Sparking STEM interest in schools


Nurturing young minds: e-KLESF 2021 offered more than 30 free webinars, quizzes, competitions, workshops and activities.

IT is important to spark science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) interest among young children so that they are keen on these subjects and will later on pick these fields as their careers.

Speaking at the Virtual Kuala Lumpur Engineering Science Fair 2021 (e-KLESF 2021), Asean Academy of Engineering and Technology (AAET) president Emeritus Prof Tan Sri Datuk Dr Chuah Hean Teik said the buzzwords nowadays are industrial revolution, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, blockchain, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, Covid-19, vaccination, and healthcare, all of which require a lot of STEM knowledge workers, whether they are doctors, engineers, scientists, technologists, or mathematicians.
