Our Corporate Partners
With full sponsorship from the AIA Foundation, we organized the “AIA STEM Buddies Program 2023” for 540 students from 10 primary schools. This program aims to aid post-pandemic school recovery by enhancing physical learning, and outdoor education, and training primary students as “STEM Buddies” knowledgeable about global warming and energy transition. Through mobile classrooms and hands-on workshops, students create projects shared on SOLAB, fostering family trust and supporting holistic well-being. Thanks to AIA Foundation sponsorship, all schools can offer free participation. Join us in promoting “energy transition” to primary students through engaging learning experiences.
The project begins with mobile STEM classrooms from July to August, followed by STEM workshops in September to October. The final part, held from November to December, involves a Parent-Child SOLAB STEM project and Online Exhibition, enhancing projects from Part 2. A total of 540 STEM projects across the three topics will be showcased online.
