A ray of hope, Shares the joy

THE PROBLEM

“Most of the education systems in the world shifted to a full online learning method, either conducted in a synchronous or asynchronous method. Thus, making the traditional teaching and learning methods were no longer an option of learning method."

It is needless to say that the online learning method is a very interactive method and an excellent alternative to traditional learning in the current pandemic. However, certain subjects, such as Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, involved STEAM Education, which requires hands-on experience to enhance students' understanding of topics. The hands-on experience here refers to conducting experiments that students cannot experience in online teaching. STEAM Education mentioned here is the short form of “Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics” Education. STEAM Education is vital because English proficiency and STEAM knowledge are two essential employability factors in the 21st century

Therefore, here are several significant issues that require prompt attention of the Malaysian Education System: 

• Students' low English proficiency levels due to the quality of national English language education. 
• Students' subpar performance in applying science and mathematics knowledge. 
• Lack of technological knowledge and awareness among Malaysian students. 

THE SOLUTION

Speak Up 8.0 project conducted by AIESEC in UTAR aims to improve English effective communication skills and deliver Science knowledge of STEAM to B40 students. The objective of this crowdfunding is to: Funding on Speak Up to deliver quality education to the B40 community focusing on STEAM education (eg. soap kits). Connect with the community on giving support towards B40 students on their STEAM education development. To increase the awareness of students' educational development. We are intending to spark students' interest in Chemistry, we plan to provide a basic understanding of Form 5 Chemistry Chapter 5.1 Soap and Detergent for students while letting students experience the process of soap making. Hence, we plan to provide soap kits related to STEAM education for 40 beneficiaries from B40 students aged 15-17 years old in Malaysia. For every RM50 donated, 1 soap kit is provided. We aim to provide a minimum of 1 soap kit to each beneficiary. Donors that contributed RM20 or more are entitled to customize words to the B40 students, and we will send your kind words in e-postcards and the soap kits to them. Hence, each donation creates 2 layers of impact: education and emotional impact. Speak Up project also collaborates closely with NGOs, local youth groups, social enterprises, and local secondary schools to ensure each of the supplies is channeled to the students in need.

THE IMPACT

40 beneficiaries will receive 1 soap kit each. Your donation will help in enhancing the STEAM knowledge of secondary students in Malaysia. We hope that students in Malaysia will have quality education, and no one should be left out of this. 
 
In addition, we believe that all of you that donated will be able to achieve your spiritual satisfaction by sending your customized e-postcards to the beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the students will be empowered and inspired by your kind words. If you would like us to approach you for e-postcard customization, kindly leave your contact details in the donation message.

Thank you for making the impact happens.
