PRESS STATEMENT BY YAB LIM GUAN ENG AT THE TECH DOME PENANG ON 29 APRIL 2016<\/p>\n
Against a back drop of declining enrollment in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) disciplines in schools and tertiary institutions among our young people, Tech Dome Penang (TDP) shall promote, inspire and rekindle interest amongst the younger generation of Malaysians to a future in science and tehcnology.<\/p>\n
This is important for Malaysia and especially Penang as we depend on skilled and technologically trained workers to attract manufacturing investments and power our strong technology base.<\/p>\n
TDP is housed in the Geodesic Dome and the Annexe building of Komtar. Comprising roughly 40,000sq ft of space equipped with over 120 interactive science and technology exhibits to provide for hours of fun-filled discovery for young and old alike. The exhibits are setup in themed galleries i.e. Forces and Motion, IT, Robotics, Optics, Life Tech and Electromagnetism.<\/p>\n
In the cafeteria, the Penang Transformation Story of the FTZ shall be told. We shall also have a Children\u2019s Exploration Zone for under 5\u2019s where playing and learning are blended in an environment for discovery.<\/p>\n
Additionally, TDP shall also have an Observatory fitted with the largest telescope in Penang.<\/p>\n
Many companies have come forward offering to put together exhibits in TDP to tell the story of the science and technology behind the products they make.<\/p>\n
Apart from exhibits at the TDP, we shall also conduct special education programs in STEM for children and also adults that focus on experiential learning. TDP shall also run special projects in STEM topics where the public can participate in.<\/p>\n
The TDP is a RM28 million initiative by the Penang State Government to attract more young people to take up the more difficult science and engineering disciplines. As you take a sneak preview today, we hope the TDP will appeal to our kids the wonder of technology and magic of science. The TDP is a living symbol of our motto of ‘Inspiring The Future’.<\/p>\n
TDP wishes to thank the many who have donated and supported us in many ways in the 5 year journey that brought us to the threshold of our official opening in July 16th. Those who strongly supported us include Malaysians from all walks of life, corporations and the Penang Development Corporation.<\/p>\n
We still have a shortfall of RM1m to reach our fund raising goal for this project. The Glow Walk event this Saturday night will help us towards this goal.<\/p>\n
TDP is a not-for-profit organization and depends on the continual goodwill of the public to ensure its continuous development and sustainability. We are looking for Penangites and Malaysians to step forward as volunteers to assist us to run TDP and build this into a world class facility that promotes science and technology.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh YAB Lim Guan Eng di Tech Dome Penang pada 29 April 2016<\/p>\n
Berlatarkan kemerosotan penglibatan golongan
\nmuda di dalam bidang Sains, Teknologi, Kejuruteraan dan Matematik di sekolah-sekolah dan Institusi Pengajian Tinggi (IPT), Tech Dome Penang (TDP) akan mempromosi, memupuk inspirasi dan menyemarakkan semula minat generasi muda di Malaysia untuk masa depan dalam bidang sains dan teknologi.<\/p>\n
Ini adalah penting bagi Malaysia dan Pulau Pinang terutamanya kerana kita bergantung kepada pekerja mahir dan teknologi terlatih untuk menarik pelaburan pembuatan dan memperkasa asas teknologi sedia ada.<\/p>\n
TDP terletak di Bangunan Dome Geodesic dan Annexe di Komtar. Dengan keluasan 40,000 kaki persegi, ia dilengkapi dengan lebih daripada 120 buah pameran interaktif sains dan teknologi yang penuh keseronokan untuk semua peringkat usia. Pameran dijalankan dalam galeri-galeri bertema seperti daya dan pergerakan, IT, robotik, optik, teknologi kehidupan dan keelektromagnetan.<\/p>\n
Kisah kejayaan transformasi FTZ di Pulau Pinang akan dipamerkan di kafeteria. Terdapat juga Zon Eksplorasi untuk kanak-kanak di bawah 5 tahun di mana bermain dan belajar akan digabungkan dalam suasana yang menyeronokkan.<\/p>\n
Selain itu, TDP juga mempunyai Balai Cerap yang dilengkapi dengan teleskop terbesar di Pulau Pinang.<\/p>\n
Banyak syarikat telah tampil menawarkan untuk bersama-sama menyertai ruang pameran di TDP ini untuk menceritakan sains dan teknologi di sebalik produk syarikat tersebut.<\/p>\n
Selain daripada pameran di TDP, kita juga mengadakan program pendidikan khas STEM untuk kanak-kanak dan juga orang dewasa yang memberi tumpuan kepada pembelajaran melalui pengalaman. TDP juga menjalankan projek-projek khas di dalam topik STEM di mana orang awam juga boleh mengambil bahagian.<\/p>\n
Dengan kos sebanyak RM28 juta, TDP adalah inisiatif daripada Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang untuk menarik minat generasi muda untuk menyertai bidang sains dan kejuruteraan yang sukar ini. Dengan sesi pratonton pada hari ini, kita berharap agar TDP akan menarik minat anak-anak kita yang masih ragu dengan bidang teknologi dan keajaiban sains. TDP adalah simbol kepada moto ‘Inspiring The Future’.<\/p>\n
TDP ingin mengucapkan ucapan terima kasih yang tidak terhingga kepada semua yang telah menderma dan menyokong sepanjang perjalanan 5 tahun menuju ke ambang pembukaan rasmi pada 16 Julai ini. Mereka termasuk rakyat Malaysia dari semua lapisan masyarakat, syarikat dan Perbadanan Pembangunan Pulau Pinang (PDC).<\/p>\n
Kita masih kekurangan RM1 juta untuk mencapai matlamat mengumpul dana untuk projek ini. Acara Glow Walk pada hari Sabtu malam ini diharap dapat membantu mencapai matlamat tersebut.<\/p>\n
TDP adalah sebuah organisasi bukan berasaskan keuntungan dan bergantung kepada sokongan orang ramai untuk memastikan pembangunan yang berterusan dan mampan. Kita sedang mencari penduduk Pulau Pinang dan rakyat Malaysia untuk tampil ke hadapan sebagai sukarelawan untuk membantu menggerakkan TDP dan bersama-sama memastikan kemudahan bertaraf dunia ini dapat mempromosikan bidang sains dan teknologi.<\/p>\n
