Penang Science Cluster

We’ve completed nine Teacher Training sessions with dedicated RBT and ASK teachers from primary and secondary schools!

Working alongside Sektor Sumber dan Teknologi Pendidikan, Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Kedah (JPNK), Penang Science Cluster delivered hands-on training for 355 teachers, exploring programming with micro:bit and Raspberry Pi, alongside 3D design and printing.

Returning to their schools with fresh knowledge, these educators are ready to spark curiosity and create meaningful STEM learning experiences for their students.

Three more sessions are coming soon to the Baling, Kuala Muda, and Yan districts, and we extend our sincere gratitude to the participating teachers and to Stellantis for their vital support in making this program possible.

The second Train-the-Trainer (TTT) session for Advanced MakerLab 2026 has officially concluded — this time for the Instructables track!

Mentors from various industries spent the day in a hands-on workshop, strengthening their understanding of electronics and coding, and even getting the chance to build prototypes based on student-selected Instructables projects. It was as practical (and fun) as it sounds.

We were also joined by newly onboarded mentors from Agilent, who took part in a short catch-up session for Project 4x4. We shared the competition overview, key guidelines, and early ideas of what students will be challenged with at PISF 2026.

With both sessions wrapped up, our mentors are now geared up and ready to support students through a five-month journey of building, experimenting, and problem-solving — all the way to the Advanced MakerLab Competition this October and the showcase at Penang International Science Fair 2026 this November.

Looking forward to what’s coming next. Let’s build something meaningful together!
