YEA Certification
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between
Science Centre Singapore and Singapore Polytechnic in 2016 and renewed in 2019, to incorporate YEA
certification into
STEM Inc Applied Learning Programme (ALP). YEA certification is administered by SP Engineering Cluster.
Students who have completed their Secondary 1 and 2 STEM ALP – Tier 1 programmes, with a minimum of 70% attendance, can apply for the YEA (Applied Learning) award.
Students who have completed only either their Secondary 1 or Sec 2 STEM ALP Tier 1 will not be eligible for the YEA (Applied Learning) award.

YEA (Achievement).
Only outstanding students of each Tier 2 competition/programme organized by SP and Science Centre Singapore (SCS) will be considered for the YEA (Achievement) award.
A new pathway to attain the YEA (Achievement) award, based on the School Principal’s recommendation, will be introduced. Each school can nominate up to 3 students for the YEA (Achievement) award each year. Nominated students should be sitting for
