GENIUS STEM Talent was established in 2017 and is one of the initiatives
under the GENIUS Division that ensures that the gifted and talented students
identified under the GENIUS@Pintar Education Program
in STEM disciplines in higher education continue to excel and, thus, to contribute to the country.
The recognition of their abilities, motivation, and potential must be developed
and supported to help them achieve their full potential.
GENIUS STEM Talent provides continuous support to GENIUS@Pintar and GENIUS Insan alumni
through various activities or programs, including mentoring and workshops, as well as
funding for conferences, industrial training, research attachments, student exchange programs,
and professional certification courses. We are collaborating with scientists
and technology experts in various industries to give these gifted and
talented individuals more experience and opportunities to develop their
skills and potential so that the industries can tap their potential.
All the activities and programs emphasize three important components,
namely, the ability to manage complex challenges, engagement in adapting
personal and national goals, and aspiration to critical responsibilities.
The various activities and programs serve as platforms for the further
development of the students’ skills and potential, enabling them to
become leaders in STEM fields.
