Star Program: STEM Day
As part of the IEEE ISSATSo WIE STAR Program , in collaboration with the SIGHT and WIE Chapters, we hosted an interactive Escape Room event at Bouhsina Scouts Group Sousse. The activity introduced students to STEM fields through engaging, hands-on challenges in themed rooms representing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
The event began with a general presentation introducing the STEM fields and their significance. Students were then divided into five groups of six and assigned to themed rooms, each focusing on one STEM field:
-
Room 1: Science – The Science of Space
Students uncovered the secrets of space through:- A warm-up video featuring a solar system song and storytelling about astronauts.
- Hands-on science experiments that explored key space concepts.
- A knowledge quiz to test and reinforce their understanding.
-
Room 2: Technology – Exploring Virtual Reality (VR)
Students dived into the world of VR with activities including:-
we showed them future careers using vr technologies
- Immersive experiences using a VR headset, followed by a "Space Detective" game where they solved mysteries using 360° video clues.
-
-
Room 3: Engineering – Robotics and Design Thinking
Students engaged in engineering fundamentals, learning about:- Electrical, software, civil, and mechanical engineering fields.
- Building a "Line Follower Robot," introducing robotics principles through practical assembly and testing.
-
Room 4: Mathematics – Mental Agility Games
This room highlighted the beauty of mathematical problem-solving with:- Sudoku principles and puzzles.
- Mental calculation challenges to foster logical thinking and precision.
Each room selected a winner based on creativity, problem-solving, and participation. The winners advanced to a final challenge, where they presented their vision of Tunisia in 2056, focusing on how STEM can address future challenges.
The day successfully blended learning and fun, providing a platform for creativity, teamwork, and knowledge-sharing. Feedback highlighted the program's effectiveness in making STEM approachable and exciting for students.
