Back in the old days when I was in primary school, I didn't have any chance to do experiments,
to even make a thing.
What I learned is we're all from teachers, from textbooks.
So I couldn't really relate what I have learned to the daily life.
What is the most important is from doing experiments they can really connect what they have learned,
what they did, what they make to their daily life.
One of the programs is about making a parachute.
So we gave the children 10 different materials to let them choose what they like.
So they have to choose the materials which are more durable, which are more suitable
to make a parachute.
We did a lot of research before we started SoliB.
There's actually a ton of education centers that offer STEM programs, but 99% of these
centers only focus on technology.
So they offer coding, robotics, 3D printing.
I think it's because it's easy to set up.
All you have to do is buy a few machines, 3D printers, computers, and micro-bit, Arduino.
And there's actually a lot of IT talents out there in the market, so it's easy to set up.
But for us, we think that STEM should focus on all four areas.
So we came up with the idea to come up with this program that focuses on all four.
So now we do activities like physics, chemistry, biology experiments, engineering.
We believe that kids should have the freedom to explore scientific or natural phenomenon
in their daily lives.
What is sad is that they actually don't have the time to do it.
They're too busy, and parents focus a lot on academics.
But with the STEM trend coming up, we think it's a good opportunity to now actually let
them explore a bit more about their lives.
One of the experiments that was very popular among the kids was actually our acid alkali.
To us, it's actually a very basic knowledge that things are acidic or alkaline or neutral.
But to the kids, they actually have no idea what it means.
So we came with the idea to make their own pH indicators, and they see liquids color
change, and that was very interesting for them.
We had a lot of materials that they were basically just daily life materials that they can get
anywhere, like lemon, coffee, milk.
Then they can basically just test out with their own indicators, and then they can tell
whether it's acidic and alkaline or color change.
We have quite a good pipeline coming up.
So first of all, we're trying to expand our presence.
One thing we're doing, we're not actually renting or starting up another center from
scratch.
We're cooperating with other education centers who have classrooms that are underutilized.
So during weekends, if they have like 10 classrooms, and they're probably not filling up all their
classes, they're inviting us to their center so they can have a lot of resources.
Another program that they can let kids choose, most of these centers are maybe language centers,
English centers.
So there's no contradiction.
It's basically a very complementary thing.
And second, we're trying to introduce this to schools, to primary schools, and that's in
the pipeline.
We're still offering out logistics in the town.
So we're trying to get a lot of people to know about our community.
We're trying to get them to know about our community.
We're trying to get them to know about our community.
We're trying to get them to know about our community.
We're trying to get them to know about our community.
We're trying to get them to know about our community.
We're trying to get them to know about our community.
