Penang Science Cluster

Happy Wesak Day from Penang Science Cluster!

May the light of Wesak Day bring peace, happiness, and enlightenment to all.

Note: Please be informed that we will be closed on Sunday, 31st May 2026.

The journey has begun for Advanced MakerLab 2026 — bringing together students, mentors, and industry partners for months of creativity, innovation, and hands-on STEM learning through three competition tracks:
🔹 Instructables (completed !)
🔹AI: Machine Vision (AI:MV) (completed !)
🔹4x4

We started strong with the Instructables workshops, where more than 130 students from schools across Penang explored Project Management, Generative AI, and Electronics through immersive two-day sessions.

At the same time, 80 students from MakerLab schools also took part in the AI:MV workshop series held over two weeks, diving into AI fundamentals, HuskyLens AI camera applications, electronics, and project ideation.

Now, the real building begins.

Over the coming months, students will brainstorm ideas, prototype solutions, troubleshoot challenges, and turn their concepts into impactful projects. Their journey will lead to the Advanced MakerLab Competition this October, before heading to MakerFest at Penang International Science Fair 2026, where they’ll showcase their work to the public and industry leaders.

A huge thank you to our industry partners — Agilent, AMD, Analog Devices, B. Braun, Keysight, Lam Research, Micron, Motorola Solutions, NI (now part of Emerson), Plexus, and ViTrox — for supporting and inspiring the next generation of makers and innovators.

Big ideas start with curiosity, and we can’t wait to see what these students create.

Experience AI 2026 brought the future of AI learning to Terengganu.💡

A total of 99 primary and secondary school educators took part in foundational AI training focused on understanding how intelligent systems work and why digital safety matters. The session aimed to help teachers deliver Experience AI lessons with confidence while supporting students in using and understanding AI responsibly.

A huge thank you to all participating teachers and partners for being part of this journey in shaping a future where AI literacy becomes accessible to every student and educator.
