KUCHING – The Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC) recently played a pivotal role in the success of Tiny Fest Kuching 2026, held at Tropics City.
The two-day event served as a vibrant hub for families and children, fostering a unique environment where creativity met hands-on technical education.
The festival provided an immersive platform for the local community to engage with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through a series of interactive activities.
By stepping away from traditional classroom settings, the event allowed young participants to explore complex digital concepts in a fun, accessible, and intuitive way.
The primary objective was to ignite curiosity in primary-age learners while simultaneously building their confidence in modern digital literacy.
SDEC collaborated closely with its dedicated STEM Delivery Partner, The Learning Curve (TLC), to facilitate the workshops.
This partnership underscores SDEC’s long-term commitment to embedding digital awareness within the state’s grassroots.
By introducing these skills at an early developmental stage, the organisers aim to bridge the gap between abstract academic subjects and real-world innovation.
The atmosphere at Tropics City was described as highly encouraging, with organisers noting that the high level of participation reflects a growing interest in technology among the younger generation in Sarawak.
These initiatives are not merely about entertainment; they are designed to curate meaningful learning experiences that challenge children to think critically, solve problems, and collaborate with their peers.
Through such initiatives, SDEC hopes to cultivate a workforce of the future that is comfortable with emerging technologies.
By inspiring children to imagine and create, the organisation is actively laying the groundwork for Sarawak’s broader digital economy transformation.
As the digital landscape in the state continues to evolve, SDEC remains steadfast in its mission to ensure that such learning opportunities remain accessible.
The success of Tiny Fest Kuching 2026 serves as a clear indicator of the community’s appetite for tech-centric education, and it is expected that similar programmes will continue to be rolled out across the region to ensure that the next generation is well-equipped to thrive in a digital-first future.
The mayor of Kuching South City Council (MBKS), Dato Wee Hong Seng, also attended the event today and gave his speech.
