Signature Programmes

The Environmental Science Education Applied Learning Programme at XMPS has been carefully curated and executed to equip students to be lifelong learners and do their part to alleviate environmental problems.

• Hydroponics Farming
  Innovative and sustainable farming methods such as hydroponics pique students' curiosity about plant reproduction and environmental science as they learn to grow their own food using non-traditional soilless methods. Through hands-on experience in planting, transplanting and crop harvesting, students gain practical knowledge that they are inspired to share with their families, extending their learning beyond the classroom.
  

• GrowFridge Farming
  Students experience growing herbs and vegetables using innovative technology. The micro-fridge device is Singapore’s first plug-and-play smart micro-farm, designed like a kitchen appliance that allows students and teachers to grow their own microgreens under controlled climatic conditions in an indoor setting. Students not only gain comprehensive knowledge of healthy living but also learn about urban farming technology, including temperature settings, watering cycles and lighting for optimal plant growth.
  

• Aeroponics Vertical Farming
  Students learn aeroponics, a plant cultivation technique where roots hang suspended in air whilst nutrient solution is delivered through mist. The nutrient-rich solution is sprayed or dripped directly onto the plant roots, eliminating the need for soil. Through this aeroponic urban farming system, students discover how plants can be grown vertically, requiring significantly less space than traditional farming whilst being more efficient and environmentally sustainable.
  

• Veggie Pod Farming
  By growing vegetables in raised and covered garden beds, students learn that farming can be carried out efficiently in a controlled environment, away from common garden pests. The installation of a self-watering system allows for even greater efficiency in this method of farming. Through fun, hands-on experiences of planting, transplanting and crop harvesting, students are inspired to share both their harvest and urban farming experiences with their families.
  

• Organic Veggie Tower Farming
  Students take charge of their learning and develop responsibility in caring for the vegetables. As the Veggie Tower replicates a natural ecosystem and converts kitchen scraps into natural fertiliser for the vegetables, this programme inspires students to learn more about decomposition processes and plant growth.
