To cultivate interest and foster understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), Proton DX, an ACO Tech development in collaboration with PROTON and China Construction Bank (CCB), announced its availability as a community engagement platform for STEM exploration.
PROTON DX is the country’s first automotive digital centre that houses a blend of interactive technology, leisure, and lifestyle elements. It aims to be the centre for automotive and technological learning for all ages, including as a platform to spark interest in STEM amongst the younger generation.
The centre hosts a monthly Student Robotic Car Workshop targeting secondary school students. At the workshop, students learn the basics of assembling and programming their own mini autonomous vehicle using an Arduino platform.

Over 50 Malaysian youths across the Klang Valley, including a group of 20 students from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, have participated in the workshop. Students who complete this workshop received a certificate and goodie bag.

ACO Tech is targeting to engage with at least 200 Malaysian youths through this workshop and other upcoming STEM activities by the end of 2024.
To maximise the facilities on offer, PROTON DX actively welcomes collaborations from local companies in search for a platform to conduct events and workshops promoting STEM awareness and education among young Malaysians, as well as other activities designed to bring local communities together.
PROTON DX also welcomes visitors of all ages to enjoy a resourceful visit to the centre. Visitors get to learn about ACO Tech’s technologies and products, and experience engaging activities available in PROTON DX such as the Virtual Cockpit, a virtual drive in a purpose- built enclosed theatre-like dome to experience smart mobility.

The centre, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, has a space spanning over
5,000 square feet that can fit around 40 guests comfortably at any given time, including a
private VIP lounge equipped with an 86-inch TV for meetings.
The digital experience centre opens daily from 10am to 10pm and is located at Ground Floor, Quill City Mall, 1018, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur.
