Science and Biomed

คำอธิบายหลักสูตร

Overview
Science and Biomed is a discovery-driven course for students aged 13–17, blending scientific inquiry with biomedical exploration.

About the course

Students engage with core concepts in biology, chemistry, and human physiology through practical investigations, experiments, and collaborative problem-solving. Covering topics from genetics and disease to medical technology and ethics, they develop scientific literacy, critical thinking, and the confidence to communicate complex ideas with clarity.

Over each two-week Sprint, students tackle five challenges connected to the Sprint’s central theme, exploring areas such as genetics, neuroscience, public health, pharmacology, and environmental science. The final challenge, the IMPACT Hackathon, brings together students in small, mixed teams drawn from across the courses. They apply the knowledge, skills, and perspectives gained throughout the Sprint to address pressing global issues, guided by the three pillars of sustainability; social, environmental, and economic.

This experience allows students to contribute meaningfully, share their insights, and present their work with confidence and purpose.
