Reports
【Reflection】
Visitors expressed interest and enjoyed the workshop activities involving educational media and thinking skills-enhancing games, as well as the opportunity to exchange ideas about STEM learning in Thailand and from visitors' countries.
The workshop attracted a predominantly Japanese audience, with approximately 90% of participants being Japanese visitors. Among the various activities offered, the Periscope camera construction workshop emerged as the most popular attraction, particularly for families. Children demonstrated remarkable enthusiasm during the hands-on building process, while adult participants expressed that the activity transported them back to their childhood, evoking nostalgic feelings and rekindling their sense of wonder. This intergenerational appeal created memorable experiences that left lasting impressions on families.
The mathematical learning materials and computational thinking skill card games received highly positive feedback from visitors, who recognized their educational value in developing cognitive abilities in children. Parents particularly appreciated how these resources could enhance their children's critical thinking and problem-solving skills in an engaging, game-based format. The interactive nature of these materials proved effective in making abstract mathematical concepts more accessible and enjoyable for young learners.
Professional educators and teachers attending the exhibition provided valuable perspectives on the educational innovations presented. These practitioners expressed admiration for Thailand's advancement in educational technology and were particularly impressed by Thailand's basic education curriculum initiatives that promote technological literacy and STEM competencies among students.
The exhibition successfully showcased Thailand's commitment to educational innovation and technological integration. Visitors gained insights into how Thai educational institutions are adapting to global technological trends while maintaining focus on fundamental learning principles. The overwhelmingly positive response validates the effectiveness of hands-on, experiential learning approaches in STEM education.
This experience reinforces the importance of creating educational programs that appeal to diverse age groups and cultural backgrounds. The universal enthusiasm for hands-on activities demonstrates that people share fundamental desires to explore, create, and learn through direct experience. The positive feedback provides valuable validation of IPST's educational approach and shows the potential for Thai STEM education materials to resonate with international audiences.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Building on the positive reception from expo participants, IPST will leverage these insights to advance key educational initiatives. The institute remains committed to developing curriculum and promoting AI learning in basic education, while dedicating itself to STEM curricula and educational media research to keep pace with global changes. IPST also supports teacher training and nurtures gifted and talented individuals in STEM to elevate national education as a mechanism for driving social and economic development.
The AI curricular development initiative will continue progressing systematically, with plans for widespread implementation following successful completion of the foundational framework. The program will be structured across three educational levels: primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary education, ensuring age-appropriate content and progressive skill development. This approach prepares Thai students for the digital future, developing essential computational thinking and AI literacy skills from an early age. Teacher training programs will be implemented to introduce educators to the new curriculum and drive effective implementation.
Interactive media development represents another key expansion area, with plans to broaden subject content and incorporate multilingual capabilities. IPST will develop interactive learning materials in multiple languages, making them accessible to diverse international audiences. This approach will expand the reach of Thai educational innovations, positioning IPST as a regional leader in educational technology.
The enthusiastic response from visitors, particularly to hands-on teaching materials and interactive workshops, has highlighted significant opportunities for international expansion. This feedback validates the universal appeal of experiential learning approaches and opens doors for cross-cultural educational collaboration. Plans are underway to develop comprehensive packages of hands-on educational materials for international audiences.
The success of activities like the Periscope workshop demonstrates that tactile, interactive learning experiences transcend cultural barriers, making them ideal for global distribution. IPST will pursue expanding hands-on teaching materials adaptable for various international educational contexts.
These initiatives represent IPST's commitment to educational excellence and international collaboration. The expansion efforts will involve strategic partnerships with other Thai organizations including National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) and educational agencies such as the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC), the Office of the Private Education Commission (OPEC), Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), and Department of Local Administration (DLA) to ensure nationwide coverage. Additionally, IPST continues to seek future international collaborations to further enhance educational innovation. This collaborative approach will develop innovative educational solutions benefiting Thai students while contributing to global educational advancement through effective teaching methodologies and cutting-edge technologies.
