Students Showcase Innovation Ahead of National STEAM in Action Challenge
The Ministry of Education, Skills, Youth and Information (MoESYI) will host the STEAM in Action Challenge on Thursday, January 29, 2026, under the theme “Creating Solutions, Driving Change.” This exciting initiative encourages students to apply structured problem solving through methodologies such as the Design Thinking Process and the Engineering Design Process to tackle real world challenges.
The challenge focuses on six key areas:
- Renewable Energy Solutions
- Climate Solutions
- Robotics and Automation
- Health Innovations
- Agriculture and Food Security
- Environmental Advocacy through the Arts
Mini STEAM Competition
In preparation for the national event, a mini STEAM competition was hosted featuring students from First, Third, and Fourth Form. Each form worked within a specific focus area:
- First Form: Environmental Advocacy through the Arts
- Third Form: Health Innovations (Mental Wellness)
- Fourth Form: Renewable Energy
Pre Judging Session Highlights
On Friday, January 23, 2026, students participated in a pre judging session where they pitched their projects. The session provided an opportunity to review student work, engage briefly with participants, and offer evaluative feedback aligned with STEAM principles. It also served as the basis for selecting the strongest projects to advance to the national competition.
Congratulations to the Winning Classes
- First Form: 105
- Third Form: 306
- Fourth Form: 401
We applaud all participants for their creativity, effort, and commitment to developing solutions that matter.
