From classrooms to careers: Yayasan MR D.I.Y. and PETRONAS champion STEM Learning

Representatives from Yayasan MR D.I.Y., Yayasan PETRONAS, and the Labuan State Education Department join forces at Karnival Kerjaya STEM to empower the next generation with future-ready technical skills and career opportunities.

Labuan, Malaysia, 12 May 2026 — Yayasan MR D.I.Y. has announced a strategic collaboration with Yayasan PETRONAS and PETRONAS’ Education and Human Capital Investment Unit to strengthen Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and support the development of a future-ready workforce.

The collaboration brings together key initiatives, including Karnival Kerjaya STEM and the Program Duta Guru (PDG), in line with the aspirations of the Rancangan Pendidikan Malaysia 2026–2035, underscoring the importance of increasing student participation in STEM to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving economy.

At the heart of this effort is Yayasan MR D.I.Y.’s 'STEM Discovery on Wheels' initiative, which delivers hands-on, experiential learning to students across the country. As part of this collaboration, Yayasan MR D.I.Y. has donated 950 STEM kits designed to spark curiosity and make learning more accessible, engaging, and practical.

A student in Labuan explores technical concepts through a hands-on learning kit donated by Yayasan MR D.I.Y. The initiative, held in collaboration with PETRONAS, aims to nurture a future-ready workforce by making STEM education accessible and engaging.

This collaboration also supports educators through the Yayasan PETRONAS' Program Duta Guru by integrating specialised resources and tools that enhance the delivery of impactful STEM instruction in classrooms. In addition, the Karnival Kerjaya STEM provides students with exposure to technical and vocational pathways, helping them better understand future career opportunities and equipping them with the skills needed to thrive.

In 2025 alone, Yayasan MR D.I.Y.’s outreach efforts reached nearly 400,000 beneficiaries nationwide. This latest collaboration with PETRONAS further strengthens the Foundation’s commitment to creating meaningful, sustainable impact by nurturing a resilient, skilled and innovation-driven generation.
