SFYC is a programme specifically designed with Tamil School students in mind, and only they may compete in the Fairs. However, the Fairs are open to the general public who are invited – with their families – to view students’ projects and talk to participants. Those who are scientifically inclined may also volunteer as project guides, judges, and coordinators.

Started in 2004, SFYC has been very succesfull and has been increasing in participation up to national level.

In 2009, around 300 teams took part in the Fair. And, in addition to the national and state level fairs, a significant number of Tamil Schools, too, organized school level fairs so a larger number of students could enjoy the Fair’s benefits.

On 23rd of May 2009, Putera Mic Johore organized Johor state level Science Fair For Young Children(SFYC) 2009 which took place at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM),Batu Pahat, Johor.

This is a fair for the young primary tamil school students aroundJohore where the objective of this event is to develop interest among young indian students towards science and technology. Gradually, the students also will learn how to conduct,exhibit and explain the experiments that they have carried out. During the process of learning, the students will also develop the skills of retrieving information from the internet. This science fair was conducted in 3stages which includes the school level and followed by state level and finally the national level.

About 67 Tamil Primary schools where a total of 350 students participated in this fair.This fair was officiated by YAD Datin Paduka Prof Dr Jamilah Bt Ariffin,Yand Dipertua of Juvita Organisation Malaysia.The Chief guest is YB Dato’ Dr S.Subramaniam,Ministry Of Human Resource for the closing and prize giving ceremony.
