This initiative was introduced by a married scientist with the vision of fostering Malaysia’s future generation of professionals in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. Recognizing the importance of early exposure to these fields, they believe that sparking curiosity and enthusiasm for STEM must begin at a young age.To achieve this, students should be actively engaged in hands-on learning experiences beyond traditional classroom lessons, allowing them to explore scientific concepts, technological innovations, and engineering principles in a fun and interactive way. By incorporating experiments, creative problem-solving activities, and real-world applications, this initiative aims to cultivate a strong foundation in STEM, equipping young learners with the necessary skills and mindset to pursue future careers in these critical fields. Through continuous efforts and collaborations with educational institutions, industry partners, and private organizations, this initiative seeks to broaden access to STEM education, ensuring that all children—regardless of background—have the opportunity to discover their potential, develop critical thinking skills, and contribute to Malaysia’s growth as a leader in science and technology.
