[Agronomy] The agronomy section was headed by Dr. Clement Wong and Dr. Tan Ji from the Department of Agricultural and Food Science. The section was divided into an exhibition and workshop. Participants were first briefed on the importance of agriculture, and how it is future prospects are pretty much guaranteed in the face of increasing population, dwindling resources, and climate change.
[Agronomy] Dr. Clement Wong introducing to students the concept of growing microgreens and how it works. Students were also given a simple yet daunting task to name a wide variety of common seeds.
[Agronomy] Participants watching in awe. Apparently, microgreens are something new to many of our participants. The microgreens here were grown on just jut cloth and water.
[Agronomy] Dr. Clement demonstrating how to harvest the microgreens.
[Agronomy] Dr. Clement sharing a lot of interesting information about vegetables with the participants.
[Agronomy] Dr. Tan Ji explaining that agriculture is not just about planting vegetables and fruits. The fact that there are hundreds of thousands of plants in the world there is one that would certainly pique one's interest- a catalyst to develop passion in agriculture.
[Agronomy]
Most plants can be propagated using soil or soilless mixtures, and it is often important to know which combinations to use. Dr. Tan Ji introducing the different growth substrates and propagation techniques used to 'quickly make more plants'.
Ms. Heng from the Department of Agricultural and Food Science manning the plant sales booth, which featured a vast number of plants grown and maintained by the staff and students of the Agricultural Science program.

[Animal Science] Say cheese! An uncommon opportunity to take a group photo with the goats.
[Aquaculture] Ts. Dr. Teoh Chaiw Yee detailing the morphology of a tilapia after explaining to the students about the importance of natural freshwater ecosystems.
[Aquaculture] Dr. Ooi Ai Lin demonstrating to learners how best to dissect a shrimp, and how to identify the innards.
[Aquaculture] Theory is one thing, but practical skills are often another. Here we see the learners in action!
[Microbiology] Dr. Teo Kah Cheng from the Department of Agricultural and Food Science introducing to the learners the magnificent world of microorganisms. There is a huge array of microbes on the planet, some of which are beneficial to humans, while some are not. Therefore, it is often important to be able to identify which is which.
[Microbiology] Dr. Teo demonstrating how antibiotics or chemicals could be used to limit the growth of bacteria, and how similar assays could be used to determine the antimicrobial efficiency of a particular antibiotic or chemical.
Dr. Lim Tuck Meng, Dean of the Faculty of Science giving the closing speech. He highlighted that the learning of scientific knowledge and methodology extend beyond classroom activities and examinations, and that with the correct method of observation and questioning we will be able to probe Nature, leading to significant scientific advancement.
