Starting back in 2021, following a collaboration between 9ijakids, STEAM METS, and Edufun Technik Hub, the event was launched as a virtual STEAM Festival for children between the ages of 7 and 13.
This year’s event will be under the theme “STEAM: From Classroom to the Real World” and aims to spark children’s love for STEAM and enlighten parents about opportunities in STEAM.
The one-day event programme will feature seasoned speakers; career talks; workshops; fun activities; games; and interactive science learning opportunities.
