    As part of this nationwide effort, Yayasan MR D.I.Y. extended support to 13 charitable homes across Malaysia, contributing a total of RM21,000 to assist with festive preparations and essential daily needs. Each home received specially curated ‘Raya Sama-Sama’ care boxes, filled with Hari Raya decorations, household essentials, and MR D.I.Y. cash vouchers. These contributions enabled the homes to create a warmer, more meaningful celebration environment for their residents.

The programme is designed to spark curiosity and hands-on exploration, allowing students and visitors of all ages to engage with STEM concepts in a way that is interactive, accessible and enjoyable.

    By integrating STEM education within Muzium Negara, the initiative extends learning beyond traditional classroom settings and encourages experiential discovery through practical activities that foster creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

    The arrival of these STEM kits at Muzium Negara marks a collaborative effort by Yayasan MR. DIY to make science and technology learning more accessible to the public through the museum’s outreach programs.

    The programme is part of Yayasan MR D.I.Y.’s broader sustainability and community empowerment efforts, which focus on delivering high-impact, long-term initiatives that uplift youth and support national aspirations for an innovation-driven and resilient future generation.
