Bringing together the frontiers of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
STEM is often regarded as the gateway to the future. Unfortunately, the truth is, many students simply do not have sufficient access to resources or opportunities that allow them to explore STEM in depth which is why we brought various STEM activities to them in the form of a STEM Night. We hope that they could appreciate the applicability of STEM and spark their interest that was hidden in the depth of their minds.
Walking through various stations, ranging from programming to math trivia, students may look for their interests - a stepping stone for future investigations. |

Drones
An undeniably recent advancement - drones. They fly around, buzz right past you, but how do they work?
The popular station, brought by Olaf Hichwa, gives students a chance to learned about the mechanism behind workings of drones and its practical application. Through various hands on activities, students can also take their step in learning how to control the 21st century technology.

The Wonders of Math
Math is boring, right? Not really. Being unexpectedly one of the most popular stations, the wonders of math guides students in their exploration of the "intriguing" side of math. In this station, students can learn about the immense power of the subject and its various applications through solving fun questions in a trivia style. Largely involving logical thinking and the criticality of analysis, the questions are designed to train students' unique approaches to situations.
Lego Mindstorms
Robotics is much more than just programming or building -- it also comes with a wide variety of considerations.
What's the best way to do things? What do we want to achieve?How big, heavy, tall, can the robot be? How does the configuration of the robot affect the job? What kind of motors and sensors needed to be equipped?
Together, Lego Mindstorm places emphasis on imagination and techniques and familiarizes the students with this future tech.

Marshmallows and Toothpicks
What's the best way to build a structure? How do forces like tension and compression affect buildings?
Fun and "EATABLE", this station is an extension of civil engineering - a popular career opportunity. Training students to consider strong structures, we emphasized the stability of triangular structures - a primitive yet important principle in the field of structural engineering.

Cymatics and Sound
Every sound is a wave, yet it is not visible or tangible.
However, its effect on liquids primitively reveal its beauty.
In this station, students explore a visual representation of sound. In awe, students can grasp the idea of sound waves.
