(Miri, 27th) The S31 class student team from Pei Min Middle School recently participated in the “2026 Malaysia Science Castle Competition” (Science Castle Malaysia 2026), and stood out among many competing teams to win the Silver Award.
This competition was held on April 16 in Kuching, attracting about 72 teams from all over Malaysia and the Philippines. Pei Min students participated with the theme “Recycling Fun: An IoT-Driven Campus Gamified Recycling System”, showcasing their project achievements. The project integrates IoT technology and gamification mechanisms, utilizing smart recognition and a points system to improve students’ enthusiasm for green recycling, making recycling more interactive and sustained. The team competed on the same stage with other outstanding school teams and performed well.
Pei Min Middle School was the only Chinese independent high school from Miri to send a team to participate in this event. The participating students were Chen Yixian, Huang Qihui, Wu Jiacheng, Chen Siling, Fang Rulin, Ye Peiqi, Dai Guixuan, and Zhang Xian; the supervising teacher was Qiu Nianjie.
During the competition, the students not only showcased their interdisciplinary integration abilities, but also gained valuable experience in system design, problem-solving, and on-site presentations. Through exchanges with other school teams, they further understood current trends in innovative projects and judging standards.
The participation was not only a presentation of achievements but also a rare learning opportunity for the students, laying the foundation for participation in higher-level competitions in the future.
“Science Castle” is one of Asia’s largest student research conferences, where junior high and high school students from various places present and discuss their research. This is not only a conference to display research results, but also a platform to collaborate with senior researchers, including researchers and postgraduates from enterprises and universities.
Pei Min principal Bei Meijiao stated that the school has always attached great importance to science education, encourages students to explore scientific research, foster innovative thinking, and hopes to use such major platforms to lead students from the classroom to the world, enhancing their abilities and broadening their horizons through practice.
She said that students brought their own research achievements to the competition, communicating ideas and colliding wisdoms on the same platform. This was not just a competition but a grand gathering of scientific spirit and a stage for students to explore the unknown and challenge themselves.
She hopes that this result will be a new starting point, continuing to promote the development of the school’s science education and nurturing more outstanding students with innovative spirit and international perspective.
