On February 2nd, 2023, the Pak Alliance for Maths and Science (PAMS) and the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MoFEPT) organized a celebratory event to acknowledge the efforts of government schools in Islamabad that have embraced the STEAM-based pedagogy. Titled as the ‘STEAM Competition Awards Ceremony,’ the event was graced by the presence of hundreds of government school teachers and students. The Khwarizmi Science Society (KSS) was invited by PAMS to conduct two transformational teacher training workshops at the ceremony.

The KSS team visited the Zaawiya Trust School to distribute particle physics colouring books in Urdu. Designed by CERN, these two books on the particles of the universe and the ATLAS experiment were printed in and translated in Urdu by the Khwarizmi Science Society and the volunteers, Syeda Amina and Hamza Hanif. KSS has distributed almost 400 books to the The Trust School, the Little Stars Orphanage in Vehari, and Takmil School branches in Muzafargarh, Balochistan, and Sindh along with the Zaawiya Trust School.
Ms Mohsina Asif and Mr Muhammad Yausoob distributed colouring books amongst children and entertained them with short films about CERN and ATLAS. We can’t wait to see these budding scientists and artists bloom!
