The workshops are designed to build on a child’s natural curiosity by teaching STEM concepts through hands-on learning. There are four (4) workshops offered - Coding, Robotics, Embedded System and App Inventing which are taught over a three-hour period.

Currently in its second year, webe community is a platform that enables changemakers to come together to co-create ideas that have a long term positive impact to different communities in Malaysia.
