《STEAM Education in Singapore》Turner Lam
剛開始時，Turner問觀眾：「當我們談到新加坡，您第一個想到的會是什麼？」一些學生立即回答：「非常嚴謹的教育」。接著，Turner便用幾張照片向大家介紹新加坡一些著名的特色，例如魚尾獅公園，新加坡美食等等。
隨後，Turner繼續介紹他的家鄉新加坡：「我們是一個高度依賴貿易的國家，這也可能是因為我們國家並沒有太多的自然資源，所以幾乎所有東西都必須仰賴進口才行。此外，我們國人常常在任何事情中都會要求自己做到首屈一指。」特納一邊描述他的國家，而觀眾也在台下點頭如搗蒜，似乎可見Turner提到的內容幾乎符合大多數觀眾對新加坡的印象。
接下來，Turner解釋了新加坡的教育體系，帶領聽眾一起經歷了新加坡的教育歷程。新加坡的教育體系常被稱為“引領世界”的教育體系。然而，與此同時，Turner也不吝嗇的分享新加坡的教育體系也存在一些挑戰。 「我們總會以考試為導向，且學習環境競爭十分的激烈，也因此每個學生都必須非常努力讓自己的進度不落後他人太多，這就是為什麼新加坡大多數的學生都承受著無與倫比的壓力之原因。」
然後，Turner分享了ALP（應用學習計劃），ALP側重於科學，技術，工程和數學（即STEM）。Turner說道：「作為一名教育者，我相信知識是由價值驅動的，所以老師可以做的是創造一個環境，讓學生得以練習如何去運用、重組他們手中現有的資源。」Turner深深地認為，教育工作者除了傳授知識外，通過ALP這樣的新型教育型態，學生更可以發掘潛力，並同時發展韌性，以解決未來可能會面臨的挑戰。
Turner在演講的最後再次強調：「我相信知識是價值所驅動的。」，同時他也邀請對ALP教育感興趣觀眾加入他的團隊！
In the beginning of the speech, Turner asked the audience, ‘’When it comes to Singapore, what comes up on your mind?’’ Some students replied immediately, ‘’ Strict Education.’’ Then, Turner demonstrated some apparent features such as Merlion park, Singaporean food to briefly introduce his hometown, Singapore.
Not long after, Turner continued introducing Singapore, ‘’We are a country dependent on trade, and we don't have many natural resources,almost everything is imported. Additionally, we aim to be first in everything.’’
Turner described Singapore while audience were nodding their head. It seemed that whatever Turner just mentioned almost correspond to most audience’s impression with Singapore.
Next, Turner explained the educational system in Singapore, leading the audience to go through the Singapore education journey together. The system has been described as ‘’world-leading’’ educational system. However,at the same time, Turner also reported that there were some challenges of the system. ‘’We are exam-oriented, and the learning environment is really competitive, so each student has to push himself very hard. And that is the reason why most students are under stress.’’
Then, Turner shared ALP (Applied Learning Programme), which focus on the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. (STEM) Turner said,’’ As an educator, I believe knowledge is driven by value, so what teacher could do is to create the environment where students are trained to collaborate the resources in hand.’’ As Turner believed, beyond imparting knowledge, through ALP this type of education, students can uncover innate talents and develop resilience, to resolve the future issue.
In the end of the speech, Turner emphasized, ‘’I believe knowledge is driven by value.’’ and simultaneously invited anyone who interested in ALP to join his team.
