Science in the Mall (SITM) -- a science education program that DuPont Singapore has sponsored for the last five years -- recently held its tenth event. The program was organized by the Singapore Science Center and A*STAR, science, technology and research agency of the Singapore government.

SITM takes science closer to the daily lives of the public by sponsoring science shows, exhibits, games and demonstrations in shopping malls across Singapore.   DuPont Singapore initiated a "Science is Fun" drawing competition for children, which attracted more than 170 participants.  The children drew on DuPont™ Tyvek®, and the winning entries are displayed in the Singapore Science Center.

“We are pleased to sponsor such an educational and meaningful event for students to learn, think and experiment with science,” said Hsing Ho, managing director, DuPont Singapore.  “Science is a crucial part of everyday life.”
