CASPA SEF2023
CASPA SCIENCE & ENGINEERING FAIR
We are pleased to announce that the 2023 CASPA Science and Engineering Fair showcase will take place on August 5, 2023. As usual, all participating science projects will be showcased. In addition, we are excited to offer more hands-on STEM activities this year, including a robotics live demo and a math game festival.
Semiconductor technology, math, and engineering are three of the most important components of robotics. These components form the foundation of robotics and enable the creation of more advanced and intelligent machines. Semiconductor technology and math are essential to the design and development of robotic systems, while engineering provides the necessary knowledge and skills to build and control these systems.
Our showcase event provides a unique opportunity for families to explore these components through hands-on and interactive activities. Kids and families will have the chance to observe, think, collaborate, and discover, just like real-world mathematicians and engineers do.
We look forward to an exciting and informative event, and we believe that all the attendees will find the showcase rewarding and inspiring.
