The Singapore Science & Engineering Fair (SSEF) is a national competition organised by the Ministry of Education (MOE), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and Science Centre Singapore (SCS). The SSEF is affiliated to the prestigious International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), which is regarded as the Olympics of science competitions.
Since 2021, Singapore Mathematical Society started giving out Special Award for Ingenuity for selected mathematical projects.
