Undertake educational outreach activities (e.g. tailored lectures or demonstrations) beyond campus – in local schools, in the community. This can include voluntary student-run schemes.

        On August 24, 2024, seventy-eight second-year students from the Faculty of Education, majoring in Science-Mathematics Learning Management, which includes four specializations — General Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics — organized the “Science Camp for Developing Young Thinkers #1: The Southern Connection of Rusamilae” at Sangwanwit 5 School, Yarom Subdistrict, Betong District, Yala Province.
        The activity was led by Assistant Professor Dr. Supakarn Buathip, Chair of the Bachelor of Education Program in Science-Mathematics Learning Management; Dr. Alisa Moolsri, Head of the General Science Program; and Mr. Jaruek Attasongkroh, Head of the Physics Program.
A total of 100 elementary students participated in the camp — 60 students from Sangwanwit 5 School (Grades 3–6) and 40 students from Ban Yarom School (Grades 4–6).

        The opening ceremony was honored by Mr. Sarawut Yodrak, Director of the Yala Primary Educational Service Area Office 3, who presided over the event. The report was presented by Ms. Sufianir Beeding, a second-year student from the Faculty of Education, majoring in Science-Mathematics Learning Management (Biology), and the Project President. The event also featured welcoming remarks by Ms. Siwan Chaikul, Deputy Director of Sangwanwit 5 School, and a thank-you speech by Assistant Professor Dr. Supakarn Buathip for the support provided in organizing the camp.

        The “Science Camp for Developing Young Thinkers #1: The Southern Connection of Rusamilae” consisted of five learning stations:

1. Magic of SDGs in Your Heart

2. Science Challenge: Conquer Give Love

3. Miracle of Life: Bingo Quest

4. Balancing Doll Challenge

5. Magic Paper, Tell Me Now…

        The camp received positive feedback from participating students and teachers from both schools. The students showed great interest in the hands-on science-based activities, while the teaching materials used at each station were donated to the schools for further classroom use.

        For the university students who organized the camp, it served as a valuable experiential learning opportunity—enhancing their skills and knowledge through practical implementation, teamwork across eight working committees, and the creative design of the five activity stations.

        The main objectives of the camp were to develop students’ abilities in organizing active learning-based activities, enhance schoolchildren’s understanding of scientific concepts and processes, and nurture analytical and creative thinking skills among participants.
