All You Need for STEM Olympiad
Technology and Engineering, which stand for the two letters of STEM, are new categories added to the STEM Olympiad this year. These categories are gradually making their way into the school curriculum as course offerings. Until today, they have mostly been taught through coding, robotics courses, or club activities. It is no longer possible to keep up with the advancements in technology and the digital world today. Additionally, accessing information through the internet happens within seconds. Furthermore, the infrastructure, fundamental elements, and applications of technological developments in social media and digital platforms are being presented or published in ways that will be of interest to enthusiasts. The aim of this category is to stimulate the interest of students from 6th to 11th grade in the fields of technology and engineering and to ensure that they acquire knowledge in certain fundamental topics.
