The activity introduced students to STEM fields through engaging\, hands-on challenges in themed rooms repre senting Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics.\nThe event b egan with a general presentation introducing the STEM fields and their sig nificance. Students were then divided into five groups of six and assigned to themed rooms\, each focusing on one STEM field:\n\n-\nRoom 1: Science – The Science of Space\nStudents uncovered the secrets of space through: \n\n- A warm-up video featuring a solar system song and storytelling about astronauts.\n- Hands-on science experiments that explored key space conce pts.\n- A knowledge quiz to test and reinforce their understanding.\n\n-\n Room 2: Technology – Exploring Virtual Reality (VR)\nStudents dived into the world of VR with activities including:\n\n-\n\nwe showed them future careers using vr technologies\n\n- Immersive experiences using a VR headse t\, followed by a "Space Detective" game where they solved mysteries using 360° video clues.\n\n-\nRoom 3: Engineering – Robotics and Design Thin king\nStudents engaged in engineering fundamentals\, learning about:\n\n- Electrical\, software\, civil\, and mechanical engineering fields.\n- Buil ding a "Line Follower Robot\," introducing robotics principles through pra ctical assembly and testing.\n\n-\nRoom 4: Mathematics – Mental Agility Games\nThis room highlighted the beauty of mathematical problem-solving wi th:\n\n- Sudoku principles and puzzles.\n- Mental calculation challenges t o foster logical thinking and precision.\n\nEach room selected a winner ba sed on creativity\, problem-solving\, and participation. The winners advan ced to a final challenge\, where they presented their vision of Tunisia in 2056\, focusing on how STEM can address future challenges.\n\nThe day suc cessfully blended learning and fun\, providing a platform for creativity\, teamwork\, and knowledge-sharing.
