Rabat – Several students from STM School in Fez took part in the Exposciences Occitanie 2026 – Toulouse, a major science fair dedicated to young innovators, where students from different countries present scientific projects and exchange ideas in science, technology, and sustainable development.
Held on June 3 and 4 at the University of Toulouse in France, the event is organized as part of CIRASTI – Exposciences en Occitanie. It is designed for children and teenagers to showcase hands-on science projects, prototypes, and experiments, with a strong focus on learning through practice, creativity, and collaboration rather than competition.
At this year’s edition, several students from STM School were among the Moroccan youth selected to participate, representing their school among international peers. They presented student-developed scientific projects, which allowed them to demonstrate creativity, problem-solving skills, and applied knowledge in science and technology in an international environment.
The experience allowed the students to engage directly with other young participants and science educators from different countries, strengthening their communication skills and broadening their understanding of how science is taught and applied globally. The event’s interactive format encouraged teamwork, innovation, and critical thinking, all key elements of STEM education.
STM School, based in Fez, is known for its STEM-based educational model that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics into a modern learning approach. The school combines the Moroccan national curriculum with an international outlook, offering instruction in English, French, and Arabic, with a strong emphasis on English for scientific subjects.
Beyond classroom learning, STM School also encourages students to take part in extracurricular and project-based activities that foster creativity, curiosity, and analytical thinking. Participation in events such as Exposciences Occitanie reflects this approach by allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world and international settings.
The school says its mission is to “provide top-notch education that advances sciences in a tri-linguistic setting broadening the students’ future horizons.”
The participation of STM School students at Exposciences Occitanie 2026 also reflects the growing presence of Moroccan students in international science education initiatives and provides valuable exposure to global collaboration and innovation in STEM fields.
For STM School, the participation also reinforces its commitment to encouraging scientific curiosity and giving students opportunities to apply their knowledge beyond the classroom.
