The Macau Base for Primary & Secondary STEM Education, established by the University of Macau (UM), has launched an On-the-Go Project, which aims to popularise science and technology in local secondary and primary schools with the aid of compact demonstration kits, the public tertiary education institution said in a statement yesterday.
According to the statement, the UM STEM Car, a special vehicle dedicated to this purpose, has so far visited seven local schools, attracting more than 500 teachers and students.
During the tours, professors Tam Kam Weng, U Leong Hou and Lam Chi Chiu from the Faculty of Science and Technology, Prof Pan Hui from the Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering, and Dr Pey-Tee Oon from the Faculty of Education, along with their postgraduate students, presented the four STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) kits, namely the Novel STEM Experimental Kit, the Quadrotor, the Hovercraft, and the 3D Scanner, to the students and explained relevant theories and their applications in daily life, the statement pointed out.
