It is guaranteed to enlighten the younger generations about the importance of a sustainable mobility, and how we can accomplish it,” she added.
Chief Executive Officer of Petrosains Sdn Bhd Encik Ezarisma Azni Mohamad said, “Advances in energy breakthroughs and Internet of Things (IoT), among others, are the way forward towards finding sustainable solutions to the way we live and work, in harmony with nature and its resources.
Any disruption of this equilibrium leads to environment and societal challenges that directly affects health and well-being, as well as economic sustainability.
The Virtual STEM Series aligns to the very heart of what we do at Petrosains – to inspire experiential learning in science and technology among our young people, as part of our nation-building efforts towards enabling a future workforce that can establish solutions towards better and safer living standards.
In this regard, the Virtual STEM Series is specially curated to develop High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) to nurture critical and creative thinking skills among students,” he concluded.
The Vision of an Electric Future programme will premier with an expert talk session on the vision of an electric future, covering future technology, efforts in combating climate change and sustainable living. An onboarding session to Petrosains e-Design Thinking Process (PeDTP) which is specifically designed for this topic will follow.
The second part of the series, Sustainable Mobility for Tomorrow, will also entail a sharing session by a panel of experts, followed by the Petrosains e-Design Thinking Process (PeDTP) on-boarding session.
Participants will then be required to produce a lean/tangible prototype and make a pitch in the Ideas Presentation Challenge.
