Live Interview by Astro Awani Channel 501 on 21 Nov 2011 (KL, Malaysia)

We are invited to a live show to show case Mighty Science and Mighty Math programs.
Through our innovative teaching methods, we hope to help students in Malaysia to improve on their UPSR Math & Science scores!

Prof Dr Mohd Sahar Yahya explaining to viewers ways to help students to improve their Science results, including using hands-on Science kits from Mighty Science.

Though I have my fair share of interviews with local media, this is my first time to be interviewed by a foreign media.

Why hands-on courses are beneficial for your child.

The Science of Learning

We receive questions frequently about student learning. One question that has been asked several times and in numerous different ways is, "Can you recommend a short list of priorities for learning?" Those items should always include the following:


• Hands-on, minds-on, heart’s-in learning experiences (experiential learning)

• Relevance to the student’s personal life whenever possible (it is relevance that makes "rigor" achievable)

• Active learning, which is how the brain learns best and remembers most effectively (engagement)

• Student-centered learning, which increases the probability of student achievement

• Technology, manipulatives, and simulations followed by student writings on those experiences

• Metacognitive learning where students analyze, reflect on, and discuss their thinking processes

• Differentiated learning, since students learn at different rates and by different means

• Diverse learning styles using multiple intelligences to address the different ways of knowing and different ways of learning

• Build from the concrete experience to the pictorial/representational to the abstract/symbolic

• Provide a physically and emotionally safe learning environment• Build upon past learning and prior knowledge (schemas)

• Learners must apply their learning in order to establish long-lasting neural connections

• Capitalize on a child’s interests and strengths for motivation (requiring “Emotional Intelligence”), while helping a child learn how to “manage” his/her “emerging talents” (a.k.a. "weaknesses") competencies, and skills.

Mighty Science Program

Why join the Mighty Science (MS) program:

• Fun, engaging, Fascination and Entertainment

(学生学习科学更有乐趣和吸引力)

Mighty Science (MS) programmes are fun and entertaining so they appeal to children of all ages. Children are easily fascinated with hands-on lessons, having fun while developing their motor skills, mental agility and ingenuity.

• Stimulate young minds

(激发学生的思维能力，加强学生的科学常识)

MS programmes are developed to stimulate young minds. One learns to think, learn new facts and science concepts, understands cause and effect besides problem-solving. The child will be entertained and looked forward to building different projects in the MS range of learning programmes.

• Enhance fine motor skills

(加强幼儿小肌肉的发展)

MS programmes develop and strengthen hand-eye coordination. This stimulates the psychomotor and sensory skills. It is good for a young child to develop these skills in preparation for a formal education. It is also good for older child to explore their creativity and imagination using their own hands to build different projects.

• Cultivate curiosity, creativity and imagination

(培养学生对科学的好奇心，创造力和想象力)
Through MS programmes, one learns to develop different potentials. The topics are designed not to only challenge the child but also induce the child’s learning curiosity. Then through imagination, comes innovation. As a result, the child develops well, both mentally and physically.

• Problem-solving skills

(加强学生对解决问题和应变得能力)

With MS programmes, a child learns to solve problems. This is because the child has to reason and explore ways to find the solutions, in order to complete the sets. The child becomes analytical and logical in thinking. These are not acquired in normal classroom learning. Hence exposure to different MS programmes allows children to equip themselves with this skill, which is essential in both the educational or career setting.

•Kick-start interest in Architecture, Science and Engineering

(激发学生对建筑，科学与工程系课程的兴趣)

Many MS programmes use Gigo learning sets and they are great education tools for the child to pick up Architectural, Scientific and Engineering facts. Gigo learning sets can kick-start your child’s interest in Architecture, Science and Engineering careers.

• Wide variety, vast appeal

（新奇又好玩得课程，适合所有年龄的学生） 

The variety of MS programmes are designed to appeal to the vast needs and levels of different age groups. MS programmes can cater to everyone from children, teenagers, to adults.

• Develop important life skills

(建立和培养学生重要生活技能)

MS programmes is an important part of a child's growth and development as they develop the child’s life-skills. The sets will help to develop thinking skills, memory, concentration and creativity.

• Positive learning attitude

(培养学生对学习的积极态度)

MS programmes stimulate the learner to develop a sense of wonder and positive attitude towards learning that lasts a lifetime. Isn't this how learning is supposed to be?

• Build self-esteem

(建立学生的自信心)

For children who are quiet and introvert, MS programmes can bring about positive self-esteem. This is achieved through completion of each project, and the satisfaction that comes with each completion, which challenges the child in different aspects of mental and physical skills. Thus, confidence of the child is built up, and will enable the child to face life’s obstacles with a sense of challenge and a "can-do" attitude.
