1. | The "Science Avenger" initiative, launched by the Faculty of Science and Resource Technology (FRST, UNIMAS) on 30th November 2022, aims to inspire and empower upper secondary school students in Sarawak to pursue STEM fields and prepare for the digital economy and sustainable development. The project, led by Prof Dr Ramlah Zainuddin and Assoc Prof Dr Devagi Kanakaraju, involved 30 students and 6 teachers from schools in the Lundu area, who engaged in hands-on learning at the Real Living Lab UNIMAS. Students participated in five specialized modules (Biotechnology, Chemistry, Aquatic Science, Zoology, and Plants), using "Lab in a Box" kits to bring theoretical concepts to life. The program emphasized Problem-Oriented Project Based Learning (POPBL), equipping students with practical skills and fostering collaboration. At the end of the training, students earned the title of “Science Avenger”, ready to inspire others and contribute to the future of science education. | |||||||||||||
