Award Ceremony 2026
This year, we received an overwhelming 434 entries and honoured 42 outstanding teams for their creativity and innovation.
Held at Science Centre Singapore, the ceremony was graced by our Guest of Honour, Ms Gan Siow Huang, Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Ministry of Trade and Industry, alongside our awardees, their families, mentors and guests.
A special highlight was the launch of our virtual exhibition, officiated by Ms Gan Siow Huang, Lawrence Tan (Chairman, TKKF), Prof Wong Limsoon (Chairman, TKKYIA Committee) and Ms Tham Mun See (Chief Executive, Science Centre Singapore). This was followed by a tour of the 30 physical exhibition booths, showcasing the innovative inventions of our awardees.
In her message to our participants, Ms Gan Siow Huang encouraged them to carry their spirit of curiosity and innovation forward: “Keep learning. Keep asking questions. Keep experimenting.” We hope these words will inspire our young innovators to continue exploring, creating and pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Notably, this year marked a significant milestone for the Foundation as we presented our first Gold Award in a decade to The Handy Dandy.
Once again, congratulations to all our winners! Our heartfelt thanks to Science Centre Singapore, Ms Tham Mun See (Chief Executive, Science Centre Singapore), and the Ministry of Education for their continued support of TKKYIA
