SUCCESS HIGHLIGHTS
STEM Synergy 2024
STEM Synergy 2024 was a four-day, three-night programme held from 23 to 25 May 2024 at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). The initiative was a continuation of the successful collaboration between PETRONAS Refinery and Petrochemical Corporation Sdn Bhd (PRPC) and UTP under the MPU4 umbrella, which had previously produced impactful community outreach projects. Encouraged by the success of the earlier project, PRPC proposed a university-level collaboration to further strengthen STEM education and engagement.
The main objectives of this programme were to provide students with opportunities to participate in active learning activities both inside and outside the classroom, and to stimulate their interest in STEM by exposing them to the dynamics of tertiary education and campus life. Through this initiative, students were able to gain meaningful experiences that broadened their perspective on STEM learning.
The program also brought significant benefits to both UTP and PRPC. It reinforced their collaborative effort in advancing community outreach, strengthened UTP–PETRONAS branding, and encouraged STEM enculturation among the beneficiaries. Ultimately, it inspired students to explore future pathways in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
