UWS STEM Fest 2026 is set for 27 June at Sands Expo and Convention Centre, giving students, parents and educators a focused way to explore future STEM careers. The event sits under United Women Singapore’s Girls2Pioneers programme.
The theme is Shaping Tomorrow, Today. The official site frames the festival around helping the next generation of female leaders see how Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields can shape their future.
What Is Happening
The programme areas listed by UWS include speed mentoring, STEM workshops, interactive booths and a Career Launchpad. The workshops cover areas such as AI, robotics, cybersecurity, medical research and sustainability, which makes the event useful for students who are curious but not yet sure which STEM lane fits them.
The Career Launchpad is a practical addition because it moves beyond inspiration. UWS describes it as a space for professional headshots, elevator pitch support, interview skills and other career-readiness help.
- Date: 27 June 2026.
- Venue: Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
- Programme: speed mentoring, STEM workshops, interactive booths and Career Launchpad.
- Audience: students, parents, educators, institutions, corporates and STEM professionals.
- Programme umbrella: Girls2Pioneers by United Women Singapore.
How Families Can Use It
Parents should treat the event as a conversation starter. Let students choose sessions that match their curiosity, then discuss what they noticed about real jobs, skills and industries after the visit.
The mentoring and Career Launchpad elements are worth planning around because they can turn a broad interest in STEM into more concrete next steps. Students who are old enough can prepare a short self-introduction, a question about study pathways and one question about the day-to-day work behind a field such as cybersecurity, robotics or medical research.
Educators and corporate volunteers can also use the festival to see where students need clearer support. The interactive booths may reveal which topics draw attention quickly, while the interview and resume-skills content can show where young participants need practical confidence before internships, competitions or school applications.
