A second lecture by Dr Lena Okajima on Science through entertainment with shooting stars on demand, also known as In Conversation with Dr Lena Okajima, was conducted at Science Centre Singapore on the evening of Friday, 24th February 2017. Guests from related fields, corporate professionals, school lecturers, Science Centre Singapore, as well as students graced the lecture to know more about Dr Okajima’s project with the objective to enjoy shooting stars whenever and wherever we want, through the launch of satellite and omitting particles to create artificial shooting stars.

Similar to the lecture at ITE College Central, Dr Okajima explained what shooting stars are and its different historical and cultural background around the world, as well as space development and how their project contributes not only for entertainment, but also to the advancement and research of space in general and our understanding towards shooting stars.

During the Q&A session, guests raised many key questions that touched more on the science and technical aspects of the project, as well as providing valuable suggestions on improving the project. Guests also had the opportunity to see the sample shooting stars particles, satellite parts, and a simulation screen that illustrates the orbiting of the satellite and shooting stars particles, giving a better picture about the concept of the project.

Interactions with Dr Okajima and her team continued beyond the lecture at a reception, which was kindly joined by Science Centre Singapore’s Chief Executive A/Prof Lim Tit Meng and other attending guests. Many ideas and business opportunities were exchanged and explored, with the potential of pushing the project to greater heights.
