STEAM & Career Day 2025

The School of Physics, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) was invited to participate in the STEAM & Career Day 2025 organized by SMK Bukit Gambir, Pulau Pinang. The event was held on Wednesday, 30 April 2025, from 8.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. at the school’s designated exhibition classrooms, with the objective of exposing students to various educational and career pathways in the STEAM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics).

In support of this initiative, a total of 13 staff members from the School of Physics participated in this outreach activity. Our exhibition booth showcased various physics-related displays and interactive demonstrations that enabled students to better understand fundamental physics principles through an engaging and hands-on approach.

 Throughout the event, our booth received an enthusiastic response from both students and teachers. Many students expressed genuine curiosity and asked insightful questions. The staff also took the opportunity to promote the undergraduate programs offered at the School of Physics, USM.

 The School of Physics considers this outreach activity highly valuable in fostering early interest in scientific education and in strengthening the School’s relationship with the local education community. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to SMK Bukit Gambir for the kind invitation and warm hospitality. We also wish to thank all participating staff for their dedication in making this event a success. This collaborative effort exemplifies our shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of scientists and promoting the advancement of physics education in Malaysia.
