Introduction to Topic

Here, our volunteer facilitators explain the theory behind the topic to the participants. Usually will include diagrams, videos or simulations as visual aids.

Practical Portion

Then, our facilitators will conduct a related practical (experiments, simulations, workshops, etc.) as the hands-on portion of the session. This helps our participants grow a deeper interest and understanding of topic in real life application.

Wrap Up

Finally, this time is taken for a debrief, or in the case of STEM X Sports, playing the mini game of their respective sports/ going outside to play. In the last session, a feedback form is sent out for us to collect constructive feedback for future sessions.
