SHAH ALAM – Sekolah Tinta gathered its students for the annual exhibition which is its first and biggest yet, after the pandemic wave hits. Over these few months, the students and teachers had been actively analysing the intersection between Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S.T.E.M) subjects and the study of humanity in the past. 

Sekolah Tinta, established in 2017 is a private school with national curricular for primary and secondary level education. Setting itself apart from other schools, Sekolah Tinta injects four disciplines of S.T.E.M at its core. The students have been exposed with project-based learning, inquiry-driven approach and real-life applications, reflected in the exhibition. 

The exhibition, called S.T.E.M Across Exhibition, is a platform for students of Sekolah Tinta to present their learning outcomes in uncovering the S.T.E.M components that have been used since back in the day. As it is open to the public, all the crowds grabbed the chance to glimpse the hidden S.T.E.M in famous national landmarks and cultural assets of each state in Malaysia.

“It is the first time we combine the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S.T.E.M) subjects into something contrasting, which is history. We love to see the hard work of these students come to life and we are able to see their excitement and blossoming passion towards S.T.E.M,” said Dr. Haliza Idris, the Principal of Sekolah Tinta.

She added, “Through this learning process, the students learn to apply their knowledge and upskill themselves by combining different disciplines, not just one. This skill is critical in preparing them for future workforces towards Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), as well as surviving the real life challenges when they finish school.”

Launched by Pn. Yuhana Yaacob, the Senior Principal Assistant Director at Private Education Division of Selangor Education Department (JPNS), the school is expected to become an exemplary school to other private schools with national curriculum in the country. In order to expand the students’ knowledge, this kind of exhibition is a need.

Each exhibit was made out of recyclable wastes, woven with new technology and artistic creativity. Among the states exhibited were Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, Pahang, Kedah, Terengganu, Kelantan, Pulau Pinang, Melaka, Perak, Negeri Sembilan, Sabah and Sarawak. Esteemed organisations such as Petrosains, Exploria, Pandai app and Mommy Happy were also present as its official exhibition partners.

The school celebrates ideas, technology and innovation that are inspired by the core disciplines of S.T.E.M which includes Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, alongside the human values to be applied in real life.

This effort is part of the school initiative in ensuring that our students, even though are not able to attend school, find joy and excitement in sports. He further adds “Festival Sukan Norma Baharu has seen its implementation for the second year running. Last year, with the obstacles and limited resources at our disposal, the school developed activities hoping to encourage students and the school community to be active in sports.” 

In line with the Olympic values of balanced development of body, will and mind. Sekolah Tinta fully supports the initiative by incorporating it in our school program, in this case, active participation in sports. Even if we may not be together, we manage to create and share the same moment, and that is something that we will never forget.
