Maxis partners with PASUM in Maxis eKelas Menuju Gemilang 2025 STEM Camp to ignite passion for academic excellence amongst students
Maxis Berhad (Maxis) recently collaborated with Pusat Asasi Sains Universiti Malaya (PASUM) to organise a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) camp for secondary school students under the Maxis eKelas Menuju Gemilang 2025 programme. Launched in July 2025, Maxis eKelas Menuju Gemilang 2025 is an 18-month partnership programme with the Ministry of Education (MoE), dedicated to supporting high-potential students to excel in their SPM examinations and progress toward higher-education opportunities.
Held at PASUM, the two-day STEM camp brought together 85 Form 4 students from local secondary schools. As part of the Maxis eKelas Menuju Gemilang 2025 cohort, these students were chosen for their strong academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and leadership potential. The programme aimed to motivate them to pursue higher education particularly in STEM fields and enhance their university and scholarship prospects.
“Guided by our brand promise ‘Tomorrow Begins Today’, we are committed to supporting Malaysia’s high-potential students as they continue to grow and pursue their aspirations. Through Maxis eKelas Menuju Gemilang 2025, our collaboration with PASUM helps nurture their ambition, strengthen their extracurricular development, and shape them into well-rounded candidates who are better prepared to compete for places in Malaysia’s top universities. We hope this programme provides them with the guidance and confidence they need to take the next step in their academic journey.” - Azizul Abdul Rahman, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer of Maxis
"Maxis' eKelas Menuju Gemilang 2025 is an exemplary initiative that aligns well with PASUM’s mission to advance education and nurture the next generation of innovators who will contribute to Malaysia’s future.

Dr. Farazila Yusof, Executive Director, PASUM
The programme offered students the opportunity to explore a range of practical STEM workshops, from DNA extraction experiments, making skin lotions in the laboratories, and other activities to hone their critical thinking such as building towers from spaghetti strands as well as presenting and pitching their ideas build presentation skills and their confidence. Participants also engaged in a chemistry treasure hunt and an interactive session on artificial intelligence and future skills, giving them exposure to emerging technologies and real-world STEM applications.
The programme included a university tour to familiarise students with the campus environment, academic programmes, and post-SPM study options. Interactive sessions with representatives from Maxis and PASUM provided students with valuable insights on career development, personal growth, and life experiences.
