Expected outcomes of the CSTC will include:
(i) improved understanding of the role of historically important scientific discoveries and technological breakthrough innovations;
(ii) improved self-confidence with respect to their abilities to learn new scientific concepts, apply existing and emerging technologies, and innovate new solutions;
(iii) application of scientific methods and technology inspired principles and processes in problem solving and everyday decision making;
(iv) demonstrated ability to effectively collaborate, communicate and share experiences;
(v) positive contributions to improving local and global communities; and
(vi) gaining a deeper understanding of STEM, and increased awareness of STEM career paths accessible in Cambodia.
