Opportunity Information: Apply for CB600 17 PAS 001
The YSEALI STEM Education Regional Workshop grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Cambodia) funding competition to select one organization to design and run a four-day STEM education workshop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, with arrival and departure included in the program timeline. The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the implementing partner should expect active coordination with the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Section during planning and delivery. The overall goal is to strengthen STEM education knowledge and practical skills among emerging leaders in Southeast Asia, with a focus on long-term STEM promotion, curriculum integration, and effective youth engagement strategies.
The program is structured as a regional YSEALI convening that brings together 40 YSEALI members from ASEAN countries plus 10 additional Cambodian YSEALI members, for a total cohort of about 50 participants. Participants are expected to already have some familiarity with STEM education topics and a strong interest in advancing STEM learning and outreach in their communities. The workshop content is intended to cover both the opportunities and the real-world challenges of expanding STEM education, including best practices for teaching and learning, ways to spark youth interest in STEM fields, and approaches for embedding STEM concepts into formal curricula and informal education settings.
A key feature of the workshop is learning from a U.S. Fulbright Visiting Scholar, Dr. Do-Yong Park, who will share research and insights related to STEM education. Beyond classroom-style sessions, the workshop is designed to be hands-on and experiential. Participants will take part in informational briefings, facilitated discussions, breakout groups on specific themes, and group project work that culminates in presentations. The program also includes site-based learning focused on the application of STEM to cultural heritage preservation, with examples such as visits connected to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum or the Choeung Ek Killing Fields, highlighting how science and engineering tools can support documentation, conservation, and public education around historic sites.
The workshop timeline connects learning to public engagement through participation in the Cambodian Science and Engineering Festival, where participants will present their group projects. This element is meant to reinforce practical communication skills, teamwork, and the ability to translate STEM education ideas into accessible outputs for broader audiences. The implementing organization would be responsible for developing the agenda and curriculum, coordinating speakers and logistics, managing participant activities, and ensuring the program delivers a coherent mix of instruction, collaboration, and applied learning aligned with YSEALI goals.
