Invited by the National STEM Association, STEM Unisel attracted strong participation at the National STEM Expo 2026 at KL Gateway Mall through an engaging forensic science showcase that combined hands-on learning with an exciting crime-solving experience. Visitors explored real investigative techniques such as blood typing, fingerprint analysis, and evidence examination at the STEM Forensic Hands-On Activity, while the CSI Crime Solving Competition challenged teams to decode clues, solve mathematical riddles, and use logical reasoning to identify a suspect in a simulated case.

As a strategic partner of the expo, STEM Unisel continues its commitment to promoting STEM awareness through interactive and meaningful learning experiences. The programme successfully sparked curiosity and encouraged critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving among participants, reinforcing the importance of STEM education in developing future innovators and analytical thinkers. The full results and rankings for the CSI Crime Solving Competition can be found below.

STEM Unisel participated in the Selangor Book Fair at Shah Alam Convention Centre on December 9 and December 10. The event was a collaboration with the Malaysia Board on Books for Young People (MBBY).

There were 30 participants on day 1 and 34 participants on day 2. We are also grateful to their teachers from SRI Integrasi Al Hira' and Sekolah Integrasi As Syakirin Section 13 for sending them off, thus making this a momentous event.

Also, a big thanks to the facilitators involved for explaining what our STEM Query Module was all about at the beginning of the event. 

Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) and National STEM Association (NSA) had organised the STEM Forensic program in collaboration with STEM Unisel and Universiti Selangor (Unisel).
