On 31 July 2026, I presented the Einstein Circuit Lab, an interactive Tinkercad workshop designed to introduce young learners aged 11–12 to basic electronics, coding, and digital invention. The session used Tinkercad, Micro:bit, and Arduino to transform technical concepts into accessible, hands-on learning experiences. Participants explored how electrical circuits operated, identified essential electronic components, and learned why electricity required a complete path.
During the workshop, learners completed three guided missions. First, they constructed and simulated a simple LED circuit using a battery, resistor, wires, and LED. Next, they used block coding with a Micro:bit to display words, icons, and simple animations. Finally, they programmed an Arduino-based burglar alarm system by combining circuit design with coding and simulation.
The 1.5-hour session included demonstrations, project-based activities, challenges, troubleshooting, and a final recap. Through these activities, participants developed confidence in problem-solving, computational thinking, creativity, and basic engineering design. The workshop also encouraged learners to test ideas safely in a virtual environment before applying them to physical systems.
This sharing reflected my commitment to making STEM education engaging, practical, and meaningful while nurturing curiosity, teamwork, and an early interest in technology, innovation, and future careers.
Atom Bonding Lab V26 is an interactive chemistry learning project developed by Afeef Alimie to help students understand atomic structure, electron arrangement, and chemical bonding through a game-based digital platform. The project uses a neon blue science-themed interface to create an attractive and engaging learning environment. It includes three main features: the Electron Arrangement Explorer, Compound Synthesizer Lab, and Quiz Challenge. The Electron Arrangement Explorer helps students learn atomic numbers, valence electrons, electron shells, and shell diagrams visually. The Compound Synthesizer Lab allows students to explore how elements combine to form compounds using drag-and-drop activities and bonding animations. The Quiz Challenge helps students test their understanding through immediate feedback and scoring. This project promotes active learning by encouraging students to explore, experiment, and apply chemistry concepts. Overall, Atom Bonding Lab V26 provides a fun, modern, and meaningful way to learn basic chemistry concepts.
FKE lecturers, Estech Club from FKE UiTMPG together with SK Permas Jaya 4 students and teachers.
On 9 May 2026, I had the opportunity to participate in the “Memperkasa Kelestarian Sekolah” community service programme at SK Permas Jaya 4, Pasir Gudang, jointly organised by ESTECH UiTM Pasir Gudang and the school.
Led by Dr. Khairul Kamarudin Hasan, the programme focused on beautifying the school environment through mural painting, and repainting used tyre plant pots and planter boxes to give them a fresh new look.
Special appreciation goes to Pn. Marliza bt Shamsuddin, the school initiator of the programme and also my university mate. She is a highly committed teacher whose passion and dedication towards creating a positive and sustainable learning environment are truly inspiring.
The programme successfully strengthened collaboration between the university and school community while promoting sustainability, creativity, and teamwork among participants.
CDIO framework (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate)
On 25th July 2025, I had the privilege of sharing a hands-on engineering experience with the enthusiastic Year 6 students (12 years old) of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kompleks KLIA, in a session titled “Dari Kereta Mainan ke Dunia Sebenar.” The event, organized by a dedicated teacher from SK Kompleks KLIA in collaboration with IEEE Young Professionals (YP) Malaysia, introduced students to the exciting world of Electrical and Electronic (EE) Engineering through the process of building their own RC (Radio-Controlled) Cars as part of the RBT (Reka Bentuk dan Teknologi) subject.
During my presentation, I introduced the concept of engineering design using the CDIO framework (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate). Interestingly, although the students were not explicitly taught CDIO, their RC car project naturally followed these phases, starting from brainstorming and sketching to assembling components, testing, and refining their models. It was a fun and meaningful way to help them connect what they were doing to real-world engineering practices.
The session sparked curiosity, creativity, and technical thinking, offering a glimpse into how engineers work and inspiring them to think big. As a token of appreciation, each participant also received a solar car kit to assemble. It was truly heartening to see how capable and imaginative these young minds can be—our future engineers in the making.
I'm honoured to be part of the BlueNet team from Politeknik Mersing, one of the five winners of the Malaysia Island Waste Innovation Challenge organized by UNDP and the Ministry of Finance Malaysia. Our project focuses on a solar-powered IoT system that collects, shreds, and repurposes abandoned fishing nets into sustainable filament, helping to address marine waste issues. This grant has enabled us to contribute practical, tech-driven solutions for coastal sustainability. It’s been an inspiring journey working with passionate team members and seeing real impact through innovation in waste management. Thank you for the recognition and continued support!
Alhamdulillah, I had the opportunity to be involved in the Geran Komuniti Iskandar Puteri Rendah Karbon 5.0 alongside Dr. Nur Faizal Kasri for the “Pasar Malam Hijau Dikuasakan Power Inverter 2.0” project. Our initiative replaces conventional fuel-powered generators with a cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable power inverter system at night markets in Iskandar Puteri. This project not only reduces carbon emissions and noise pollution but also promotes the use of green technology among local vendors. I’m proud to support practical solutions that contribute to smarter, greener community infrastructure.
