AMD Penang Helps Nurture Young Minds in Science and Technology


More than 50 primary and secondary schools in Penang competed in the recent Science and Technology Carnival 2007 co-sponsored by AMD Penang. Students in the biannual event competed in science and engineering innovation under the categories of mathematics, science, engineering and computer science. Projects and activities included a solar-powered car race, a rocket launching exercise, cooking with nature’s tools and the Eureka energy-efficient beach house."This program is capable of discovering the talents of students in various aspects, such as in scientific research and inventions and the systematic reporting of their findings," said Dato'

Dr. Toh Kin Woon, Penang Education Committee chairman.The carnival also featured exhibitions, information booths and hands-on activities from government agencies and other private sector organizations. University Science Malaysia (USM) showcased exhibits on Astronomy while groups National Science Centre, Sykt F1 In School and Jabatan Alam Sekitar Pulau Pinang supported to make the program a success.Because the nation seeks to raise the capacity for knowledge and innovation while nurturing young minds, AMD Penang has actively supported this event since its introduction in 1990.
