NextGen Spark
Igniting Innovation, Empowering Future Makers
NextGen Spark 2025 is our premier annual showcase and competition where our students step into the spotlight. It is a celebration of creativity, where learners from all NextGen Makers branches—Setia Alam, Puncak Alam, Shah Alam, and MTDC-UiTM—come together to display the innovative projects they’ve built throughout the year.
The Journey to Excellence
The event is structured into three key phases designed to transform students from learners into confident innovators:
The Innovation Showcase
Students present their robotic and coding projects to a live audience. This is their chance to explain their logic, demonstrate their builds (from Botley to Arduino IoT systems), and show how they’ve applied STEM principles to real-world scenarios
The Competitive Arena
Participants enter friendly yet challenging competitions based on their program levels. These challenges test their speed, accuracy, and troubleshooting skills under pressure, fostering a healthy competitive spirit.
PAJSK Recognition & Awards
Beyond the trophies, this event is officially recognized for PAJSK (Pentaksiran Aktiviti Jasmani, Sukan Dan Kokurikulum) marks. Every participant earns valuable co-curricular points that contribute to their school records, bridging the gap between private academy learning and formal education.
