This hands-on science exhibition encourages inquiry-based learning, practical experimentation, scientific inquiry, and collaborative problem-solving across core STEM disciplines.
About the Exhibition
The Regional Inter-School Science & Innovation Expo is organized to inspire scientific curiosity and bridge the divide between theoretical textbook concepts and real-world practical applications. It provides a dynamic, collaborative platform where primary and secondary students present working prototypes, conduct live experiments, and exchange creative hypotheses with peers, educators, and academic mentors.
