Almost every week, members of Tembusu College are invited to meet and chat with guests – both local and international – through a variety of hosted events. There is a huge diversity of backgrounds amongst our visitors, who range from politicians to diplomats, artists, writers, poets, and academics. Select an event category on the left to find out more.
As a Residential College, residents of Tembusu College live and learn together with their peers under the same roof. Integral to the learning is the University Town College Programme (UTCP) where residents read five Seminar-style Modules over their two year residency. Find out more About the Programme or browse available modules on the left.
Concerned about the workload? Find out How UTCP Fits with your faculty-based degree programme at NUS.
Living and learning together at Tembusu happens as part of our ‘Out-of-Classroom Teaching‘ programme.
Keen to continue residing at the college after completing the UTCP? Find out what lies ahead in the Senior Learning Experience.
Experimental ElectroCulture (EXEC) Workshop
Electroculture is the practice of applying electricity, magnetism, monochrome light, and sound to plants to stimulate their growth and improve their health.
Come join TeZ in 5 small electroculture experiments, using DIY technologies and techniques to harvest and recycle otherwise unused sources of solar (photocells), water (kinetic) and atmospheric (electrostatic) energy, to improve plant growth.
Tez is the resident-artist of the 2015 Art/Science Residency Programme, a partnership between Tembusu College, IDMI at NUS and the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands.
RINGO
An experiment whereby a heavy copper wire is looped around a plant to collect and concentrate oscillation energy from extremely high frequency cosmic rays.
AQUAWATTZ
An experiment to transform computer fans into turbine generators, recycling the energy from running water in the aquaponics system.
BIRDBOX
An experiment to design a solar-charged, micro sound box that imitates the sound of birds to sonically stimulate the plants.
EARTHBEAT
An experiment to adapt a C.E.S. circuit to generate a biphasic electric signal, and pulse microcurrents- Schumann (Earth) resonance 7.83Hz and its harmonics- into the soil via stainless steel electrodes.
LUCKY SOLAR PULSE
An experiment to hack the circuit inside the solar-powered “Lucky Cat” to produce a periodic electrical spike to pulse the soil.
