STEM Camps

Local Issue

Our activity addressed STEM education by teaching senior high school students intense coding over a period of 3 days (6hours daily) and challenging students to come up with solutions to community challennges and design basic technological solutions to be pitched before a panel of judges on day 5. Additionally we ensured to target students from deprived areas and have equal number of male and females with additional female mentoring sessions to boost the confidence of female students.

Community Impact

I still receive feedback from the students that the sessions were life changing. It enabled them to be more curious and explore more technological inclined careers such as Biomedical Engineering (like in the attached image) which most were not educated on. We also had students from our camp pitching gaining confidence and going on a national competition for robotics.
