FOR SCHOOL EDUCATORS

Universiti Sains Malaysia’s School of Physics STEM Outreach programme offers practical, hands-on training for teachers — live demos, simple simulations, and ready-to-use classroom activities that make STEM easy to bring to your students.

Enriching STEM Education Through Physics

The USM School of Physics is offering Malaysian high school math, science, physics, and computer science teachers exciting hands-on physics workshops right here on our Penang campus. Teachers get to do cool physics experiments and real research! This programme helps teachers bring awesome physics ideas back to their classrooms. This way, students can discover how fun physics can be and maybe even think about becoming scientists, engineers, or working in other exciting STEM jobs in the future.

Program Structure

Our program offers two exciting tracks for educators! Teachers learn practical ways to bring both experimental physics and computational tools into their classrooms, making STEM education more exciting and relevant for students.

Track 1

Laboratory Physics

Get hands-on experience with cool equipment like the Michelson interferometer, microcontrollers, STEM kits, and amazing experiments with sound waves and light. Plus, learn digital physics simulations that will wow your students.

Track 2

Computational Skills for Physical Science

Master the digital tools that modern scientists use every day. Teachers can learn to extract data from graphs, use Excel with AI assistance, program in MATLAB and Python, and analyze scientific data like a pro for university and future careers.

Let’s Grow Your Classroom Impact!

Have questions? We’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out to the USM School of Physics STEM Outreach team for more information.

If you’re interested in bringing this professional development programme to your school or district, simply get in touch with us. We recommend contacting us at least 60 days in advance so we can prepare the laboratory sessions and tailor the workshop to best support your teachers and students.

We look forward to working together to inspire the next generation of physicists.
