On February 5, 2024, a community service program was held at SK Sega in Rantau, Negeri Sembilan, organized by the Postgraduate Student Society, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (PGSS-FKM), and the IJN-UTM Cardiovascular Engineering Centre (IJN-UTM CEC) and led by Prof. Dr. Kahar Osman, the event aimed to share science and technology knowledge with primary school students and provide them with technical hands-on experience.

The program was attended by 50 primary school students and almost 30 parents, who participated in various educational activities. The event featured demonstrations and interactive sessions on drone technology, 3D printing technology, and robotic technology. Additionally, a health screening monitoring activity was conducted, emphasizing the practical applications of technology in everyday life.

The students were particularly enthusiastic about the drone technology demonstration, which included hands-on opportunities to operate drones and understand their mechanics. The 3D printing session allowed them to see the process of creating three-dimensional objects from digital designs, sparking their interest in innovative manufacturing techniques. The robotics segment introduced them to the basics of programming and robotics, showcasing the potential of automation and artificial intelligence.

Parents played a crucial role in the event, actively observing the activities and encouraging their children to explore new areas of interest. The health screening monitoring activity provided valuable insights into how technology can monitor and improve health, further highlighting the importance of science and technology in enhancing quality of life.

Overall, the community service program at SK Sega was a great success. It cultivated the young participants’ love for science and technology and provided them with memorable, hands-on learning experiences. The collaboration between PGSS-FKM and IJN-UTM CEC demonstrated a solid commitment to community engagement and education, inspiring the next generation of innovators and thinkers.
