I’m Mohd Zahid Baharom, one of the Certified International STEM Trainers under Be STEM Ready organization. I’ve been well-trained and equipped with STEM-ready skills, and I’ve broadened my horizons in developing a STEM mindset and character in perceiving today’s world.
Making a moving robot has been a childhood dream and passion of mine. Because my educational background was primarily in science, I had no prior experience with the making of a moving robot. This course has definitely taught me a variety of maker skill sets, including proper soldering techniques, electrics, and electronics. The most exciting aspect of this course is that we get to decorate our robot with recycled materials (such as plastic bottles, glass, metal cans, and paper). This has broadened my knowledge and perspectives, as well as demonstrated that anything is possible.
I’d like to express my gratitude to all master trainers for their dedication and hard work in educating and advocating for STEM/STEAM education in Malaysia. I encourage our generation to take this certificate and be well-equipped with 21st-century making skills in parallel with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0). I wish nothing but the best for this organization, and I am proud to be among its Certified STEM Trainers.
