The Malaysian Youth Upcycle Challenge (My YUC) 2020/21 program was held on the 18th January – 7th Februari 2021. This innovation program aims to enhance the interest of our youth to elements of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI). This program was jointly organised by  Persatuan Kesihatan Persekitaran dan Pekerjaan (EOHS) and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) and Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia (YIM). The director of this program was Dr. Sharifah NorKhadijah Binti Syed Ismail from UPM.

Together with many academia from other universities, I have been appointed as one of the judges to evaluate the submission by our youth inventors. There are three themes in the competition which are Green Technology, Environmental Sustainability and Renewable Energy.

Congratulations to all winners! Keep inventing!
