Enhance STEM education among B40 students
Enhance STEM education among B40 students
Background
PPR Seri Semarak is a government initiative to help with the resettlement of homeless and low-income groups (B40). The PPR center provides long-term accommodation and housing needs to the underprivileged. Poverty takes away the chance for students to get the best education experience possible. According to an article by Teach For Malaysia, students who live in poverty cannot afford the extra academic help we can get from reference books and tuition classes, which further widens the gap between them and students who come from more financially-able backgrounds.
To overcome the limited education chances, we feel a great responsibility to offer education beyond the classroom. We aim to provide students ages 9 - 15 years old with knowledge in Science and Technology. There are two modules prepared which are ‘Magic in Science Module’ and ‘Coding for Kids Module’ which focuses on conducting science experiments and coding games, animations, and stories. As we are targeting different group ages, our learning approach is by using creative, engaging, and interactive learning experiences to cater to all different learners.
