MicroCamp AI & Robotics Sparks Interest in Future Skills at Sekolah Kebangsaan Gali, Raub
Raub, PAHANG, 13 November 2025 – MicroCamp AI & Robotics was successfully conducted at Sekolah Kebangsaan Gali, Raub, jointly organised by the Centre for Mathematical Sciences (Pusat Sains Matematik), Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) and Yayasan Tenaga Nasional (YTN).
The programme aimed to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics in a fun and practical way, while supporting teachers in integrating digital technology into teaching and learning. It also sought to nurture pupils’ interest in STEM and future-ready skills from a young age.
There were two main components in the programme. The first was “AI in Teaching and Learning”, attended by 18 school teachers from SK Gali. In this session, teachers were introduced to basic AI concepts and examples of how AI tools and applications can be used to enhance classroom lessons, encourage higher-order thinking skills, and support more interactive learning experiences.
The second component was the Robotics module for 57 Level 2 pupils, guided by 15 facilitators led by Wan Muhammad Afdhalluddin Bin Wan Ab Khalin. Pupils were given hands-on experience with simple robot sets, including basic building, movement control and simple tasks. Through these activities, they learned teamwork, problem-solving and creativity in a supportive and enjoyable environment.
The programme was led by lecturers from the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, UMPSA, namely Dr Nur Haizum binti Abd Rahman, Dr Nor Aida Zuraimi Md Noar, Dr Nor Azuana Ramli and Ts Dr Norazaliza Mohd Jamil. They were supported by Madam Siti Rohaida binti Mohamed and Mr Gayoth Verrmen.
