of a 4”x4” motherboard.
With the ability to directly power a LCD monitor through an onboard eDP connector, the new NUC is a great solution for kiosks, point-of-sale and digital signage.
It also is expected to be relevant to the space-constraints of modern Asia’s urban homes.
The new product is available in distribution starting today.

Intel also announced the first APJ partners for its recently-introduced Education 2 in 1, Intel’s first ever education-targeted reference design using the 2 in 1 form factor.
Intel’s Education 2 in 1
A learning tool designed with students in mind, the Intel Education 2 in 1 has the flexibility and mobility of a tablet plus the performance and productivity of a laptop, giving students the best of both worlds in one device.
The Intel Education 2 in 1 is a powerful learning platform that features affordable tools such as a snap-on magnification lens and a temperature sensor, which work with the Intel Education Software suite to enable experiments that inspire student curiosity and promote inquiry.

How do you “Use Your Power” to drive positive change for the environment?
Here are four simple acts you can do on a daily basis:
- Turn air-conditioning up by one degree
- Switch to LED lighting
- Use fewer plastic bags
- Take shorter showers
Millions of people, businesses and governments around the world unite each year to support Earth Hour, the largest environmental event in history spearheaded by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature).

Samsung Singapore brought in the GALAXY S5, Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit for a media preview today.
* All pictures in this post taken with a Samsung GALAXY Note 3 phablet.
The new Samsung GALAXY S5 viewed from its right side, showing the volume rocker.
Many of the existing features have been enhanced eg. the 16MP camera which now features faster autofocus (0.3 sec) with the hybrid phase detection cum contrast detection autofocus mechanism, realtime-HDR and simulated Lytro-like post-shot selection of focal point.
First impressions:
At the end of the hour-and-a-half session, the impression was that the GALAXY S5 was loaded with features.
There is a feature to help you with anything you may need to do in your daily life.
You may only need 20 percent of the features available, but no matter what is it you need, chances are, there’s a feature for it.
The autofocus did feel really fast when I switched the focus from near to far and back and from light to dark etc.
The perforated design for the finish of the rear panel is a fresh change from the smooth surface of the S4.
I’ve already heard favourable comments from a number who have seen the design physically or on the Web.
The S5 is also dust and water resistant, while the fingerprint scanner worked smoothly to unlock the phone, although you can use that to make online payments using PayPal in Singapore.
View of the Samsung GALAXY S5 from its left.
There’s also the ultra power saving mode that extends the life of the battery to as much as 24 hours when its life has dropped to 10 percent.
