Science week targets rural participation
National Science Week (MSN) is reaching out to students in rural and remote areas through the MSN carnival, Kembara Sains Borneo and Rehlah Sains programmes. Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang said the programme aimed to spark students' interest in science and technology, particularly among those with limited access to these fields. 'Thirty rural schools in Sabah and Sarawak have been selected for this initiative, which is expected to benefit around 30,000 students,' he said after launching National Science Week 2025 in Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. In his speech, Chang said MSN, now in its eighth edition, reflected the ministry's commitment to embedding science, technology and innovation into the daily lives of all Malaysians. He added that the initiative would be extended to grassroots communities through the implementation of on-ground programmes throughout Malaysia, as reported by Bernama. Themed 'Democratising Science, Humanising Technology, Mainstreaming Innovation', MSN 2025 emphasises inclusive participation in advancing scientific innovation in step with rapid technological progress, and runs until the end of the year.

"Kembara Sains Borneo" Brings PSN Closer To Schools In Sabah, Sarawak
KUCHING, May 5 (Bernama) -- The National Science Centre (PSN) will deploy its exhibition bus to 30 selected locations across Sabah and Sarawak as part of the 'Kembara Sains Borneo (KSB)' programme in conjunction with the 2025 National Science Week. PSN director Mohammad Fuad Rahman said the exhibition bus, known as PSN Trooperz On The Move, is equipped with 20 interactive exhibition spaces specially designed to spark students' interest in science. "This initiative provides an opportunity for students who may not have the chance to visit the National Science Centre in the capital to experience it firsthand through the mobile exhibition brought directly to their location," he told reporters after the launch of the 2025 National Science Week programme here last night. He said the main focus of KSB is to bring students in remote and rural areas closer to the National Science Centre. "The selection of schools for the programme includes those in urban, rural, and interior areas, while participating students will range from primary to secondary school levels. 'For this KSB, we are not moving alone. We are collaborating with strategic partners, namely the National Planetarium, Akademik Sains Malaysia, Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia, and Petrosains,' he added. He said KSB does not solely focus on students but also engages Science and Mathematics teachers through dedicated training programmes designed to enhance teaching skills and knowledge. According to a statement from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), two flagship outreach programmes, the Kembara Sains Borneo dan Rehlah Sains, will be key highlights under the 2025 National Science Week initiative. These initiatives are part of MOSTI's strategic efforts to ensure the benefits of making science, technology, and innovation (STI) a culture reach all layers of society, including rural, suburban, and remote communities.
