  "Beyond the Lab: Making Sense of Our World"

  Unveiling the science behind every moment,  from the lab to your life.  Science is not confined to labs or textbooks but is woven into the world around us and is a gateway to understanding our daily experiences. GSTA invites discussions on practical science, community impact, and connecting theory with real-world challenges.

  STRAND I: Science in Schools and Communities

  Integrating the Arts with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEAM) alongside Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we understand and apply science in context. These sessions highlight creative problem solving, design thinking, and the ethical use of AI technologies. Participants will discover how STEAM and AI together foster innovation, inspire curiosity, and prepare learners for an evolving world.
