Hitachi High-Tech Inspire STEM X LKCNHM: Advancing STEM Education in Singapore

Hitachi High-Tech (Singapore) held an exhibition event titled 'Nature Remixed' at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, National University of Singapore, on May 20.

The exhibition featured animations created from highly-magnified images of sponges captured using the TM4000 PlusⅡ tabletop electron microscope. Through these animations, participants were not only able to 'glimpse into an invisible world', but also to experience a fusion of science and art. At the end of the event, participants had the opportunity to operate the microscope and experience its functions firsthand.
This exhibition was part of a public program titled 'Secrets of Extraordinary Microworlds,' which serves as a biodiversity outreach program in collaboration with Hitachi High-Tech Group, Hitachi Group, and LKCNHM. The program includes biodiversity workshops for middle and high school students in Singapore, aiming to foster curiosity in the field of science by providing hands-on experience with electron microscopes.

In the future, Hitachi High-Tech Group will continue to nurture the next generation of innovative science pioneers through STEM education in collaboration with various stakeholders.
