STEM x Sustainable Development Goals (STEM x SDGs)

Science Applications - Humanity Life - For A Better Future To The World

STEM x SDGs, an educational organization, and non-governmental organization (NGO) to join hands with countries around the world to complete the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The combination of advanced scientific and technological achievements, will be a great support for many countries around the world to find effective solutions, with the ultimate goal of completing the 2030 Agenda.

Target group

The biggest change will be to stimulate creative thinking, scientific thinking and most importantly, work and community service skills, which is what students need to become talented people and capable of contributing to society, I want to see the love of science from the students. This is my biggest wish when founding this organization, an organization for everyone and the community.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Nowadays, STEM plays an important role in education, in many countries around the world. Students have started to learn many things about how to use STEM in other fields of science. And the biggest problem that STEM needs to solve, is how to apply science and scientific achievements creatively and effectively to solve practical problems, especially in the era of sustainable development.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

It is the transformation of science into practice, the transformation of human creativity to solve practical problems, and I want that when I do this project, it is the desire that science is not abstract, it will be a practical application as effectively as possible. I will encourage students to express their creativity and thinking by creating a scientific product or invention, it doesn't have to be too elaborate, just try to experiment to bring about an effect on a specific problem. The Sustainable Development Goals are no longer just policies, they are goals that humanity needs to achieve. And science will have to play a key and important role in achieving them. Not only inventions and innovations, I encourage scientists and those who are passionate about STEM to think seriously about this issue, propose solutions to apply STEM into practice, every practical initiative will contribute effectively to help us achieve valuable results.

How has it been spreading?

After I started implementing it, it brought about a passion and understanding in many students. They showed great passion, interest and creative thinking, they clearly recognized the value of science in practice, and they understood my intention and desire for the application of STEM to solve sustainable development goals. The students showed that they were not only talented and intelligent, but also demonstrated a great sense of responsibility to the community from an early age, which is something that education has done well. My current goal is to spread my ideas across the country, to more students, because I know that there are still many people who share the same passion for science and dedication to the community, and what I need to do is to tap into their potential.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

What you need to do is to arouse the passion and desire for creativity and dedication in students, through exchanges, sharing, and giving talks and presentations. At the same time, through the project, it is necessary to demonstrate the value and importance of sustainable development goals for human development, as well as the urgency of applying science (especially STEM) to solve problems.

Implementation steps

Understand My Project, and My Passion

The first thing you need to do to apply my project for the first time in practice is to understand the journey I am on and what I want to convey. Only then can we understand each other's direction, work through the problems together, and when everything is settled, you can completely apply it to the specific conditions in each country, because you cannot apply a stereotyped model. You need to "improvise", depending on the specific situation, you will make it happen in the most appropriate way.

First Meeting with Students

First meetings are always a way to make an impression on someone, especially with students. When you communicate an idea, especially the ideas in my project, what you need to do is try to create comfort, fun and stimulate desire, interest and creative thinking in those students. These first meetings will help the project implementer convey what the project is aiming for, attract the students' attention and stimulate them to learn more about the project.

First Steps

You can take the first steps by opening up exploration, research and encouraging creativity from your students. Then, you need to synthesize the ideas and choose the best ones, the most practical ones that can solve problems related to sustainable development goals, prioritize implementation. Depending on the approach at each school, you can choose the first steps that are appropriate to the current conditions.

Next Steps

The next steps will be a series of stages, such as in-depth research, choosing materials to design the product, and implementing the product... This is the longest stage, requires the most time, and of course, it is very difficult to predict how long it will take to complete. So I leave it here as "next steps", which depends on the progress of work at each school, because not only creating or making products, students also have to balance their studies at school.

Complete and Put Into Testing

Any product that wants to reach a scientific level must go through a testing process, and this is no exception. Once you have completed a product based on your idea, all you need to do is guide your students to put it to the test. Testing will also be time-consuming and require demonstration of impact on specific goals. After testing, if the product has the good result, you will use it for specific targets in sustainable development goals (SDGs).
