There has been no change in the aim of conducting this extraordinary event for the past 16 years. It has always been in SEDEX’s interest to nurture and develop newer talents that might be able to make a difference to our country or perhaps our world in the future. SEDEX is also seen to be one step ahead in aim of improving science and technological development in Malaysia, as they give opportunity to young talents from both primary and secondary schools to participate in the Young Inventor’s Challenge category, hoping to encourage those who participated to be inventors when the time is right.
