Where? Various places, e.g. Science centre, NUS, etc.

If nothing interests you, maybe this will: THE AMAZING CHEMISTRY RACE.

"You do not have to eat half cooked ostrich egg with two dozen of chicken eggs nor do you have to paraglide in tandem with an instructor off the 5,000-foot mountain. In the Amazing Chemistry Race, you only need to stay focused and dynamic! We will bring experiments and apparatus out of the laboratory and prove that you can learn about chemistry even when you are in a race!" (extracted from NCW brochure)

To sign up, download the registration form which could be found at the above url and email to the person-in-charge. See you there!
