Quantum Race.

Quantum Race is one of three main events which will be held during the Empowering Interest in Physics programme. Our objective is to introduce the students towards the application of Physics theories in everyday life. We also aim to encourage the students to interact within groups and to build teamwork and cooperation skills amongst them.

Seven activities will be held simultaneously in two Physics laboratories in Sekolah Menegah Teknik Kuala Lumpur (SMTKL). The first one, αβγ, involves solving a puzzle in the form of equations given by the facilitators. Next, Analysing requires the participants to watch two videos of a car moving at high speeds. They must find the speed of the car by analysing the distance and time covered in the video.

Centre of gravity have the participants build a structure from lidi sticks, balloons and plasticine which must be structurally sound. The structure must be as big as possible and must be able to stand on a bottle of water. Tic Tac Toe involves the participants to play a rousing game of Tic Tac Toe using ping pong balls, where the grid are nine cups filled with water.

Quiz Whizz is a simple trivia style game where the questions are related to Physics and important figures within the field throughout history. Egg Parachute has the participants to build a working parachute so that an egg can land safely from the air without cracking. Lastly, Surface Tension has the students float as many paper clips on water as fast as they can within the time limit.


Physics Showtime!

Physics Showtime! is one of three main events which will be held during the Empowering Interest in Physics programme. Our objective is to inform the students about the various fields and concepts of Physics, and show them that Physics is easy to understand.

Six activities will be held simultaneously in the media room in Sekolah Menegah Teknik Kuala Lumpur (SMTKL). Demonstrations, videos and experiments will be done by our facilitators, with a quiz and a Q&A session in the end to wrap up and make sure the participants are able to fully understand what we are trying to convey. Theories and concepts involved are as follows:

  • Newtonian Physics.
  • Electricity and Electromagnetism.
  • Optics and Light.
  • Heat.
  • Pressure and Fluid.
  • Waves and Vibrations.

Glory of the Physicists.

Glory of the Physicists is one of three main events which will be held during the Empowering Interest in Physics programme. Our objective is to introduce the students to historical figures and their contributions in Physics. The participants are grouped and given articles and small excerpts of the given figures and must give a full presentation in the front. The figures are as follows:


  • Albert Einstein.
  • Isaac Newton.
  • Galileo Galilei.
  • Blaise Pascal.
  • Archimedes of Syracuse.
  • Thomas Edison.
  • Michael Faraday.

"Secara peribadinya, program bersama para pelajar ini merupakan satu program yang telah membuka peluang kepada para mahasiswa untuk menghapuskan prejudis dan sekaligus menambahkan minat kepada para pelajar terhadap subjek Fizik." Pada 13-15 April 2018, kumpulan “The Next Einstein” telah mengadakan satu projek “Empowering Interest in Physics” untuk Jalinan Masyarakat di Sekolah Menengah Teknik Kuala Lumpur yang terletak di Kuala Lumpur. Peserta program ini kebanyakkannya terdiri daripada pelajar tingkatan 4 yang menyertainya secara sukarela. Pertama sekali saya ingin memanjat kesyukuran yang tidak terhingga ke hadrat Ilahi kerana saya telah diberi peluang untuk melibatkan diri secara lansung dalam menjayakan Projek Jalinan Masyarakat ini. Saya telah diberikan tanggungjawab oleh pengarah projek untuk menjadi ahli jawatankuasa bagi unit Multimedia dan Teknikal. Alhamdulillah setelah mendapat sedikit bimbingan daripada Dr. Azzuliani yang merupakan penasihat bagi subjek...

"Saya berharap program seperti ini dapat dijalankan lagi kerana program ini memupuk semangat kerjasama dalam diri pelajar di samping dapat mendedahkan pelajar sekolah tentang menariknya subjek Fizik."   Program yang saya terlibat adalah program Empowering Interest in Physics . Program ini adalah untuk menarik minat pelajar sekolah agar meminati Fizik bukan semata-mata kerana peperiksaan tetapi untuk diaplikasikan dalam kehidupan seharian. Sebelum program ini berlangsung, saya telah dilantik untuk menjadi setiausaha program bagi menyiapkan kertas kerja. Sepanjang proses saya menyiapkan kertas kerja, saya banyak dibantu oleh rakan-rakan dalam memperoleh maklumat berkaitan program. Selain itu, penyelaras saya juga banyak membantu saya dan rakan-rakan dalam memastikan program kami berjalan lancar. Di samping itu, sepanjang proses saya menyiapkan kertas kerja ini, banyak perkara yang saya telah dipelajari. Antaranya ialah saya dapat memupuk sifat tidak berputus asa d...
