Ignite 2026 – Celebrating Innovation in STEM

At NPS-KRM, we believe in inspiring creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills among our students. The introduction of STEM education into our curriculum has played a vital role in preparing learners for a technology-driven world.

Ignite 2026 was a remarkable celebration of STEM, where our Grade 5 students showcased an impressive range of innovative projects between February 24 and February 27, 2026. The exhibition highlighted the seamless integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics across diverse disciplines.

Students presented creative solutions to real-world challenges, with projects ranging from sustainable energy models to engaging interactive experiments. The event provided a dynamic platform for learners to demonstrate their practical skills, critical thinking abilities, and collaborative spirit.

STEM education goes far beyond formulae, equations, and coding—it empowers students to solve real-world problems, create meaningful solutions, and think innovatively. Some of the standout projects included a reverse parking system using sensors, paper mechanics models demonstrating CRANK and CAM mechanisms, Explorer – Direction Finder using a magnetometer sensor in a micro:bit to display directions, Detect & Protect—a laser-based security system designed to prevent trespassing—and interactive games developed using Scratch programming.

The showcase was an enriching and engaging learning experience. Students thoroughly enjoyed collaborating, brainstorming, and applying their knowledge to analyse and address real-world problems. Ignite 2026 truly reflected the spirit of curiosity, creativity, and innovation that defines our young learners.
