STEM icons credit parents with success

Crediting them with her win, the 15-year-old student from SMK Seri Bintang Utara, Kuala Lumpur, said they even drove her all the way to Penang to buy the parts needed for her robots and innovations when she could not find them in the Klang Valley.

She received the award for her participation in a host of global innovation competitions and conferences, such as the International Conference of Young Scientists. Like Yee Jia, fellow Student Icon Award winner Yiek Siew Hao, 17, said his parents were the driving force for him to enter STEM competitions that had won him trips to the United States and the United Kingdom.

He was part of Team Malaysia in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Challenge 2021, which won one of the top 10 prizes that included a trip to the Nasa headquarters in Washington D.C., United States. “Every single experience means a lot to me. These activities have given me an outstanding learning platform to broaden my knowledge and horizons beyond the syllabus, particularly in STEM,” the youngest of five siblings said, adding that STEM can improve the quality of life in Industry 5.0.
