I wanted to tell you about the Science Centre's annual science festival, science.09. It runs from now till end September, so there're still plenty of activities you and your readers can check out if you're so inclined.
Some are real wacky, like Dr Bunhead's potato bazooka that he'll show off this weekend. Others are somewhat more… niche. Like the talk NParks will be giving about ornamental bananas. Full calendar can be found here: http://www.sciencemonth.org.sg/event/home.aspx
This year we are igniting that spirit of inquisitiveness at the heart of science, which has led to so many of its discoveries, with the theme – Ask Why..
In that spirit, we are encouraging you and your readers to ask your science questions! (and win an Apple 16GB iPod Touch!)
So how do I participate?
- Our website: Submit your questions along with your full name and email on the science.09 website (www.sciencemonth.org.sg)
- OR Twitter: To submit questions and qualify for the contest via Twitter:
- Follow @ProfWhy (www.twitter.com/profwhy), the science.09's mascot Professor Why
- Tweet your questions to @ProfWhy
The more questions you ask, the greater your chances of winning!
Every Monday, Professor Why will also respond to a selection of the previous week's questions. Check the science.09 website for answers!
How long is the contest period?
The contest began on Tuesday, 11 August 2009 and will end at midnight (Singapore time) on Friday, 4 September 2009.

science.09 will kick off with X-periment!, a three-day science carnival at Marina Square Central Atrium and will run from 14-16 August 2009. Highlights at X-periment! include special performances by Dr Bunhead from the UK. Dr Bunhead is sure to be a hit with the kids (and adults!).
