The 1st ASCEND Enrichment Camp Program (AdEP) is a program organized by the Akademi Sains Pendang in collaboration with the Bahagian Pengurusan Sekolah Berasrama Penuh (BPSBP). This program is organized as a platform to unearth students' talents and develop students' potential. In addition, this program is also a learning plan outside the classroom that is formed for students to gain knowledge and experience while improving their personal competence. In line with the National Education Philosophy which states that education in Malaysia is a continuous effort towards further developing individual potential comprehensively and integrated to create a balanced and harmonious human being in terms of intellect, spirituality, emotion and body, based on faith and obedience to God. This effort is to produce Malaysian citizens with knowledge, skills, noble character, responsibility and the ability to achieve personal well-being, as well as contribute to the harmony and prosperity of the family, society and country. In line with the Akademi Sains Pendang's vision of "Nurturing Leaders in Humanizing Technology", the organizers hope that such a program can provide opportunities for students to develop their interests and talents while instilling leadership talent and soft-skills in each of them.
