Welcome to the Global STEM Festival!

The Global STEM Festival is an opportunity for 3-17 year olds to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics activities at home and share your favourite project virtually with the global Jamat.

To submit your project, choose one of the categories listed below, create a video of your project, upload the video on YouTube and send it to us via the online submission form.

Each participant can submit one video only explaining and/or demonstrating their project. The video can be in any language and should not exceed 3 minutes.

All videos must be submitted via the online submission form by Friday 14th August.

The Festival is not a competition, but an opportunity to see the talent of the youth and young adults from around the world, and learn from each other.

The Global STEM Festival takes place from 5 July to 30 August 2020. The Festival Finale will be held on 29-30 August 2020.

WHAT IS STEM?

WHY STEM IS IMPORTANT?

As the Government of Western Australia states, it is predicted that in 15 years, more than 75% of new jobs will require STEM skills.

In fact, as we see a growing search for STEM-related jobs, an investment in these skills proves to be beneficial in a child's education as it provides them the necessary competencies to succeed professionally.

Throughout the years, STEM is becoming even more present in our lives as the world is evolving around Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, allowing us to tackle everyday challenges and improving our quality of life.​

In addition, the importance of STEM is amplified in our world as it has constantly been a key instrument in shrinking the gender and ethnic gaps at times found in these fields.

Besides the capacities achieved in these areas, following a STEM approach will allow children and young adults to develop skills such as creativity, problem solving, critical thinking, adaptability, technological skills, teamwork, communication and leadership, providing them the foundation to achieve their goals.

By participating in the Festival, children and young adults will be able to not only learn but also develop key skills for their future.

We also invite parents to engage in this Festival by accompanying their child throughout the whole journey - from finding inspiration; learning the key concepts needed for the project; developing, recording and submitting their project; and of course participating in the Festival Finale together.
