Assalamualaikum and hello readers 😊 The Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, UTeM was really honored to welcome a group of high school students and teachers here recently under "The Ladybug Workshop Program". We were the official hosts together with Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Melaka and RoboForce Enterprise (a robotics-based company in Melaka). More than 20 schools turned up and the auditorium was packed and lively with the presence of the excited participants.

Assalamualaikum and hello readers   Two weeks ago, I got a Whatsapp text from one of my colleagues from the Malaysia Robotics & Automation Society (MyRAS): Assoc. Prof. Dr. Azizi Abdul Rahman. He invited me to be his comrade during a podcast and video interview organized by The Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii). The topic will revolve around robotics education in Malaysia.   I definitely said "Yes!" to that invitation. Alhamdulillah, the online recording went smoothly using Zoom.   On the 27th September 2021, the podcast and YouTube video were officially posted online by MARii.   Thank you so much to MARii and to our lovely host: Miss Azaria Tagaya for having us on-board. I truly hope that we have answered the questions well without being too technical or boring to listeners :)   I hope this can be counted as a small step towards positive advocation on how enjoyable and beneficial robotics education is to our young g...
