Introduction
With hopes of becoming TIA’s first flagship event, ‘SPM In Action’ (SIA) is a series of intensive workshops conducted by SPM subject teacher guest speakers seeking to provide SPM students with subject-specific insights for free. SIA involves a ‘crash-course’ style itinerary that offers students a unique opportunity to learn and review the key information of several subjects within a short duration. We believe this will prove useful in gathering key information specific to each subject, in addition to consolidating their grasp of commonly assessed questions and topics. SIA seeks to provide SPM students with a synergistic environment to ask questions, clarify doubts and share their ideas. Our primary target audience is SPM 2023 students from various locations as workshop contents will be specifically tailored to SPM 2023 examinations.
Event details are as follows:
Date: 9th - 10th December 2023
Time: 8:00 a.m. - 6:30 p.m.

Crowdfunding
TIA has held crowdfunding to raise funds from the public. We received donations via two platforms, DuitNow and online bank transfer. 100% of donations collected from crowdfunding funded the expenses of SIA.
Impact
SPM In Action managed to gather and benefit 90 participants on Day 1 and 120 participants on Day 2 to participate in our workshop series at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus, including Closing the Gap (CTG) scholars and SPM students from Trinity Community Children Home. Both days of the SPM In Action Youtube Livestream also gathered more than 2500 accumulated views as of 23 December 2023. Hard-copy workshop notes were printed and distributed to all participants to help participants follow the workshops easily. Lunch was provided for all participants on both days. Exciting prizes such as Starbucks gift cards and Grab vouchers were available to be won by participants upon answering post-workshop questions correctly to encourage their participation in the workshop series. All these benefits were subsidised completely by the event’s funding, and no fees were imposed onto participants.
